A resource orchestration view of supply chain traceability and transparency bundles for competitive advantage
研究将供应链可追溯性与透明度视为相互关联的组织能力,通过模糊集定性比较分析发现,企业利用可追溯性提升财务绩效依赖于向利益相关者创造透明度感知,且企业规模和国际影响力影响这些能力的杠杆作用。
Abstract The literature has mostly examined supply chain (SC) traceability and SC transparency separately, ignoring the mutually constitutive relationship of these two related constructs. We draw on the resource orchestration theory and the causal complexity perspective to conceptualize and validate SC traceability and SC transparency as interrelated organizational capabilities that may mutually enhance or compensate each other for competitive advantage. We constructed an original sample from two sources to empirically test this conceptualization using fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). Our empirical results reveal that the ability of firms to leverage SC traceability for a high financial performance is contingent upon creating a transparency perception of SC with a wide range of stakeholders. Our results also identified the firm size and its international presence, as having a significant bearing on the ability of firms to leverage SC traceability and SC transparency capabilities for a competitive advantage.
