A national culture perspective in the efficacy of supply chain integration practices

Learning orientation and innovation performance: the mediating role of operations strategy and supply chain integration

“…A 5-point scale ranging from 1 (completely disagree) to 5 (completely agree) was used for measuring respondents' opinions about their firm's position regarding learning orientation and supply chain integration. For operations strategy, we adapted items from the widely used measures developed by Ward and Duray (2000) and Ward, Duray, Leong, and Sum (1995) which were used in later studies (Qi et al, 2017;Wong, Sancha, & Thomsen, 2017). Respondents were asked to indicate their firm's priorities in operations on a 5-point scale from 1 (most unimportant) to 5 (most important).…”

National culture and operations management: a structured literature review

“…However, again, there are cases of mixed results for similar practices. For example, interdependent activities involving various actors in a multinational company or a supply chain are seen more effective in companies located in collectivistic and future-oriented countries (Bendoly et al 2006;Eckerd et al 2016), but the opposite view is also supported by some research (Wong, Sancha, and Giménez Thomsen 2017). As with OM strategy, one potential reason for these contrasting impacts may be the interaction between culture and contextual variables.…”

Are trade and transport logistics activities mutually reinforcing? Some empirical evidences from ASEAN countries

“…Additional access to the international market can be facilitated by the investment and improvement in transport sector (Findlay 2007;Wong et al 2012b). The infrastructure investments improve and expand linkages to the global supply chain (Wong et al 2012a;Lun et al 2011;Wong et al 2013;Wong et al 2017). For example, a newly-built large container port by a member country tends to accommodate larger and more vessels, and hence attracts cargo flows from member countries as well as other nonmembers.…”
