The Role of Collaborative Advantage for Analyzing the Effect of Supply Chain Collaboration on Firm Performance

Collaboration plays a critical role in a globalized, rapidly changing and competitive world, as the resources of an individual company are limited to compete with the challenges of the era. Supply chain collaboration is defined as a partnership process where two or more autonomous firms work closely to plan and execute supply chain operations towards common goals and mutual benefits. Supply chain collaboration results in collaborative advantage, the strategic benefits gained over competitors through supply chain partnering, and these both increase firm performance of the partners. In this research, the effect of supply chain collaboration on firm performance has been investigated by distributing a survey to Turkish companies which have been responded by 150. The role of collaborative advantage in this relation has also been measured. The results of the research suggest that there is a positive correlation between supply chain collaboration and collaborative advantage. The results also prove that supply chain collaboration positively affects firm performance. It is also proven that the mediator role of collaborative advantage on the effect of supply chain collaboration on firm performance is statistically significant

The Effect of Internal Information Management on Firm Performance, through Supplier Partnership and Sustainable SCM

This study aims to examine the effect of internal information management on firm performance with the mediating role of supplier partnership and sustainable supply chain management (SSCM). The study used the population 87 manufacturing companies domiciled in East Java of Indonesia. One respondent represents each company from the management level such as supervisor or manager. Of 87, 57 companies have completed the questionnaires, and the response rate is 65.50%. Data collection used a questionnaire designed with a five-item Likert scale. Data analysis used the partial least square technique with Smart-PLS software version 3.0 to examine the hypotheses. The finding revealed that six hypotheses are supported and two additional finding. Internal information management affects supplier partnership, SSCM, and firm performance directly. Supplier partnership influences SSCM and firm performance. SSCM influence firm performance. Two additional finding: internal information management mediate the effect of internal information management on the firm performance, and SSCM mediates the influence of internal information management on the firm performance. This study paves the way for the manager in improving firm performance in the context of supply chain management. This paper also makes several contributions to enriching the theory on supply chain management

The Individual, Network, and Collaborative Competencies, and Investment in Strategic Partnership as Antecedents of the Overall Performance of a Supply Chain Network

The use of information systems for logistics and supply chain management in South East Europe: Current status and future direction

This research aims to investigate the current status and future direction of the use of information systems for logistics and supply chain management (LSCM) in South East Europe. The objectives are threefold: (1) to identify major challenges and developments on the use of information systems for LSCM by enterprises, (2) to examine the actual level of satisfaction of current policy on LSCM, and (3) to reveal the actual need of enterprises in South East Europe on effective use of information systems for LSCM. Mixed methodology of literature review and questionnaire survey is adopted in this research. Data collected from 79 enterprises are analysed using descriptive analysis in SPSS. The findings suggest that enterprises in Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), Romania, and Serbia and Montenegro, face similar challenges but all are in different stages of developments of LSCM. Their use of information systems explains their heavy focus on supply chain partnership and weakness in demand chain partnership. Major findings suggest that companies and governments alike in that region do not seem to be ready for playing a significant and demanding role in global supply chains. Current deficiencies, including limited abilities in building valuable forward relations, weak strategic planning and organisation, and infrastructural problems, are major obstacles for fast development in LSCM. At the same time though, traces of changing mentalities do exist, setting the ground for improved performance and ultimately for a better position in global business

Role of Environmental Uncertainty in the Effect of Innovativeness and Sustainability in Supply Chain on a Company’s Performance

The acceleration of industrialization in parallel with the increasing world population has facilitated humanity’s use of natural resources in an extravagant, uncontrolled and even ruthless manner. Sustainability is a philosophy that aims to put an end to this tendency, ensure that these resources are used in a more controlled manner, and minimize, or if possible, eliminate damage on the nature. It is essential for organizations, especially export companies, to determine the maturity levels in sustainable supply chain approach and make the necessary improvements in order to achieve competitive advantage. As a result of digitalization, enterprises, which establish the right partnership relationship management scenarios create competitive advantages for themselves.  In this study, the importance of innovation even in an environment of uncertainty and the contribution of sustainable supply chain management on the exporter performance was analysed. The study is developed based on the question: “What is the role of environmental certainty or innovativeness in the relationship between sustainable supply chain management and the exporter company performance?”
