Abstract

Purpose This study aims to examine the effect of supply chain agility (SCA) on the export performance of the Pakistani textile industry. Despite being one of the leading manufacturing and exporting sectors, only a handful of the extant literature is found on the textile industry. Design/methodology/approach A structured questionnaire was prepared using the extant literature. Data was gathered from 146 respondents associated with the textile industry of Pakistan. Hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling after ensuring the reliability and validity of the data collected for this study. Findings This study provides several crucial insights for export-oriented firms. International entrepreneurial orientation and domestic competition are the crucial drivers for a firm’s agility. This study confirms that SCA has a significant impact on escalating export performance of the Pakistani textile industry in the international market. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the theoretical framework developed for this study is original and drawn from the extant literature. The findings of resulted from empirical testing of the theoretical model in the context of developing countries provide new information in the knowledge body.

影响供应链敏捷性以提高出口绩效的因素——以出口导向型纺织业为例

目的本研究旨在检验供应链敏捷性（SCA）对巴基斯坦纺织业出口绩效的影响。尽管是领先的制造业和出口业之一，但只有少数现存的关于纺织业的文献。设计/方法/方法使用现有文献编制结构化问卷。数据来自146名与巴基斯坦纺织业有关的受访者。在确保为本研究收集的数据的可靠性和有效性后，使用结构方程模型对假设进行了测试。这项研究为出口导向型企业提供了一些重要的见解。国际创业导向和国内竞争是企业敏捷性的关键驱动因素。这项研究证实，SCA对巴基斯坦纺织业在国际市场上不断提升的出口业绩具有重大影响。独创性/价值据作者所知，为本研究开发的理论框架是独创的，来源于现存文献。在发展中国家背景下对理论模型进行实证检验的结果为知识体系提供了新的信息。
