Development and Analysis of a Supply Chain Strategy Taxonomy
研究通过数值分类法将制造商按供应链能力分为三类战略组，并分析其与情境因素、竞争优先级和绩效的关系，发现战略组与竞争优先级无显著关联。
This research derives a numerical taxonomy that classifies manufacturers with similar combinations of supply chain (SC) capabilities into three SC Strategy Groups. This research also explores the relationship between the SC Strategy Groups and contextual factors, competitive priorities and firm performance. There are significant differences among the SC Strategy Groups for the location of the firm, the level of uncertainty, the competitiveness of the market and firm performance. Surprisingly, there is no relationship between the SC Strategy Groups and a firm's competitive priorities, indicating that firms are often not linking their SC strategy to their competitive strategy.
