Abstract

Purpose

The dynamic business environment and intense competition have mandated agility in operations for manufacturing firms. Effective inter-organizational collaboration can make operations more agile. This paper develops an interpretive model to explore the effect of supply chain collaboration (SCC) on supply chain agility (SCA) and, subsequently, on business performance.

Design/methodology/approach

A hierarchical model that illustrates the relationship between SCC, SCA and firm performance components is developed using total interpretative structural modeling (TISM). Also, statistical validation of the model has been performed.

Findings

The results indicate that the vision and alertness of the firm on the strategic front promote collaboration between supply chain partners. This creates operational agility, helping the firm to absorb fluctuations in demand, thereby enhancing business performance.

Research limitations/implications

The opinion of most respondents was considered to develop the TISM framework over the fuzzy one, which necessitates a significantly more extensive data set. However, multiple discussions with participants can eliminate the prejudice of the majority approach. Also, the paper's development and validation were restricted to Indian manufacturing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The model can potentially be evaluated in large organizations to provide further insights.

Originality/value

The study blends the factors of SCC and SCA in a novel way to explain their combined impact on business performance. The TISM model addresses the “why” of theory development in addition to the “what” and “how” of it. Using triangulation in combination with the interpretative tool, this study additionally offers methodological value.

供应链协作、灵活性和企业绩效:以印度制造业中小企业为例
目的 多变的商业环境和激烈的竞争要求制造企业的运营具有灵活性。有效的组织间协作可以使企业运营更加敏捷。本文建立了一个解释性模型,以探讨供应链协作(SCC)对供应链敏捷性(SCA)的影响,进而对企业绩效的影响。设计/方法/途径本文采用全面解释性结构模型(TISM)建立了一个层次模型,说明了 SCC、SCA 和企业绩效要素之间的关系。结果结果表明,企业在战略方面的远见和警觉性促进了供应链合作伙伴之间的合作。研究局限性/意义在制定 TISM 框架时,考虑了大多数受访者的意见,而不是模糊框架,这就需要更广泛的数据集。不过,与参与者进行多次讨论可以消除多数人方法的偏见。此外,本文的开发和验证仅限于印度的中小型制造企业(SMEs)。原创性/价值该研究以一种新颖的方式融合了 SCC 和 SCA 的因素,以解释它们对企业绩效的综合影响。除了 "做什么 "和 "怎么做 "之外,TISM 模型还解决了理论发展的 "为什么 "问题。本研究将三角测量与解释性工具相结合,在方法论上具有额外的价值。

期刊介绍: Business processes are a fundamental building block of organizational success. Even though effectively managing business process is a key activity for business prosperity, there remain considerable gaps in understanding how to drive efficiency through a process approach. Building a clear and deep understanding of the range process, how they function, and how to manage them is the major challenge facing modern business. Business Process Management Journal (BPMJ) examines how a variety of business processes intrinsic to organizational efficiency and effectiveness are integrated and managed for competitive success. BPMJ builds a deep appreciation of how to manage business processes effectively by disseminating best practice. Coverage includes: BPM in eBusiness, eCommerce and eGovernment Web-based enterprise application integration eBPM, ERP, CRM, ASP & SCM Knowledge management and learning organization Methodologies, techniques and tools of business process modeling, analysis and design Techniques of moving from one-shot business process re-engineering to continuous improvement Best practices in BPM Performance management Tools and techniques of change management BPM case studies.
