Build‐to‐order and just‐in‐time as predictors of applied supply chain knowledge and market performance
研究考察了按订单生产（BTO）和准时制（JIT）两种策略对应用供应链知识和市场绩效的影响，发现BTO通过下游客户知识应用提升市场绩效，而JIT虽影响上游供应商知识应用却未转化为市场绩效。
Abstract The research increases our understanding of a build‐to‐order supply chain (BOSC) by examining the effects of two distinct yet related strategies on applied supply chain knowledge and market performance: a build‐to‐order (BTO) and a just‐in‐time (JIT) strategy. The results show that a BTO strategy positively affects market performance through its influence on the application of supply chain knowledge downstream with customers. Although a JIT strategy does affect the upstream application of knowledge with suppliers, the latter does not predict market performance. Theoretical and managerial implications are presented.
