Abstract

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the role of organizational and technological enablers and their arrangement and alignment with the external environment to facilitate supply chain integration (SCI), which consequently improves operational performance.Design/methodology/approachThe paper uses a structural equation modeling approach and the data from 307 manufacturing firms from the International Manufacturing Strategy Survey version VI for hypotheses testing.FindingsThe findings of the study reveal that (1) the alignment and particular arrangement of the sociotechnical organizational factors enable the SCI of a firm, (2) suitable organizational arrangements help in leveraging SCI under environmental pressures, and (3) SCI leverages the relationship between sociotechnical organizational factors and operational performance of the firm.Practical implicationsThis paper informs managers that SCI leverages the operational performance of firms under heightened environmental pressures. Developing suitable manufacturing technologies infrastructure followed by organizational practices aligned with the manufacturing technologies make it easier to realize SCI.Originality/valueThis study explores the interaction of technological, organizational, and environmental factors as driving and enabling factors that help achieve SCI. Firms that develop an open and collaborative environment and use communication and integrative technologies to complement their work practices better cope with external pressures. These modern forms of working and the use of technologies facilitate SCI and leverage it effectively to positively impact firm performance.
通过企业供应链整合考察技术-组织-环境框架对经营绩效的影响
本文的目的是研究组织和技术推动者的作用,以及它们与外部环境的安排和对齐,以促进供应链整合(SCI),从而提高运营绩效。设计/方法/方法本文采用结构方程建模方法,并使用国际制造业战略调查第六版中的307家制造企业的数据进行假设检验。研究结果表明:(1)社会技术组织因素的一致性和特定安排使企业的SCI得以实现;(2)适当的组织安排有助于在环境压力下利用SCI; (3) SCI利用了社会技术组织因素与企业经营绩效之间的关系。本文告诉管理者,SCI在环境压力加剧的情况下,会影响企业的经营绩效。开发合适的制造技术基础设施,遵循与制造技术一致的组织实践,使SCI更容易实现。原创性/价值本研究探讨了技术、组织和环境因素之间的相互作用,作为推动和促成SCI实现的因素。开发开放和协作环境并使用通信和综合技术来补充其工作实践的公司可以更好地应对外部压力。这些现代工作形式和技术的使用促进了SCI,并有效地利用它来积极影响公司绩效。

期刊介绍: Benchmarking is big news for companies committed to total quality programmes. Its enthusiastic reception by many prominent business figures has created high levels of interest in a technique which promises big rewards for co-operating partners. Yet, like total quality itself, it must be understood in its proper context, and implemented single mindedly if it is to be effective - this journal helps companies to decide if benchmarking is right for them, and shows them how to go about it successfully.
