“…While Hebb argues that opacity and secrecy distort efficiency in decision making, Piske states that process transparency fosters efficient cooperation in change processes. Others refer to the efficient functioning of markets that could be diminished without transparency (Barth et al, 2003) and the enhancement of information visibility through formalized procedures (Hsu et al, 2009).…”

Although transparency is currently a buzzword in the public discourse, public relations (PR) theory has not yet produced a theory of transparency. Instead, its body of knowledge lacks theoretical depth and critical perspectives. Taking this as a point of departure, the article searches for alternative accounts on transparency, which could stimulate PR discourse and help to overcome the theoretical and normative deficits. Therefore it aims to discern whether or not the discourse in related disciplines such as business studies is more reflective and complex than in the PR domain. To determine this, we analysed 105 articles taken from Business Source Premier, one of the leading databases in the business field. Relying on a combined qualitative and quantitative analysis, our main findings are: (1) more than half of the articles set transparency in a positive frame; (2) a definition of transparency was given in only 13 articles; and (3) like in the public relations discourse, a theory-driven analysis of transparency is a desideratum. Only two articles set transparency within the context of a broader theoretical perspective. Both articles embed transparency in the paradigm of self-organizing systems. This paradigm looks to be a promising way forward for theory-oriented research on transparency in PR. One article provides the reader with a systematization of transparency which may provide a basis for a theory of transparency in PR.

“…However, we acknowledge and admit the fact that the practical validation of this postulate will depend on the business characteristics of a firm. Based on the review of extant literature, Hsu et al (2009) state that information exchange encompasses different types of information (supplier, customer, product, manufacturing procedure, transportation, inventory, sales and market, competition, supply chain processes and performance-related information). Therefore, performance outcomes would definitely be different depending on the type of information that is shared.…”

AbstractPurpose -Today, supply chain design and management constitute a major source of competitive advantage for firms. The purpose of this paper is to empirically investigate, from a balanced scorecard strategy map (BSSM) perspective, the types of linkages through which supply chain management practices (SCMPs) impact on financial and non-financial performance, and consequently lead to the achievement of the firm's strategic objectives. Design/methodology/approach -This study is carried out in two stages. First, based on the survey data collected from 450 French industrial firms (with a return rate of 20.2 per cent), structural equation modelling (SEM) is used to test eight hypotheses that are formulated through the discussion of previous theoretical and empirical findings in extant literature. Then, based on the framework of the BSSM, the SEM results are used to discuss the linkages between SCMPs and firm performance. Findings -After confirming some of the relationships already observed in extant literature, the results show that there are many strategic paths (of different nature) that link SCMPs and other intangible assets to financial performance. Practical implications -The results of the study constitute a practical contribution that would guide managers in the strategic alignment of their firm's supply chain initiatives with corporate strategy. The authors argue that when implementing supply chain management initiatives, managers should pay particular attention to how intangible assets act as mediating factors in the achievement of the firm's financial objectives. The BSC framework that the authors propose can also be used by researchers to investigate causal linkages between intangible and tangible assets. Originality/value -There are few studies that adopt an extensive multidimensional approach by looking simultaneously at both upstream and downstream linkages of the supply chain whilst taking into account many performance measures. Using the BSSM framework, this paper proposes eight types of linkages that could lead to the achievement of the firm's strategic g...

“…For information quality, they identified nine aspects from the literature: accuracy; availability; timeliness; internal connectivity; external connectivity; completeness; relevance; accessibility; and frequently updated information. Similarly, a study by Hsu et al (2009) shows that inter-organizational information sharing quality has a positive impact on the supply chain integrated performance, and that information sharing quality should be multi-dimensional in terms of accuracy, timeliness, adequacy and credibility of information exchanged.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to test the effect of supply chain linkages and information sharing on supply chain performance and export performance of textile and clothing (T&C) firms in Egypt. Design/methodology/approach -A theoretical framework developed from the literature was suggested and tested using an online survey. The focus of this research is the export side of the T&C industry in Egypt. The sampling frame consisted of 310 T&C exporting firms, from which 63 samples were obtained. Linear regression was used to measure the relationships. Findings -The results showed upstream (supplier) and downstream (customer) linkages and Information sharing to be positively related to both supply chain performance and export performance. The best predictors of export performance were found to be (in order of decreasing importance): supply chain performance; supplier linkages; and linkages (supplier and customer taken together). Practical implications -The results of this study give T&C firms in Egypt greater insight on how they may become globally competitive and leverage their proximity to key T&C markets. Egyptian T&C firms should invest in long-term relationships with their suppliers and invest in business processes that involve their customers and that provide for a higher quality and level of information sharing. Originality/value -There are no studies that empirically demonstrate how a management paradigm change towards a focus on supply chain management practices influences the performance of the T&C industry in the global market. The paper adds to the literature supporting the positive effect of supply chain management practices on firm performance. Also, new indicators for measuring export performance are suggested and tested.
