“…In recent environments co-ordination and co-operation between competitors and partners (rather than the optimisation of individual functions within a single organisation) would add to the competitive success of modern SCs (Wang et al, 2007). Thus the focus of SCM has shifted from the competitive advantage of individuals to the competitive advantage of the entire SC.…”

Highlights• Develop an aggregated research schema for VE, ASC, and SC collaboration • Propose a conceptual model for the relationship between VE and ASC • Explore drivers and enablers of agility • Provide rich empirical evidence on impact of VE on ASC • Present theoretical insights and practical implications for managers ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT ABSTRACTIn the recent advanced information communications and technology (ICT) era, collaborating virtually and temporarily in supply chains (SCs) to receive mutual benefits such as agility while sharing resources and information becomes an important strategy for enterprises that seek to increase their competitiveness and to optimise their processes and resource usage. As a dynamic and temporary form of alliance from the resource perspective, virtual enterprises (VEs) may contribute network resource heterogeneity and sustain competitive advantage. In addition, agility is suggested as a rare, valuable, network resource that is difficult to imitate and that cannot easily be substituted by other attributes.Although many researchers have investigated VEs and their agility, the research pays less attention to the relationship between VEs and agility in complex SC situations. This paper therefore investigates the relationship between VE and agility in SCs (ASCs) and explores drivers and enablers of agility and outcomes. To clarify the relationships between factors a structural equation model (SEM) is adopted to examine the model fit according to the measurement variables and supporting hypotheses. The results provide rich empirical evidence of the beneficial impact of VEs on ASCs, and theoretical and managerial insights that can be used to strengthen the drivers, enablers and capabilities to enhance the effectiveness of VE collaboration in ASCs in a global and dynamic context. Also, the analysis results can aid a decision maker which ones of the factors are the important ones that he or she should devote more resources and efforts on.

“…Many of the articles found in the supply chain journals or other publications prior to this have done research on the dynamic supply chains referring to the manufacturing, retailing and using modeling techniques as a method in deliberating the decision [2,[18][19][20]. Several studies done in Malaysia on the supply chain issues also includes: value changes and multicultural complexity [17]; collaborative supply chain [21]; outsourcing [3] sustainability and environmental control [22].…”

The oil and gas companies often claim as highly complex and structured through the supply chain system that requires dynamic practices.Oil and gas companies may encounter capabilities problems related to the dynamic supply chain practices in attainment and reassessment of their associates in the supply chains. Motivated by the complication in the oil and gas companies and its typical characteristic of the supply chain, this study intends to understand the real situation problem that needs to be known about how the supply chain practices as seen by oil and gas industry players. Resource-based view and organizational learning theory are used to support for developing the framework to the study. In order to gain an in-depth understanding dynamic supply chain practices the contractors registered with PETRONAS licensing companies have been chosen. Due to the subjectivity of the study that requires understanding of dynamic supply chain practices; this study uses the interpretive paradigm where it would guide towards qualitative methodology. This study will provide deep and wide description of the dynamic of supply chain practices where the outcome will contribute to the managerial and theoretical perspective of supply chain management in oil and gas players.
