“…Van Donk and van der Vaart [34] also propose similar concepts of SCI. Thus, relationship management delivers the implementation-end of SCI, whilst SCI is the extent that organisations are integrated with their supply chain [35].…”

This study applies the research of perception gap analysis to supply chain integration and develops a generic model, the 3-Level Gaps Model, with the goal of contributing to harmonization and integration in the supply chain. The model suggests that significant perception gaps may exist among supply chain members with regards to the importance of different performance criteria. The concept of the model is conceived through an empirical and inductive approach, com-bining the research discipline of supply chain relationship and perception gap analysis. First hand data has been collected through a survey across a key buyer in the motor insurance industry and its eight suppliers. Rigorous statistical analysis testified the research hypotheses, which in turn verified the validity and relevance of the developed 3-Level Gaps Model. The research reveals the significant existence of supply chain perception gaps at all three levels as defined, which could be the root causes to underperformed supply chain.

“…The goal of complete supply chain integration or uniform corporate culture is also not universally accepted as an ideal state. Cox and Stacy [32] argued the cultural diversity of a firm promotes team creativity and innovation, and Van Donk and van der Vaart [33] found that the integration of a supply chain dominated by shared resources and limited capacity is hardly possible or feasible or possible when customer demand is relatively uncertain. Such uncertainties make it challenging for firms to understand how much integration or cultural assimilation is required for its ES initiative to achieve the targeted innovation outputs.…”

Environmental Sustainability as a Source of Product Innovation: The Role of Governance Mechanisms in Manufacturing Firms

Abstract:Over the past two decades, since the emergence of the triple bottom line philosophy, the relationship between environmental sustainability and corporate performance has received a lot of attention, but has generated mixed or often even contradictory results. A few recent studies have inferred that innovations are the missing link that connects the environmental sustainability of a firm to other performance metrics; however, the evidence of such a proposition has been restricted to being conceptual or anecdotal. Relying on a knowledge governance approach, this study presents exploratory empirical evidence indicating that the impacts of a firm's sustainability initiatives on its innovation performance originate from the governance mechanism it uses for sustainability, not sustainability outcomes per se. We tested this research proposition by using a subsample of Global Manufacturing Research Group's global survey data. Our results support the positive impacts of two widely-used environmental sustainability governance mechanisms (i.e., internal monitoring and supplier collaboration) on product innovation capability. The findings further provide more useful and effective options for manufacturing firms and managers, to establish environmental sustainability governance mechanisms that can be converted into product innovation capability.

“…A growing number of researchers are using uncertainty as the means of assessing and framing supply chain concepts (e.g., Lee, 2002;Sanchez-Rodrigues et al, 2010;Sun et al, 2009;van der Vorst & Beulens, 2001;van der Vorst et al, 2001;van Donk & van der Vaart, 2005;Vidal & Goetschalckx, 2000;Wong & Boon-itt, 2008). Much of this work can be traced to the original supply chain uncertainty approach by Davis (1993), which was later clarified by Mason-Jones & Towill (1998).…”

Purpose -The purpose of this research is to contrast manufacturing and service sector supply chains in order to develop an audit methodology capable of providing objective, cross-sector comparisons of supply chain integration performance. Design/Methodology/approach -A robust, site-based multi-method supply chain diagnostic for detecting manufacturing supply chain system uncertainty (QSAM) was modified for the service sector so as to yield the (normalised) supply chain integration performances of 109 separate organisations. Findings -Service supply chains do not always exhibit the unique attributes that effectively bar manufacturing supply chain best practice from being adopted (and vice versa). The research confirms the value of utilising an uncertainty circle model lens, which makes objective cross-sector comparisons of supply chain performance possible. Originality/value -Combining the uncertainty circle model with the QSAM approach yields performance vectors that can be used to align estimates of value stream 'health' irrespective of the organisational setting. This can assist identification and transfer of appropriate best practice even between firms located in dissimilar industry sectors and settings.
