“…As such, IT has the potential to be adopted and adapted in a wide range of sectors in a country, in ways that can dramatically improve operations and products as well as the relationships between different sectors. In this regard, IT serves both roles of competence enabler and capability enhancer (Perunović et al, 2012). As a competence enabler, IT opens up new opportunities or markets, and as a capability enhancer, IT helps deliver better solutions that are cheaper and faster.…”

The impacts of information technology (IT) on total factor productivity (TFP) are assessed through an integrative framework of IT-induced externalities and IT-leveraged innovations. Based on network externalities and endogenous growth theory, our study aims to reconcile the seeming discrepancy between the recent observed evidence and the prediction by neoclassical growth theory. We argue that computerization has reshaped the competitive landscape into a network economy with IT-induced externalities that benefit not only IT purchasers but also other stakeholders. Moreover, IT is a platform technology that can leverage innovations to enhance the technological level of production process. Consequently, these two factors of IT-induced externalities and IT-leveraged innovations exert positive impacts on TFP, suggesting IT plays a more pivotal role than input consumption and accumulation that neoclassical growth theory assumes for IT. We use panel data from 30 Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries over the period of 2000 to 2009 to empirically test hypotheses on this IT-TFP link. Implications are drawn from our findings for future research to measure IT's contributions at the macro level more accurately, and policymakers are urged to cultivate IT's positive impacts on TFP to help sustain long-term economic growth.

“…One such area is information technology capacity to reduce costs and improve service quality (Lai et al, 2008;Perunovic et al, 2012), since a lack of relational capacity can affect supply (Tsai et al, 2008;Lai et al, 2013). The relationships between integration capabilities, organizational learning ability, service performance, and financial performance are suggested using a model of structural equation (Shang, 2009), to hire an LSP with service capacity (Vasiliauskiene et al, 2011).…”

Framework built on resource based view for outsourcing strategy on hiring logistics service provider

Resumo: O processo de terceirização de serviços logísticos (TSL) é considerado incipiente na gestão das organizações, não só pelas suas questões operacionais como também pelas dificuldades de se criar elos com a estratégia da empresa. O presente estudo teórico, fundamentado na Teoria Baseada em Recursos, visa propor umAbstract: The process of Outsourcing Logistics Service (OLS) is deemed incipient in the management of organizations, not only because of the operational problems it presents, but also of its difficulties fitting into the company's overall strategy. The present theoretical study, building on the resource-based view of the firm, aims to propose a framework that guides managers in developing strategies to OLS starting from the operational structure to establish the necessary resources, capabilities, and routines. In addition, taken into account is the importance of analyzing risks and resilience in the environment, concomitantly with the analysis of the operational structure. Thus, four questions were developed, aimed at leading operations managers to reflect on the development of the strategy. The framework proposed for OLS considers the supply chain management department as the main interlocutor of the strategy. This framework can be adapted according with the necessity of the contracting company, and its main intention is to enable the establishment of a project that contemplates the necessary resources, the capabilities (criteria), and the operational routines (subcriteria) for the selection of a logistics service provider in the market, one which truly addresses the needs of the organization. This framework is already intrinsic in the practical actions of the authors, because of their extensive advisory activity over the last five years in OLS to logistics service provider. In addition, it is worth mentioning that so far in the tacit applications of this framework there has been no application similar to another.

Perunović, Mefford, and Christoffersen (2012) use SEM to determine how information technologies foster the success of outsourcing processes. Gensheng, Rachna, and Roger (2012) examine the impact of functional integration within a company, focusing on mass personalisation and plant performance.…”

This paper analyses the process of implementing a just-in-time (JIT) methodology in maquiladora assembly plants in Mexico, through 20 activities undertaken in the areas of administration, supervision and production. The proposed approach uses a factor analysis of each group of variables (validating their feasibility through an analysis of the correlation matrix) by sections, activities and benefits obtained. A structural equations model is proposed to show how key factors in the success of the implementation of JIT associated with productive activities interrelate with factors linked to benefits. The results forthcoming from the study show that the benefits obtained through the proper administration by senior managers of their powers are directly reflected in the plant's productivity indices, such as increases in output, quality and the operational flexibility of production systems. Furthermore, a good relationship with and management of suppliers guarantees an acceptable level of control over inventories, regarding both work in process and the end product, and likewise impact upon productivity indices.
