Abstract
This paper empirically confirmed a positive relationship between Supply Chain Management (SCM) and operational performance. A measurement model of the SCM construct was developed. Operational performance was conceptualized using competitive priorities literature with four dimensions: cost, quality, flexibility and delivery. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze a sample of 103 companies, in Brazil. Results showed positive effects of SCM on all performance dimensions, offering further support for the cumulative capabilities perspective. We also found evidence of an operational competence construct mediating the effect of SCM on performance, supported conceptually by the resource-based and relational views of strategy.
Highlights
The Supply Chain Management (SCM) debate is central to the Operations Management field as demonstrated by the special issues of both Production and Operations Management Journal (POM) and International Journal of Operations & Production Management (IJOPM), in 2006, and the Journal of Operations Management (JOM), in 2007
This study is a contribution to the growing research stream trying to clarify the impact of supply chain management on performance
We explored the impact of the supply chain management as a multidimensional construct on different competitive priorities
Summary
The Supply Chain Management (SCM) debate is central to the Operations Management field as demonstrated by the special issues of both Production and Operations Management Journal (POM) and International Journal of Operations & Production Management (IJOPM), in 2006, and the Journal of Operations Management (JOM), in 2007. It faces, two important and related challenges: its theoretical development is still at early stages and it lacks full empirical evidence of its benefits. Most studies used nonprobabilistic samples, mainly of American and European companies, limiting generalization to emerging economies
