“…Eckstein et al (2015) have argued on the basis of prior research (see Blome et al 2013;Gligor et al 2013) that supply chain agility and adaptability can be considered dynamic capabilitiesan extension of RBV (Teece et al 1997) -that result from the firm's ability to reconfigure firm-level and supply-chain level resources. Augier and Teece (2009) have argued that when dynamic capabilities enable organizations to achieve coordination, they benefit from complementarities and better decision making (Augier and Teece, 2009;Gligor et al 2012;Blome et al 2013;Gligor and Holcomb, 2014;Gligor et al 2015Gligor et al , 2016. They have also noted that in creating dynamic capabilities, top management plays a distinctive role in selecting and/or developing routines, making investment choices, and in orchestrating non-tradable assets to achieve efficiencies and appropriate returns from innovation.…”

Purpose -To examine when and how organizations create agility, adaptability, and alignment as distinct supply chain properties to gain sustainable competitive advantage.Design/methodology/approach -The current study utilizes the resource-based view (RBV) under the moderating effect of top management commitment. To test our research hypotheses, we gathered 351 usable responses using a pre-tested questionnaire.Findings -Our statistical analyses suggest that information sharing and supply chain connectivity resources influence supply chain visibility capability, which, under the moderating effect of top management commitment, enhance supply chain agility, adaptability and alignment.Originality/value -Our contribution lies in: (i) providing a holistic study of the antecedents of agility, adaptability and alignment; (ii) investigating the moderating role of top management commitment on supply chain agility, adaptability and alignment; (iii) following the RBV and addressing calls for investigating the role of resources in supply chain management, and for empirical studies with implications for supply chain design.

“…Fisher () presented his model almost 20 years ago, and today, companies are part of global supply chains and operate in uncertain environments with various levels of dynamism, turbulence, and complexity (Gligor et al. ). Christopher and Holweg () point out that most supply chain models originate from a period of relative stability, while current‐day supply chains experience increasing turbulence.…”

“…Although Fisher's (1997) framework became one of the most popular frameworks within strategic, operations, and supply chain management, it has an important limitation: It does not account for the impact of the firm's operating environment on the relationship between supply chain fit and firm performance. Fisher (1997) presented his model almost 20 years ago, and today, companies are part of global supply chains and operate in uncertain environments with various levels of dynamism, turbulence, and complexity (Gligor et al 2016). Christopher and Holweg (2011) point out that most supply chain models originate from a period of relative stability, while current-day supply chains experience increasing turbulence.…”

Research has emphasized the importance of matching products' characteristics with their supply chain design (i.e., supply chain fit). Fisher () introduced the notion of supply chain fit and indicated that before developing a supply chain firms must consider the nature of the demand for their products. I expand on the Fisher () framework by offering a more comprehensive understanding of when it pays off for firms to deploy resources to achieve supply chain fit. I argue that it is simplistic to assume that perfect supply chain fit will always lead to improved financial performance because the benefits generated by perfect supply chain fit might be offset by the resources deployed to achieve that fit. In order to execute this research I use archival and survey data to evaluate the moderating effects of six dimensions of environmental uncertainty (e.g., munificence, market dynamism, technological dynamism, technical complexity, product diversity, and geographic dispersion) on the relationship between supply chain fit and financial performance.

“…(Sambamurthy, Bharadwaj and Grover,2003), comment that operational agility also build on the accuracy and effective cost to change with greater flexibility and speed. Finaly, (Glicor, Holcomb and Feizabadi, 2016) clarify that operational agility tied with supply chain agility.…”
