Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the institutional and significant competences that have allowed organizations to employ supply chain management (SCM) practices, the practices of SCM and the benefits of SCM practices for both buyers and suppers.Design/methodology/approachA theoretical model (including hypotheses) has been proposed regarding antecedents, SCM practices and outcomes of SCM. Using purposive sampling method, data were collected from different manufacturing, distributing, wholesaling and retailing organizations. Collected data were analyzed in a principal component analysis and structural equation modeling, including confirmatory factor analysis, and path analysis.FindingsThe empirical results provided supportive evidences in favor of the hypotheses and theoretical arguments except one hypothesis. This study did not a find positive relationship between organizational compatibility and SCM practices. The study found relationships between mutual trust and SCM practices, communication and SCM practices, and cooperation and SCM practices, which were positive and significant. Again, the relationships between SCM practices and competitive advantages, and SCM practices and long-term orientation and growth were also positive and significant.Practical implicationsPractitioners could also use the findings to align SCM with business strategy and gain an insight for better utilization of the available resources and technology to perform better.Originality/valueThis study will provide guidance as to the preconditions that need to be in place in order for a company to implement SCM with its suppliers and customers. It will remind practitioners to stay focused on the ultimate goals of SCM – lower costs, increased customer value and satisfaction, and, ultimately, competitive advantage.
孟加拉国供应链管理的前因后果
本文的目的是调查允许组织采用供应链管理(SCM)实践的制度和重要能力,供应链管理的实践以及供应链管理实践对买方和供应商的好处。设计/方法论/方法已经提出了一个理论模型(包括假设),涉及供应链管理的前提、供应链管理实践和供应链管理的结果。采用有目的的抽样方法,从不同的制造、分销、批发和零售组织收集数据。对收集到的数据进行主成分分析和结构方程建模,包括验证性因子分析和通径分析。除了一个假设外,实证结果对假设和理论论点提供了支持性证据。本研究没有发现组织兼容性和供应链管理实践之间的正相关关系。研究发现,相互信任与供应链管理实践、沟通与供应链管理实践、合作与供应链管理实践之间存在着积极而显著的关系。同样,供应链管理实践与竞争优势之间的关系,以及供应链管理实践与长期定位和增长之间的关系也是积极和显著的。实践意义实践者还可以使用这些发现来将SCM与业务策略结合起来,并获得更好地利用可用资源和技术以更好地执行的洞察力。原创性/价值本研究将为公司对其供应商和客户实施供应链管理所需的先决条件提供指导。它将提醒实践者关注SCM的最终目标——降低成本,增加客户价值和满意度,以及最终的竞争优势。
