A model for examining the effect of knowledge sharing and new IT-based technologies on the success of the supply chain management systems

Abstract

Purpose This research specifies the factors impacting on the success of supply chain management (SCM) systems in the organizations. This paper aims to assess the effect of knowledge sharing, the vehicular ad hoc network (VANET), radio frequency identification technology (RFID) and near field communications (NFC) and the social capabilities of information technology (IT) and information and communication technology (ICT)on the success of the SCM systems and the simplification of the SCM challenges and other factors affecting its success. Design/methodology/approach A questionnaire is designed for measuring the elements of the proposed model. The questionnaires are revised by experts with experiences in SCM. For statistical analysis, SPSS 24.0 and SMART- PLS (partial least squares) 3.2.6 software package are used. The structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis procedure is conducted in two stages. The reliability analysis and confirmatory factor for analyzing the dimensions and items are included in the first stage. The second stage involves evaluating the assumptions through the SEM. Findings The results have depicted that four variables (knowledge sharing, VANET, RFID and NFC, and the social capabilities of using IT) affect the success of SCM systems. Originality/value This research specifies the factors impacting on the success of SCM in the organizations. These technologies aid companies in improving their performance in the SCM and facilitating coherence and collaboration.

The relationship among knowledge-based dynamic process capabilities, innovation processes and innovation performance: an empirical study of knowledge-based high-tech companies in Iran

“…Knowledge acquisition capability refers to the process of extracting knowledge from external and internal sources, usually human experts (Lin, 2013). Knowledge-sharing capability means the dissemination of information, expertise, skill and know-how among knowledge workers providing mutual support to solve problems and develop ideas (Charband and JafariNavimipour, 2018; Zeraati et al , 2019; Doronin et al , 2020). Knowledge combination capability is defined by Carmeli and Azeroual (2009) as such, “the capability of individuals to absorb and integrate exchanged information and knowledge (such as routines and strategic processes) in the organization.” Knowledge application capability means the use of available knowledge to make decisions and to perform tasks through routines and directions (Al Saifi, 2015).…”

Systematic literature review on the supply chain agility for manufacturer and consumer

“…Still, other organizations have spent the same amount with great prosperity (Dobernig & Schanes, 2019; Samadi & Kassou, 2016). SCA is a critical competitiveness determinant in the current turbulent and dynamic business setting (Sangari et al., 2015; Zeraati et al., 2019). Although agility has an effective role in SC, there is not any comprehensive review of the agility procedures in SC.…”

The Effect of Social Capital on Tacit Knowledge-Sharing Intention: The Mediating Role of Employee Vigor

“…Existing literature has studied individual factors influencing individuals' knowledge sharing from the perspectives of individual characteristics (Zeraati et al, 2019). Sharing knowledge is affected by employees' personality traits and self-efficacy.…”
