“…Volatile markets, highly aware customers, customized products, a short product life cycle and short time lead to uncertainty (Kumar et al, 2013;Schnetzler et al, 2004). That challenge can be coped with greater flexibility that reflects the ability of a system to respond rapidly to changes occuring inside and outside the system (Garavelli, 2003). Time to market is becoming more and more important.…”

The main aim of the paper is to review literature on supply chain challenges and key success factors for SMEs and to draw the theoretical linkage between the two phenomena. The narrative literature review is undertaken as a method of the research. The paper starts from the literature review on supply chain challenges which is followed by the analysis of key success factors of supply chains and SMEs. The findings reveal that SMEs are still locked in their own performance limitations and coping with their own success thus can hardly support the success of supply chain; however, solving their own success problems SMEs can become a valuable and supportive partner in the pursuit of success of the whole supply chain. Keywords: supply chain, challenges, key success factors, small and medium size enterprises (SME).Straipsnio pagrindinis tikslas yra atlikti tiekimo grandinės iššūkių ir mažų bei vidutinių įmonių kritinių sė-kmės veiksnių literatūros analizę, ir nustatyti teorinius ryšius tarp šių dviejų fenomenų. Tyrimui naudotas teorinės literatūros analizės metodas. Pradžioje nagrinėjami tiekimo grandinės iššūkiai, o vėliau -mažų ir vidutinių įmonių kritiniai sėkmės veiksniai. Tyrimo rezultatai atskleidžia, kad mažų ir vidutinių įmonių veiklos rezultatyvumas, galintis tenkinti tiekimo grandinės keliamus reikalavimus ir iššūkius, yra ribotas. Norėdamos tapti tiekimo grandinės sėkmės bendraautorėmis, jos pirmiausia turi spręsti savo pačių vidinės sėkmės užda-vinius. Raktiniai žodžiai: tiekimo grandinė, iššūkiai, pagrindiniai sėkmės veiksniai, mažos ir vidutinės įmonės (MVĮ).

“…Indeed, in looking at the literature it is clear that many authors outline a number of taxonomies addressing different types of flexibility such as functional aspects i.e. flexibility in operations, marketing, logistics [47], [58], hierarchical aspects such as flexibility at shop, plant or company level [47], [52], [61] and [89], measurement aspects focused on global flexibility measures vs. context specific ones (e.g., [28], [47], [51]- [52] and [87]), strategic aspects centered on the strategic relevance of flexibility [22], [47], [49], [72] and time horizon aspects for example long-term vs. Short-term flexibility [47], [110]. Flexibility has been an important topic of interest to researchers in the area of operations management and extensively in the context of flexibility in manufacturing systems [49], [88]- [89].…”

During the Web era e-procurement has witnessed a steep rise in marketplace deployment; this has been followed by a substantial number of failures. A number of larger technology providers are now left to support both small and large businesses. Flexibility has been a key enabler in supporting network evolution across a varied number of domains. The aim of this study is to investigate flexibility around marketplace evolution, success and failure. In particular, explore the inter-relationships between architectural flexibility and the evolving Web and Internet. A systematic literature review (SLR) was carried out in order to uncover the changes that have taken place over the past fifteen years. A conceptual model is produced early in the research in order to provide contextual underpinning. We employed a manual search of 5 journals. Of the 22 relevant studies, one addressed research trends around e-procurement in pharmaceutical organizations. Three addressed eprocurement in financial organizations. A number of flexibility categories are uncovered by the SLR and then used as a means to support flexible e-procurement marketplace (EPM) design and adoption, recognising EPM evolution over the volatile study period. Flexibility categories are uncovered and comprise technical, organisational, environmental and strategic (TOES) concerns.

“…The adaptivity of a system reflects its ability to, on the one hand, open its boundaries [37] to enable information inflow [38], and on the other hand to close the system's boundaries [39,40], to keep this inflow at a manageable level and therewith to prevent the system from information overload. Whereas the former is needed to react flexible to changes in the relevant environment, the latter maintains the system's stability [41].…”

Abstract.This paper aims to analyze the potential contributions of the organization principle autonomous co-operation and control to the innovation capabilities of logistics systems and their sub-systems like single organizations. Therefore, the concept of Complex Adaptive Logistics Systems (CALS) will be introduced and the essentiality of the heterogeneity of the elements within logistics systems for their innovation capabilities will be emphasized. One possible driver for homogeneity is the so-called dominant logic.
