Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper examines whether supply chain capabilities (i.e., collaboration and coordination) mediate the relationships between interfirm governance mechanisms (i.e., formal control and social control) and supply chain responsiveness in the context of small businesses. Using survey data from 331 small businesses in Ghana, we find that interfirm governance mechanisms are not directly related to supply chain responsiveness. Additional results show that interfirm governance mechanisms have positive indirect relationships, via supply chain capabilities, with supply chain responsiveness. Overall, this paper offers an improved understanding of how interfirm governance mechanisms might contribute to supply chain responsiveness in small businesses.

企业间治理机制和能力如何决定小企业的供应链响应能力：来自非洲市场的证据

摘要本文研究了供应链能力（即协作和协调）是否在小企业背景下调节企业间治理机制（即正式控制和社会控制）与供应链响应之间的关系。使用来自加纳331家小企业的调查数据，我们发现公司间治理机制与供应链响应性没有直接关系。进一步的研究结果表明，企业间治理机制通过供应链能力与供应链响应能力具有正的间接关系。总的来说，本文更好地理解了公司间治理机制如何有助于小企业的供应链响应。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
