信任关系对IT匹配及信息共享的作用机理研究

构建了制造商与供应商间信任关系、IT匹配、信息共享、制造商运营绩效之间关系的理论模型。通过对广东省珠三角地区272家制造企业进行问卷调查,运用结构方程模型对提出的假设及概念模型进行检验。研究结果显示,能力信任对善意信任有着显著的正向影响;善意信任对信息共享、IT匹配有着显著的正向影响,但能力信任对信息共享、IT匹配的影响并不显著;IT匹配对信息共享和制造商运营绩效都有着显著的正向影响;信息共享对制造商运营绩效有着显著的正向影响。研究表明,企业不仅要通过加强对IT匹配的投资来改善信息共享及运营绩效,还要善于建立供应链伙伴间信任关系来提高信息共享及运营绩效水平。

供应链合作关系相关因素对协同的影响研究

从供应链关系形成的角度,建立了4个主要的度量因素沟通、信任、承诺和合作对供应链协同的影响顺序及相互关系的假设模型,应用结构方程模型的方法进行验证,其中协同效应以信息共享、同步决策和激励联盟作为评价指标。经过对163例制造行业供应链的研究,结果表明,在供应链关系形成过程中,相关企业是从沟通开始,建立相互间的信任后,企业双方承诺发展长远关系,从而产生合作行为,最终通过合作对协同效应产生正性影响。另外沟通和信任对协同运作的影响最为重要,合作的影响最为直接,而承诺对协同只有间接作用。     

供应链伙伴关系、信息共享与企业运营绩效关系

本文以广东省珠三角地区制造企业为调查对象,对供应链伙伴关系、信息共享与企业运营绩效之间关系进行研究.研究结果表明,供应链伙伴关系对信息共享存在显著的正向影响,即增强供应链伙伴关系将有助于提高企业之间信息共享水平;信息共享对企业运营绩效存在显著的正向影响;供应链伙伴关系不仅直接影响企业运营绩效,而且通过信息共享间接地影响到企业运营绩效.另外,我们还发现在供应链伙伴关系中的信任对信息共享与企业运营绩效均有非常显著的影响.本文研究结论可为我国制造企业实施供应链管理策略提供理论指导.     

企业内部利益相关者、资源承诺与绿色供应链管理绩效关系

控制方式、环境不确定性与供应链协同的关系研究

有效的控制方式是实现供应链协同的重要保障.以240家国内企业为研究对象,通过问卷调研的方式,对控制方式、环境不确定性和供应链协同之间的影响机理进行了实证研究.结果表明:结果控制和非正式控制对供应链协同具有正向影响作用,而行为控制对供应链协同的影响并不显著.随着环境不确定性程度的上升,结果控制、非正式控制对供应链协同的正向影响作用趋于下降,行为控制对供应链协同的影响结果不显著.在正式控制和非正式控制对供应链协同的交互作用中,结果控制和非正式控制为替代关系,而行为控制和非正式控制的互补关系没有得到数据支持.

威权领导对信息系统用户行为的影响研究

在信息系统实施情境下探讨威权领导对用户行为的作用机理,重点分析情感信任的中介作用和用户传统性的调节作用。选择信息系统终端用户及其直接主管作为研究对象,采用结构方程模型、层级回归等方法分析272套配对数据。研究结果表明:威权领导对用户接受有显著的负向影响,而对用户抵制有显著的正向影响;情感信任在威权领导与用户接受和用户抵制之间起到完全中介作用;用户传统性正向调节威权领导与用户接受之间的关系,用户传统性越高,威权领导与用户接受的负向关联越弱;用户传统性负向调节威权领导与用户抵制之间的关系,用户传统性越高,威权领导与用户抵制的正向关联越弱。     

The determinants of supply chain alliance performance: an empirical study

This paper assesses relationship characteristics in supply chain alliances and their effects on alliance performance in supply chains in the context of manufacturing firms drawing on the theory of social exchange and goal interdependence. The results from AVAS analysis show that relationship stability, trust of supplier, relational capital and commitment exert significant effects on the performance of supply chain alliances. These results offer implications for researchers examining the performance of supply chain alliances. Research limitation and future research are discussed.     

Effects of managerial ties and trust on supply chain information sharing and supplier opportunism

Managerial ties and trust are important factors in facilitating collaboration and reducing opportunistic behaviour. There is, however, a lack of empirical evidence on how these relational factors influence the sharing of information among supply chain partners. For example, do stronger managerial ties help to improve supply chain information sharing (SCIS) and reduce supplier opportunism? To what extent SCIS is influenced by managerial ties and trust? How do managerial ties interact with trust in influencing SCIS? Using data from 272 Chinese manufacturers, this paper examines the impact of managerial ties and trust on SCIS and supplier opportunism. The results show that, through trust managerial ties can significantly influence the extent of information sharing and the quality of the information shared. Managerial ties also have a direct impact on the extent of information sharing, but not on the quality of the information shared. The main implication for management practice is that the quality of the information shared – rather than the extent of information sharing – should be seen as the main leverage in reducing supplier opportunism.     

Influence of power and trust on the intention to adopt electronic supply chain management in China

Electronic supply chain management (eSCM) has become a popular Web-based seamless supply chain process. Given that Chinese firms are important parts of global supply chains, it is imperative to investigate factors that would affect eSCM adoption in China. In this study, we examine the impact of three power sources – non-mediated, coercive-mediated and reward-mediated power – on the three dimensions of trust – competence, goodwill and contractual – and their influence in turn on a firm’s eSCM adoption intention in China. We collected data through a survey of 131 manufacturing and service firms in China. Our results show that non-mediated power is positively associated with competence and goodwill trust but negatively related to contractual trust. Coercive-mediated power only negatively affects competence and goodwill trust. Reward-mediated power does not affect any type of trust significantly. The results also provide empirical support for the positive effects of competence and contractual trust on the intention to adopt eSCM. This paper contributes knowledge about the power–trust relationship in China from a supply chain perspective and presents a multi-dimensional explanation of the relationships between power, trust and intention to adopt eSCM.     

Performance measurement of cross-culture supply chain partnership: a case study in the Chinese automotive industry

This study explores a performance measurement system for a dynamic supply chain partnership in a cross-cultural context. An initial framework is constructed by reviewing the existing literature, followed by an in-depth case study in the Chinese automotive industry, where the framework is refined to address the multi-cultural setting. A performance measurement, system which includes the relationship strategy and operational measurement criteria for a supply chain partnership, has been developed. The relationship strategy contains elements of strategy orientation, management style, interdependence, mutual organisational characteristics and common goals. The operational measurement criteria consist of commitment, trust, communication behaviour, information sharing, participation decision, quality, production performance, delivery, cost, supplier strength, attitude, compromise and loyalty. The last three operational measurement criteria are found to be particularly relevant to the cross-cultural feature. While existing studies tend to focus on either specific measures or individual organisations, this paper for the first time proposes a comprehensive framework to measure the performance of supply chain partnerships. The cross-cultural perspective provides a further unique view on how a performance measurement system can be responsive to the dynamics in practice.
