“…Burgess (1998) was one of the first to identify IT as a critical component of logistics strategy, noting that IT can provide integration between supply chain firms and, as a result, can improve customer service and lower costs. A study by Stoeken (2000) showed that IT has a direct impact on coordination and leads to supply chain innovation. Vickery et al (2003) further showed a direct link between integrative information technologies and supply chain coordination for supplier firms in the auto industry.…”

The use of information technologies between supply chain organizations has been shown to promote organizational coordination and have a positive impact on performance. Drawing from organizational theories of learning, we build on this research by proposing a model that relates the pattern of supplier use of IT to specific types of supply chain coordination activities and a comprehensive set of organizational benefits. Specifically, we evaluate how two patterns of IT use by suppliers (exploitation and exploration) relate to two specific types of coordination activities with their buyers (operational and strategic coordination), which in turn are posited to promote specific organizational benefits. Using data from 241 first-tier OEM suppliers in the computer industry, our findings show that each pattern of IT use directly promotes a specific type of coordination activity. Although both types of coordination activities are needed to achieve both strategic and operational benefits, we find each coordination activity to be uniquely promoted by a specific pattern of IT use. IT use for exploitation is found to be an antecedent to operational coordination; IT use for exploration is found to be an antecedent to strategic coordination. No crossover between pattern of use and coordination activities is found. Our findings show that to achieve a complete set of benefits, suppliers must ultimately use IT for both exploration and exploitation. These findings provide a deeper understanding of the mechanism of how the pattern of IT use can result in a comprehensive set of organizational benefits for supplier firms. #

“…The argument that IT promotes supply chain coordination is further supported by transaction cost economics. The premise of the literature in this area is that cooperation and coordination among firms is limited by the transaction costs of managing the interaction (Coase l937;Stroeken 2000;Williamson l975). As transaction costs increase, market transaction efficiency decreases.…”

The use of e‐business technologies between supply chain organizations has primarily been examined from the viewpoint of buying firms or retailers, with little attention given to the benefits accrued to suppliers. Further, previous studies have been limited to either financial or marketing performance measures, or a narrow range of operational measures. This study builds on research in this area by testing a model of the relationship between supplier use of e‐business technologies in communication with their primary buyer, degree of buyer‐supplier coordination, and a complete set of benefits that include strategic and operational performance measures. Using data from 241 first‐tier OEM suppliers in the computer industry, the findings show that supplier use of e‐business technologies positively impacts organizational benefits both directly and indirectly by promoting buyer‐supplier coordination.

“…It is generally expected that the implementation of enterprise systems leads to cost reduction, increased profit, and improved customer satisfaction (SimchiLevi, Kaminsky, & Simchi-Levi 2003;Stroeken, 2000). For these reasons, technology based solutions are considered as an important enabler of an effectively integrated supply chain (Simchi-Levi et al).…”

Practitioners and academics have identified and acknowledged the presence of a gap related to actual and potential values of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology in the manufacturing industry. The purpose of this study is to present the RFID implementation in Swedish manufacturing firms, and if or to what extent use of this technology facilitates in increasing transparency of in-formation throughout the supply chain for manufacturing companies. The findings show that although the great majority of firms are actively working with integrated information systems, only a small fraction has adopted RFID.
