“…Managers should identify the information to be shared and the best mechanism to share it, with the objective of improving the total supply chain performance. Choy et al (2014) developed a hypothetical model with seven hypotheses to study the impact of adopting Information Technology (IT) applications in supply chain, such as information and communication technology (ICT), logistics information system (LIS) and business intelligence (BI). Two dimensions of service performance were taken into consideration; service quality for market-based view and competitive advantage for resource-based view.…”

The emergence of new digital industrial technology, known as Industry 4.0, has a positiveimpact on the performance of the supply chain. Warehouses are a basic part of the supply chain;they are used to store products and manage the inventory level. A sound warehouse managementsystem can lead to cost reduction and also can improve customer satisfaction. Traditionalwarehouse management models have become less efficient and unsuitable for today’s increasingmarket requirements. For the past decades, information and communication technology has beenused for warehouse management. This paper presents a new approach for warehouse managementby utilizing one of the main pillars of Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things. This new technologyenables the connection of several objects through collecting real-time data and sharing them; theresulting information can then be used to support automated decision-making. The architecture ofthis application is illustrated and its potential benefits are overviewed. A framework is proposed toimplement this approach in warehousing management, which can help in providing real-timevisibility of everything in the warehouse, increasing speed and efficiency, and preventing inventoryshortage and counterfeiting. This proposal gives an effective roadmap for enterprises to improvetheir warehouses by using the Internet of Things.

“…Currently, the company gets benefit from a fully supported and integrated IT system which maintains its competitive advantage successfully. In another case study on logistics companies in Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta region, it has been revealed that through IT implementation in logistics departments, the companies enhance their performance regularly, which creates a significant level of competitiveness for them (Choy et al, 2014).…”

Aim/PurposeAn important objective of any firm is escalation of its performance and the achievement of competitive advantages. Supply chain agility plays a prominent role to enhance the level of firm's performance. Moreover, information technology (IT) plays a foundational role in supply chain management practices. Hence, this study proposes the relationship between IT integration as the competency of IT and firm's market performance both directly and through mediating role of supply chain agility. Background Many studies have been done to date on the impact of supply chain agility on overall firm's performance. However, the effect of an agile supply chain on firm's market performance per se needs to be studied. Furthermore, there is a gap in the literature about the effect of IT competency such as IT integration on firm's market performance both directly and through mediating role of supply chain agility. Recommendation for ResearchersThe first direction this study gives to researchers is to consider the different factors which have significant effect on the agility of supply chain, particularly the IT related ones. The second direction is about the study on the effect of IT competencies and supply chain agility on each category of firm's performance separately instead of considering it as a one construct. Impact on Society Although this is a conceptual study, it can highlight the importance of IT competency not only in our daily life, but also in our businesses and industries. Future ResearchThis study only proposes some relationships based on theory and literature. Future researchers can test these proposed relationships in different contexts and IT Integration and Supply Chain Agility on Market Performance (A Proposed Study) 100 compare the results. Furthermore, this study proposes the relationships for large manufacturing sector in developing countries. The model could be tested for SMEs as well. In addition, the proposed theoretical model in this study might be tested in both developing as well as developed countries to compare the results which will be contributed to the body of knowledge.
