Intangible supply chain complexity, organizational structure and firm performance

Abstract: PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to conduct a large-sample empirical examination of how intangible supply chain complexity impacts firm performance in light of a firm's organizational structure.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses panel data from 2,580 Indian manufacturing firms and constructs empirical proxy for intangible supply chain complexity, i.e. CHQ distance from major cities. The proposed conceptual model is grounded in the dynamic capability view (DCV) and social network theory (SNT). Multiva… Show more

“…Buyer firms engage in value-adding activities through purchasing of parts, materials and services from a group of suppliers (Pant et al, 2020(Pant et al, , 2021Yu et al, 2021;Qiao and Wang, 2021;Yang et al, 2019;Corvino et al, 2019;Alvarado-Vargas and Kelley, 2019;Lu and Shang, 2017). In a dynamic business environment, effective supply chain management is considered to be an important means to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage (Yu et al, 2021;Nam et al, 2011;Tan et al, 1998).…”

“…The authors would like to sincerely thank the four anonymous reviewers and editors for their pertinent comments and suggestions for this paper, which not only improved the quality, but also the presentation of this paper. complexity, poor value chain performance and lower financial outcomes (Pant et al, 2021;Zhao et al, 2019;Bode and Wagner, 2015;Bozarth et al, 2009;Choi and Krause, 2006). A number of studies have highlighted the importance of an over-reliance on relational capital in supply chain management as a means to mitigate the embedded uncertainty in buyersupplier relationships (Yeoman and Santos, 2019;Mahapatra et al, 2019;Fan and Stevenson, 2019;Forkmann et al, 2016).…”

“…From the CRBV perspective, therefore, this study further advances the existing supply chain integration literature by empirically examining the extent to which customer integration contributes to customer value through process/ product innovation capabilities under varying conditions of SCNC. Thus, while empirical evidence regarding the extent to which SCNC impacts on business operations remains equivocal (Pant et al, 2021;Turner et al, 2018), the results from this study, as presented in Figures 2 and 3, show that leveraging customer integration through process innovation drives customer value more when such resource orchestration activity occurs in an environment characterized by greater SCNC. The findings corroborate the contention that the relationship between innovation and performance is contextdependent (Rousseau et al, 2016;Story et al, 2015), and align with the literature that suggests that greater SCNC, while it may be a major source of threat to business survival, facilitates the development and deployment of value-enhancing resources and capabilities (Turner et al, 2018) such as innovation (Wang et al, 2015;Choi and Krause, 2006).…”

“…Although the notion of complexity has been increasingly linked to supply chains (Pant et al , 2021; Turner et al , 2018), SCM researchers have conceptualized and measured the complexity construct differently (Manuj and Sahin, 2011; Bozarth et al , 2009). As Bode and Wagner (2014) argue, two basic qualities define complexity: structure and behavior .…”
