Abstract

PurposeThis paper aims to examine how interfirm transactional and relational assets drive firm performance (FP) in digitally integrated supply chains.Design/methodology/approachThe authors combine the Transaction Cost Economics (TCE) and Relational Exchange Theory (RET) frameworks to hypothesize that FP will be a function of Asset Specificity (AS), Digital Technology Usage (DTU) and Collaborative Information Sharing (CIS). In addition, the authors hypothesize that Supply Chain Integration (SCI) will partially mediate the effect of DTU and fully mediate the impact of AS and CIS on FP. A cross-sectional survey of supply chain managers is used to test the hypotheses.FindingsFindings indicate that specific investments in digitally integrated supply chains would increase FP. In addition, SCI fully mediates the relationships between AS and FP and CIS and FP, while SCI partially mediates the influence of DTU on FP.Practical implicationsManagers could strategically engage in the technologies that effectively fit within the firm’s supply chain strategies and seek to develop a pragmatic expertise that enables the effective use of technology in a comprehensive setting.Originality/valueThe study enriches the extant literature by incorporating TCE and RET as contradictory viewpoints on AS and investigating how transactional and relational assets affect FP in digitally integrated supply chains.

数字化集成供应链中的企业绩效:交易成本经济学与关系交换理论的结合视角

本文旨在研究企业间的交易和关系资产如何在数字集成供应链中驱动企业绩效(FP)。作者将交易成本经济学(TCE)和关系交换理论(RET)框架结合起来，假设FP将是资产专用性(AS)、数字技术使用(DTU)和协同信息共享(CIS)的函数。此外，作者假设供应链整合(SCI)将部分中介DTU的影响，并完全中介AS和CIS对FP的影响。通过对供应链管理人员的横断面调查来检验这些假设。研究结果表明，对数字集成供应链的具体投资将增加FP。此外，SCI完全介导AS与FP、CIS与FP之间的关系，SCI部分介导DTU对FP的影响。实际意义管理人员可以战略性地参与有效地适应公司供应链战略的技术，并寻求发展一种实用的专业知识，从而能够在全面的环境中有效地使用技术。原创性/价值本研究将TCE和RET作为as的矛盾观点，并调查了数字集成供应链中的交易性和关系型资产如何影响FP，从而丰富了现有文献。
