Supply chain integration is widely used by both practitioners and researchers because of its essential role in enhancing the competitive advantage of the supply chain. Organizational competences such as relational competence and information technology (IT) competence have been recognized as factors influencing the promotion of supply chain integration to obtain supply chain performance. This paper extends the stream of research on supply chain management by systematically identifying the antecedents and consequences of supply chain integration between supply chain partners. The results indicate that relational competence and IT competence in the supply chain were positively related to supply chain integration. Information exchange was directly related to supply chain performance. In addition, it had a positive impact on the relationship between organizational competences and supply chain performance through its positive effect on supply chain integration. The results provide strong support for the notion that information exchange and supply chain integration enhance supply chain performance and have important theoretical and practical implications.

Supply chain integration is widely used by both practitioners and researchers, because of an essential role to enhance competitive advantage in supply chain. Organizational competences, such as relational competence(RC) and information technology (IT) competence, have been recognized as influencing factors to promote supply chain integration (SCI) for obtaining supply chain performance. In this paper, we intend to extend the stream of research in supply chain management (SCM) by systematically identifying the antecedents and consequences of supply chain integration between supply chain partners. We empirically tested the research model using data collected from senior managers of 122 manufacturing firms in South Korea. The results indicate that relational competence and IT competence in supply chain are positively related to supply chain integration. Information exchange is directly related to supply chain performance, Also, it has the positive impact between organizational competences and supply chain performance through its positive effect on supply chain integration. Our results provide strong support for the notion of information exchange and supply chain integration to enhance supply chain performance. Implications for future research and practice are offered.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the precedence of RTE of environment uncertainty, supply chain orientation, market orientation and RTE capacity of agility, visibility, forecasting ability, information system, and supply chain performance and the analysis of the difference in perceptions of RTE competence and RTE precedence factor according to the type of supply chain, size of company (sales and employees), location on the supply chain. As a result of analyzing the relation between RTE precedent, RTE competence, and supply chain performance, RTE precedent has a significant positive effect on RTE competence and RTE competence has a positive (+) significant effect on supply chain performance. And as a result of analyzing the differences according to the type of supply chain, the RTE precedent factor and the RTE competence level of the companies constituting the responsive supply chain were high. In addition, analysis of perception difference according to sales and employee size shows that the higher the sales and the larger the employees, the higher the perceived level of RTE precedent and RTE competence. Finally, there was no difference in the perception level of RTE competence and RTE precedent factor by analyzing the difference according to the position on the supply chain. The results of this study provide the following information to companies. The RTE predecessor affects the enhancement of the RTE capacity and suggests that raising the RTE capacity can lead to improved supply chain performance. It is suggested that the more responsive supply chain is interested in raising the RTE capacity, and the larger the size of the firm, the more interested in improving the RTE capacity. Therefore, SMEs need to be supported and interested in order to enhance the capacity of the entire supply chain. 본 연구는 환경 불확실성, 공급사슬지향성, 시장지향성의 RTE 선행요인과 민첩성, 가시성, 예측능력, 정보시스템의 RTE 역량, 공급사슬 성과 간의 관계 및 공급사슬 유형, 기업규모(매출액과 종업원), 공급사슬 상의 위치에 따른 RTE 선행요인, RTE 역량의 지각 차이를 분석하는 것이다. 먼저 RTE 선행요인과 RTE 역량, RTE 역량과 공급사슬 성과 간의 관계를 분석한 결과 RTE 선행요인은 RTE 역량에 정(+)의 유의한 영향을 미치며, RTE 역량은 공급사슬 성과에 정(+)의 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 검정되었다. 그리고 공급사슬 유형에 따른 차이를 분석한 결과 반응적 공급사슬을 구성한 기업들의 RTE 선행요인과 RTE 역량의 지각 수준이 높게 나타났다. 또한 매출액과 종업원 규모에 따른 지각 차이를 분석한 결과 매출액과 종업원의 규모가 큰 기업일수록 RTE 선행요인과 RTE 역량의 지각 수준이 높게 나타났다. 마지막으로 공급사슬 상의 위치에 따른 차이를 분석한 결과 RTE 선행요인과 RTE 역량의 지각 수준의 차이는 없었다. 이러한 연구결과는 기업들에게 다음과 같은 내용을 제시한다. RTE 선행요인은 RTE 역량 제고에 영향을 미치며, RTE 역량의 제고는 공급사슬 성과의 제고로 이어질 수 있다는 것을 제시한다. 그리고 반응적 공급사슬 일수록 RTE 역량의 제고에 관심이 높고, 기업의 규모가 클수록 RTE 역량의 제고에 관심이 높다는 것을 제시한다. 따라서 전체 공급사슬의 역량의 제고를 위하여 중소기업들에 대한 지원과 관심이 요구된다.

This study analyzes the overall relationship structure between agility, robustness, and supply chain performance as supply chain risk response and supply chain resilience in response to possible risks in the supply chain. To confirm this, survey data were collected for domestic manufacturing companies, and finally 134 survey data were used for the study. The reliability and validity of the research items were confirmed through statistical processing of the questionnaire data, and the research hypotheses were tested using the path analysis method using the research items satisfying them. The test results of the research hypothesis can be summarized as follows. As a result of testing hypothesis H1, it was tested that supply risk response, operational risk response, and network risk response had a significant positive effect on agility. In addition, environmental risk response was tested to have a positive effect on agility at a conservative level (p<0.1 or less), and demand risk response had a positive effect on agility, but was not significant. As a result of testing hypothesis H2, it was tested that supply risk response, demand risk response, operational risk response, and network risk response had a significant positive effect on robustness. However, the environmental risk response had a positive effect on robustness, but was not significant. As a test of hypothesis H3, agility was tested to have a significant positive effect on supply chain performance, and as a test of hypothesis H4, robustness was also tested to have a significant positive effect on supply chain performance. As a result of the testing of the research hypothesis, risks that may occur in the supply chain are classified into five types with reference to previous studies. Among these risks, activities that respond to the rest of the risks excluding environmental risk response are the resilience of the supply chain, which is agility and robustness It has a significant positive effect in most cases, and suggests that agility and robustness as supply chain resilience can lead to improvement in supply chain performance.

COMPETITIVE SUPPLY CHAINS: AN INSIGHT INTO THE LUXURY INDUSTRY

Simone Guercini,Annalisa Tunisini 글로벌지식마케팅경영학회 2015 Global Fashion Management Conference Vol.2015 No.06

The paper supports the idea that competition is nowadays played among supply chains rather than among companies. The competitive action has been mainly analyzed as a single actor' strategy, looking for gaining a competitive advantage over competitors (Porter, 2008). The competitive advantage is connected to distinctive resources and capabilities owned and/or controlled by the single actor and, especially, to how a company is capable to combine and connect such resources and capabilities reaching a distinctive positioning (Grant, 1991). By re-defining the most traditional view, Porter underlines how strategy has to look for uniqueness rather than to the search for being better than others in the market (Porter, 1996). Following such a view, scholars have addressed their attention to identify new sources of differential advantage, based on a at least temporary uniqueness. Such new sources mostly rely on intangible issues and on the capability to perform more efficiently and effectively market-driven processes (Day, 1994). By shifting his view from tangible to intangible issues, from products to processes, literature has focalized on the company's network relationships as fundamental sources of differential advantage (Hakansson, Snehota, 1989; Dyer, Singh, 1998). The structure and dynamics of a company's business relationships, as well as the company's relational capabilities can sensibly make the difference between one company's performance and another's in the eye of the customer. Processes of value creation and delivery capable to meet customer expectations are only in part referred to activities performed by a single supplier company. Rather, they are connected to a number of companies that interact and connect their resources and capabilities in supply chains' contexts (Christopher, 2012; Cox, Lamming 1995). The customer satisfaction (or dissatisfaction) can be addressed to a single supplier, notably the branded company that directly interfaces with the customer but it is strongly connected to how the branded company's supply chain has been able to mobilize resources, connect activities and exchange information. (Dyer, 1996; Gadde et al., 2010). In confronting and evaluating its perceptions in respect to two different brands a customer expresses his satisfaction (or not) towards the performance of two different supply chains (Hines, 2004). Taking a branded company, driving a supply chain (it is also known as strategic center or leader company), structuring, mobilizing and enabling effective and efficient business relationships with effective and efficient suppliers becomes the most important tool to gain market shares and keep customers satisfied. As network literature well explains, even if a company is a leader in a supply chain, business relationships with supplier companies can only be partially addressed and oriented, mobilized. (Ford, Hakansson, 2002). The general aim of this paper is to discuss the impact of the processes of contractual formalization in business networks on the competitiveness of the supply chains. More precisely, the paper focalizes on a new tool introduced by Italian government, named "Contratto di Rete" (Network Contract - NC)1, that can be also useful to reinforce, orient and develop efficient and effective supply chains. The NC is not simply a type of strategic business alliance as a joint venture or a consortium can be (Guercini and Woodside 2012). It is a flexible tool that companies may use and it is a legal framework within which a network of companies can experiment various opportunities to innovate and to be more competitive. The NC sustains SMEs' development and competitiveness, especially in an international context. The NC also represents a new way of response for Italian SMEs to the current economic crisis, and to the challenges posed by an increasingly globalized and competitive market. Small and medium enterprises represent a significant portion of the industry in most countries. This share is particularly relevant in the Italian reality. In Italy the weight very strong of the small business and the relative weakness of big business has recently been the focus of debate on the loss of competitiveness of the country's industrial system (Coltorti et al., 2013). Empirically, the paper studies the case of Gucci and its supply chains that have used the NC to reinforce and promote their positioning and their performance. In particular, sponsored by the Florentine brand of luxury and with the support of Confindustria Florence, three NC have been developed - P.re.Gi. , Almax and Fair – among the companies of three supply chains of small leather goods , bags and luggage . Each of the three networks includes companies that provide the complete production cycle, from cutting the skin and in one case even tanning to the final packaging of the object . The idea behind the signing of the “Contratto di rete” is come together to promote the transfer of innovation, knowledge transfer, know -how and training, but also to make economies of scale, improve access to credit, streamline costs and streamlining the supply chain, to ensure improved transparency in the flow of marginalization by the leader until the last sub-contractor. In each of the three networks, the parent company is different from Gucci that is left out of the contract. But, most interesting, Gucci will play the role of facilitator, subject to address and exchange of best practices, support and advice in the organizational, technological, financial and training issues. By studying the three NC, the paper wants to emphasize the most important issues both supporting and limiting the action of supply chains as competitive sets. Based on our preliminary study of these Network Contracts, made possible by the availability of a large secondary material and by the research conducted by the authors both on the new legislative tool leading to formalized networks and on the business networks spread since long-term in the leather industry, we formulate some propositions which can be tested as hypothesis or considered as alternatives explanations of the possible role played by the NC to support the competitiveness of companies and supply chains. The study of the Network Contract must take into account with attention to different layers it may impact and influence the competitiveness of the supply chains. At a first layer, it can be a tool of survival of present existing competitive ability and/or supporting the development of new capabilities. One aspect not mutually exclusive but complement the other. It can, however, be interesting to see logic sub-standing the formalization of existing networks and which are the objectives present in the declared intentions as well as those emerging from the observation of the behavior of the actors involved. You may recognize different levels of goal through the process of formalization. A first objective is linked to the fact that the importance of business networks makes them subject to specific policy of public policy makers. This makes the process of formalization important and useful for access policies to support networks. In this sense, a first proposition can be the following: P1. The network contract represents a tool of formalization of existing business networks that allows first to make visible, perceptible such structures and enabling policy makers to support them through appropriate policies to support their growth or survival. At a second layer, the formalization of existing networks can have organizational impacts. The recognition of a strategic center within the network, the formal creation of central coordination unit, or at least the existence of roles and shared resources can also substantially initiating organizational changes that make the network an entity able to access to larger economies and critical mass in respect to individual companies. The contractual formalization can produce effects on the roles of the individual actors involved and determine a different conduct of trials. This can allow the achievement of economies, the achievement of critical mass to trigger new initiatives, to realize innovations. Where networks emerge from declining districts the depletion of external economies can be a way to internalizing in formalized networks a part of the resources as an answer to the crisis of the external district. NC can thus support companies to benefit from the shift from external economies to internal “networks” economies In this sense, a second proposition can be the following: P2. The formalization through contracts in business networks has organizational effects that result in new processes and methods of use of the resources that can affect the operation of the business network and generate economies. At a third layer, in addition to affecting the relationship between the companies and the policy makers as well as the organizational processes in the business network, the formalization by NC can have effects on the contents of the strategy implemented by the firms involved and implemented by the whole chain. Particularly in the luxury sector competition among supply chains assumes importance in terms of exclusivity and the level of quality of the offered products. The contents of the strategy have systematically need to take account of the supply chains. This pushes systematically luxury brands (defined as actors) to search for forms of vertical control through ownership (acquisition of suppliers) and through contracts (contracts for exclusive supply). Consider the role of supply chain strategies related to issues such as: (1) ecological sustainability and social sustainability of productions from luxury brands; (2) country of origin and country of product design on which is affixed the company logo; (3) traceability and guarantees associated with the use of branded products etc. In this sense, a third proposition can be the following: P3. The formalization of contracts in business networks has effect on the strategies declared and / or emerging from the behavior of the actors, both in terms of content and dynamics in the implementation. The paper, through an in-depth analysis of the three networks connected to the Gucci’s supply chain, wants to test the hypotheses corresponding to the three propositions formulated above making a comparison between the supply networks before and after the formalization of the business relationships by the Network Contract. The paper is structured as follows: in the first section the paper emphasizes the shift from a view of competition among companies to competition among supply chains and stresses major problems emerging in supply network dynamics. It then focalizes on the NC tool and its characteristics that can support supply network dynamics. The paper thus focuses on the three networks connected to the brand Gucci. In the final section, the paper summarizes the three mail levels of impact that the NC may have on the supply chains’ competitiveness: the supportive level, the organizational level and the strategic level. A comparison between the main issues affecting supply chains competitiveness in case of their formalized or not-formalized networks structure let draw final conclusions are on the role of Network contracts as positive and negative promoter on supply chains competitiveness.

This study is conducted to confirm the structural impact of supply chain visibility on supply chain performance by securing supply chain flexibility. For this purpose, a study model is established for the relationship of each variable, and the corresponding hypotheses are established and verified statistically. For verification, this study conduct a survey of domestic manufacturers and analysis the responses collected as SPSS 18.0 and AMOS 18.0. Structural equation model is used to verify the adequacy of the structural model and to prove the causal relationship among supply chain visibility, supply chain flexibility, and supply chain performance. As a result, inter and external visibility of supply chain is found to have a significant impact on securing supply chain visibility, and supply chain flexibility is found to be an important factor in improving supply chain performance. The results of this study show the importance of securing supply chain visibility in order to obtain differentiated competitive advantage in highly uncertain environments, thus providing a strategic direction for establishing an effective supply chain. This study has the following academic implications. First, this study presented structural causation of supply chain visibility, supply chain flexibility, and supply chain performance. Existing studies focus on presenting key success factors related to the establishment of supply chains. But in this study, I look at and present in terms of network theory how to differentiate from existing research to improve supply chain capabilities. Second, the importance of supply chain visibility is presented as a way to secure supply chain flexibility to cope with rapidly changing business environment. Through this, the importance of adjusting and improving the supply chain structure based on the collection and utilization of internal and external information is identified. Finally, in the relationship between supply chain visibility and supply chain performance, it is possible to provide practical implications for ensuring effective flexibility by validating the effect of the supply chain flexibility. 본 연구는 공급사슬 가시성이 공급사슬 유연성 확보를 통해 공급사슬 성과에 미치는 구조적 영향 관계를 실증적으로 검증하기 위하여 진행되었다. 이를 위하여 각 변수들의 관계에 대한 연구 모형을 수립하고, 이를 바탕으로 해당 가설을 수립하여 통계적으로 검증하였다. 검증을 위해 본 연구는 국내 제조 기업을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하고, 수집된 응답을 SPSS 180과 AMOS 180.0으로 분석하였다. 구조 방정식 모형을 통해 구조적 모형의 적합도를 확인하고 공급사슬 가시성, 공급사슬 유연성, 공금사슬 성과의 인과적 관계를 실증적으로 검증하였다. 결과적으로 공급사슬 내·외부 가시성은 공급사슬 유연성 확보에 중요한 영향을 미치는 것으로 파악되었으며, 공급사슬 유연성은 공급사슬 성과 향상을 위해 중요한 요인임을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 높은 불확실성의 환경에서 차별화된 경쟁 우위를 차지하기 위해 공급사슬 가시성 확보의 중요성을 제시함으로써, 효과적 공급사슬 구축에 대한 전략적·실무적 방향을 제시하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 다음과 같은 학문적 시사점을 지니고 있다. 첫째, 본 연구는 공급사슬 가시성, 공급사슬 유연성, 공급사슬 성과의 구조적 인과 관계를 제시하였다. 기존의 연구에서 공급사슬 구축과 관련하여 주요 성공 요인들을 제시하는 것에 집중한 것과 차별화하여 공급사슬 역량 향상을 위한 실행 방안을 네트워크 이론 관점에서 살펴보고 제시하였다. 둘째, 빠르게 변화하는 경영 환경에 대응하기 위해 공급사슬 유연성을 확보 할 수 있는 방안으로써 공급사슬 가시성의 중요성을 제시하였다. 내·외부 정보의 수집 및 활용을 통해 공급사슬의 구조를 조정하고 개선하는 것의 중요성을 확인하였다. 마지막으로 공급사슬 가시성과 공급사슬 성과의 관계에 있어 공급사슬 유연성의 매개효과를 실증적으로 검증함으로써 효과적인 유연성 확보를 위한 실무적 함의를 제시할 수 있다.

공급자의 기회주의와 자산특유성이 신제품 개발 성과에 미치는 영향: 공급사슬통합의 매개효과

김현정 공주대학교 KNU 기업경영연구소 2022 기업경영리뷰 Vol.13 No.4

Supply chain management is drawing attention as an important issue in academia and industry as supply of raw materials and parts is disrupted recently. Various previous studies have sought ways to maximize supply chain performance through supply chain integration between buyers and suppliers. However, existing studies focused on the relationship between supply chain integration and firm performance, and few studies looked at both opportunism and asset specificity of suppliers. Therefore, this study empirically analyzed the effects of sup- plier opportunism and asset specificity on new product development performance through supply chain integra- tion. The analysis results are as follows. Looking at the direct effects of supplier opportunism and asset specificity on supply chain integration and new product development performance, opportunism significantly reduced sup- ply chain integration but had no significant effect on new product development performance. Asset specificity significantly increased both supply chain integration and new product development performance. Supply chain integration was found to significantly improve new product development performance. In addition, the indirect effects of supplier opportunism and asset specificity on new product development performance through supply chain integration were analyzed. As a result, supply chain integration did not mediate the relationship between opportunism and new product development performance, but partially mediated the relationship between asset specificity and new product development performance. This study is differentiated from previous studies that focused on the buyer, a company leading the supply chain management, despite the importance of the role of the supplier in improving the performance of the sup- ply chain. In addition, it has theoretical implications of paying attention to the irrationality of suppliers and sup- porting the relational exchange theory. Lastly, this study has practical implications, suggesting that buyers should be encouraged to reduce the opportunism of suppliers and secure relationship-specific assets necessary for transactions with the company in order to improve the new product development performance. 최근 원재료 및 부품의 공급에 차질이 생기면서 공급사슬관리가 학계와 산업계에서 중요한 이슈로 주목받고 있다. 다양한 선행연구들은 구매자와 공급자 간의 공급사슬통합을 통해 공급사슬의 성과를 극대화할 수 있는 방안을 모색해왔다. 그러나 기존 연구들은 공급사슬통합과 기업 성과 간의 관계에 초점을 맞춰서 분석하였고, 공급자의 기회주의와 자산특유성을 함께 살펴본 연구는 거의 없다. 따라서 이 연구는 공급자의 기회주의와 자산특유성이 공급사슬통합을 매개로 하여 신제품 개발 성과에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 분석하였다. 분석 결과를 살펴보면 다음과 같다. 공급자의 기회주의와 자산특유성이 공급사슬통합과 신제품 개발 성과에 미치는 직접적인 효과를 살펴보면, 기회주의는 공급사슬통합을 유의하게 감소시키지만 신제품 개발 성과에는 유의한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 자산특유성은 공급사슬통합과 신제품 개발 성과 모두를 유의하게 증가시켰다. 공급사슬통합은 신제품 개발 성과를 유의하게 향상시키는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 공급자의 기회주의와 자산특유성이 공급사슬통합을 통해 신제품 개발 성과에 미치는 간접적인 효과를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 공급사슬통합은 기회주의와 신제품 개발 성과 간의 관계를 매개하지 않았지만, 자산특유성과 신제품 개발 성과 간의 관계를 부분적으로 매개하였다. 이 연구는 공급사슬의 성과를 향상시키기 위해서는 공급자의 역할이 중요한데도 불구하고 공급사슬관리를 주도하는 기업인 구매자에게 초점을 맞췄던 선행연구들과 차별화된다. 또한 공급자의 비합리성에 주목하고 관계적교환 이론을 지지한다는 학술적인 시사점을 지닌다. 마지막으로 본 연구는 구매자에게 신제품 개발 성과를 향상시키기 위해서는 공급자의 기회주의를 줄이고 자사와의 거래에 필요한 관계특유자산을 확보하도록 유도해야 함을 제안했다는 실무적인 시사점을 지닌다.

공급사슬전략 수립 및 실행이 협력성과에 미치는 영향: 신뢰와 몰입의 조절효과

김성홍 한국기업경영학회 2012 기업경영연구 Vol.19 No.4

Supply chain management (SCM) has become one of the most popular approaches to enhance the competitive advantage of organizations today. Over the last decade, there has emerged a view that recognizes that the route to competitive advantage lies through the supply chain. Therefore firms began to recognize that it is not enough to improve efficiency and effectiveness only within their organizations because competition is no longer between organizations, but among supply chains. Effective SCM has become a potentially valuable way of securing competitive advantage and improving organizational performance. Several authors has proposed that firms need to focus not only their corporate strategy but also supply chain strategy and align it towards the product/market. In other words, firms should form the most suitable supply chain strategy for a certain market context. On the other hand, some authors has suggested a combinative supply chain strategy since only one strategy is inadequate to support firms competing in a hyper-competitive and dynamic environment. But empirical investigations of this strategy within SCM performance are scant. There is agreement among researchers that to achieve better performance and competitive advantage, firms must not only have appropriate strategies but they must also ensure that such strategies are aligned with their management control system. Numerous academic research has conducted on the relationships among supply chain strategy, organization structure, strategy implement, and firm performance. But inconclusive results are yielded yet. This study is (1)to conceptualize an combinative strategy within the context of a manufacturer’s supply chain strategy (2)to develope the supply chain implementation model that consist of supply chain strategy, collaboration practices, and collaboration performances appling the strategy-implementation model and manufacturing capacity model (3)to investigate the influence of supply chain strategy on inter-firm collaboration and its performance (4)to test the moderating effects of trust and commitment on the relationships between collaboration practices and its performances. Drawing upon literature review in SCM, supply chain strategy is conceptualized and the measurement items of supply chain strategy, collaboration practices, and collaboration performance are developed. Survey-based data for the study was collected from 120 Korea manufacturers, and the measurement scales were tested and validated using exploratory factor analysis, cluster analysis, discriminant analysis, second-order factor analysis, and structural equation modeling. The results are as follows. First, combinative supply chain strategy is a multidimensional, second-order construct reflected by efficiency, agility, and alignment. Second, there are positive direct relationships between supply chain strategy and collaboration practice, collaboration practice and its performance. Third, trust and commitment have moderating effects in relationship between supply chain strategy and collaboration practice. Finally, the relationship of supply chain strategy to collaboration performance was indirect, through collaboration practice; i.e., collaboration practice was found to fully mediate the relationship between supply chain strategy and collaboration performance. This study uses a component-wise approach to examine a mechanism where three components of supply chain strategy contribute to collaboration performances by a mediating effect of collaboration practices. Several implications to academic research and managerial can be brought up based on the analysis results discussed so far. But, this study has several limitations. Firstly, there was some redundancy in measurement items of supply chain strategy. Secondly, the data used in this study were based on respondents’ subjective evaluation as the survey items rather than actual actions in organization. Lastly, sample size is very small, only 120 Korea ... SCM은 1990년대 중반에 관심을 받기 시작하여 21세기 기업경쟁력을 향상시키기 위한 중요한 운영전략으로 주목받아왔다. 현재까지 효율성, 민첩성, 적응성, 정렬성 등 다양한 SC전략이 개발되어왔고, 이들 간 상충관계와 보완관계에 대한 주장이 공존하고 있다. 한편, SCM을 효과적으로 활용하기 위해서는 SC전략 수립뿐만 아니라 이러한 전략을 효율적으로 실행할 수 있는 방안이 필요하다는 인식에 따라 전략수립, 전략실행, 기업성과의 관계에 대한 다양한 연구가 시도되어왔지만 확실한 결론을 도출하지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 SC전략의 개념을 정의하고, SC전략이 기업 간 협력실행 및 협력성과에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 것이다. SCM에 대한 문헌연구를 기초로 SC전략을 개념화하고 SC전략, 협력실행, 협력성과에 대한 측정척도를 개발 하였다. 실증분석을 위한 조사 자료는 120개 한국 제조업체로부터 수집하였다. SC전략 측정항목에 대해 탐색적 요인분석, 군집분석, 판별분석, 2차 요인 분석을 활용하여 신뢰성과 타당성을 검증하였다. 그리고 구조방정식 모델을 활용하여 SC전략, 협력실행, 협력성과의 인과관계를 분석하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, SC전략은 다차원적이며 효율성, 민첩성, 정렬성으로 구성된 2차 요인이다. 둘째, SC전략과 협력실행, 협력 실행과 협력성과 간에는 유의한 정의 관계가 존재한다. 셋째, 신뢰와 몰입은 SC전략과 협력실행 간 관계를 유의하게 조절한다. 마지막으로 SC전략은 협력성과에 직접적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것이 아니라 협력 실행을 통해 간접적으로 유의한 영향을 미친다. 즉, 협력실행은 SC전략과 협력성과의 관계를 완전 매개한다

In modern a business environment, competition is no longer between firms, but between supply chains. The supply chain has complex and dynamic features. It is necessary to analyze the structured influence of strategy, structure, and performance in the supply chain environment. This study investigates the supply chain vision sharing with supply chain partners to affect supply chain information integration, agility, and strategic supply chain performance. Data was collected from supply chain executives of 116 Korea manufacturing firms based on the survey. This study shows four main results. First, in the supply chain environment, supply chain vision sharing has a significant impact on the supply chain information integration. Second, supply chain information integration(information technology, information sharing) has a positive effect on supply chain agility. Third, the results indicate that enhanced supply chain agility has positive impacts on the supply chain strategic performance. Finally, this research contributes to theory development and managerial practice by exploring the complex relationship between supply chain vision sharing, supply chain information integration, supply chain agility, and strategic performance.

공급사슬 통합이 실시간 기업(RTE) 역량과 공급사슬 성과에 미치는 영향

서영복,박찬권 한국중소기업학회 2017 中小企業硏究 Vol.39 No.4

Most of the previous researches on supply chain integration have been based on the assumption that supply chain integration affects supply chain performance. Therefore, it is limited to study whether supply chain integration enhances the capabilities of the supply chain and can improve the supply chain performance through the enhancement of such capabilities. Therefore, this study is to investigate the relationship between supply chain integration and supply chain performance in terms of RTE capability and supply chain performance. The hypotheses between these items were established and the results were as follows. First, supply chain integration shows a positive (+) significant effect on RTE capacity, and RTE competency has a positive (+) significant effect on supply chain performance. Therefore, it has been confirmed that raising the level of supply chain integration can raise the level of RTE capability and further improve the supply chain performance. Therefore, it is important to show the importance of supply chain integration to the individual companies constituting the supply chain. In order to enhance the RTE capacity, it is important to integrate the supply chain, and to clarify what capacity of the supply chain should be improved for companies. 이제까지 공급사슬 통합에 대한 선행연구들의 대부분은 공급사슬 통합이 공급사슬 성과에 영향을 미친다는 규범적인 연구들이 대부분이다. 따라서 공급사슬 통합이 어떠한 공급사슬의 역량을 제고시키며, 이러한 공급사슬 역량의 제고를 통하여 공급사슬 성과까지 제고시킬 수 있다는 연구는 제한적이다. 그러므로 본 연구는 공급사슬 통합과 공급사슬의 동적 역량 관점에서의 RTE 역량, 공급사슬 성과 간의 관계를 규명하는 것이다. 이들 연구항목 간의 연구가설을 수립하고 검정을 시행한 결과는 다음과 같다. 먼저 공급사슬 통합은 RTE 역량에 대부분 정(+)의 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나며, RTE 역량은 공급사슬 성과에 대부분 정(+)의 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 검증되었다. 따라서 공급사슬 통합 수준의 제고는 RTE 역량의 수준을 제고시킬 수 있으며, 나아가 공급사슬 성과도 제고시킬 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 그러므로 공급사슬을 구성하고 있는 개별기업들에게 공급사슬 통합의 중요성을 제시하며, RTE의 역량 제고를 위해서는 공급사슬 통합이 중요하고, 이를 통해 공급사슬 성과의 제고도 달성할 수 있다는 것을 확인하여, 제한된 자원을 가지고 있는 기업들에게 공급사슬의 어떠한 역량을 제고시켜야 하는가를 명확하게 규명하였다.
