Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to use empirical data to examine the hierarchical impact of the Internet of things capability on supply chain integration (SCI), supply chain capability (SCC) and firm performance (FP) in the UK retail industry.Design/methodology/approachA deductive approach was employed to carry out this research. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was performed using the partial least square method (SmartPLS 3.3.3) to test theoretical predictions which underlie the relationships among Internet of things capability (IoTC), SCI, SCC and FP. Data are collected using an online survey completed by senior executives of 66 large, medium and small firms within the UK retail industry.FindingsThe empirical results of this research reveal that IoTC has a significant positive effect on the UK retail industry FP through the mediating role of SCI and SCC.Practical implicationsThe research results from this study provide useful management insights for firms within the retail industry into the development of effective strategies for integrating their supply chain alongside the adoption of IoTC into SCI, consequently leading to improvements in FP.Originality/valueAlthough previous studies have explored the impact of IoT on FP through the sequential mediating role of SCI and SCC, few have explored the impact of the IoT capability (IoTC) on FP through sequential mediators, i.e. SCI and SCC. This study examines the relationship between IoTC, SCI, SCC and FP in the UK retail industry supply chain to address this knowledge gap. Moreover, this study examines the effects of IoTC on FP by applying partial least square (PLS)-SEM techniques. Testing the sequential mediating role of SCI and SCI is undertaken, and the relationships among IoT-enabled SCI and SCC is analysed to improve FP. The robustness check's result through PLSpredict analysis also confirms the power of the model proposed in this study.

物联网能力对供应链整合和企业绩效的影响:英国零售业的实证研究

本研究的目的是使用实证数据来检验物联网能力对英国零售业供应链整合(SCI)、供应链能力(SCC)和企业绩效(FP)的层次影响。设计/方法/方法采用演绎法进行本研究。使用偏最小二乘法(SmartPLS 3.3.3)进行结构方程建模(SEM)，以检验物联网能力(IoTC)、SCI、SCC和FP之间关系的理论预测。数据是通过在线调查收集的，由英国零售业内66家大型、中型和小型公司的高级管理人员完成。结果本研究的实证结果表明，IoTC通过SCI和SCC的中介作用对英国零售业FP有显著的正向影响。实际意义本研究的研究结果为零售行业内的公司提供了有用的管理见解，帮助他们制定有效的战略，整合供应链，同时将物联网纳入SCI，从而改善FP。虽然已有研究通过SCI和SCC的顺序中介作用探讨了物联网对FP的影响，但很少有研究通过SCI和SCC的顺序中介作用探讨物联网能力(IoTC)对FP的影响。本研究考察了英国零售业供应链中物联网、SCI、SCC和FP之间的关系，以解决这一知识差距。此外，本研究通过应用偏最小二乘(PLS)-扫描电镜技术考察了IoTC对FP的影响。对SCI和SCI的顺序中介作用进行了检验，并分析了物联网SCI和SCC之间的关系，以提高FP。plpredict分析的稳健性检验结果也证实了本研究提出的模型的有效性。
