摘要

摘要采用供应链管理最佳实践(SCMBP)对组织的有益影响有据可查。然而,现有文献中对中小企业,特别是欠发达/发展中经济体的中小企业的类似研究相对较少。尽管中小企业在刺激南非等发展中经济体的经济增长和竞争力方面发挥着有据可查的作用,但情况依然如此。本实证研究采用了407家随机选择的南非中小企业,调查了南非中小企业的SCMBP、供应链敏捷性、风险管理和供应链绩效之间的关系。据我们所知,这是针对非洲新兴经济体进行的最广泛的实证研究,也是唯一一项研究这些供应链问题之间关系的研究。结构方程建模表明,采用SCMBP可以预测更好的供应链绩效。这清楚地强调了采用SCMBP的重要性,即使对于欠发达/发展中经济体的中小企业也是如此。

Supply chain management and organizational performance: Evidence from SMEs in South Africa
ABSTRACT The salutary impact of adopting supply chain management best practices (SCMBPs) on organizations is well documented. However, similar studies on small and medium enterprises (SMEs), especially in underdeveloped/developing economies are relatively scant in the extant literature. This is despite the well- documented role of SMEs in stimulating economic growth and competitiveness in developing economies such as South Africa. This empirical study employed a total of 407 randomly selected South African SMEs to investigate the relationships between SCMBPs, supply chain agility, risk management and supply chain performance in South African SMEs. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the most extensive empirical study on the subject undertaken for an emerging economy in Africa and the only one that studies the relationships between these supply chain issues. Structural equation modeling indicated that the adoption of SCMBPs predicted better supply chain performance. This clearly underscores the importance of SCMBPs adoption, even for SMEs in an underdeveloped/developing economy.

期刊介绍: The beginning of the Twenty First Century has witnessed Africa’s rise and progress as one of the fastest growing and most promising regions of the world. At the same time, serious challenges remain. To sustain and speed up momentum, avoid reversal, and deal effectively with emerging challenges and opportunities, Africa needs better management scholarship, education and practice. The purpose of the Africa Journal of Management (AJOM) is to advance management theory, research, education, practice and service in Africa by promoting the production and dissemination of high quality and relevant manuscripts. AJOM is committed to publishing original, rigorous, scholarly empirical and theoretical research papers, which demonstrate clear understanding of the management literature and draw on Africa’s local indigenous knowledge, wisdom and current realities. As the first scholarly journal of the Africa Academy of Management (AFAM), AJOM gives voice to all those who are committed to advancing management scholarship, education and practice in or about Africa, for the benefit of all of Africa. AJOM welcomes manuscripts that develop, test, replicate or validate management theories, tools and methods with Africa as the starting point. The journal is open to a wide range of quality, evidence-based methodological approaches and methods that “link” “Western” management theories with Africa’s indigenous knowledge systems, methods and practice. We are particularly interested in manuscripts which address Africa’s most important development needs, challenges and opportunities as well as the big management questions of the day. We are interested in research papers which address issues of ethical conduct in different African settings.
