“…Numerous quantitative and qualitative targets can be defined to improve performance over the duration (Glaister et al , 2008; Greenley, 1994; Wheelen et al , 2015). Because quantitative metrics are difficult to collect, it has been proposed that qualitative measures should be incorporated in performance evaluations (Chae et al , 2014).…”

“…On the other part, it has been argued that combining lean productivity with a versatile operating model helps agile businesses to achieve superior performance at mass production costs (Adeleye and Yusuf, 2006). Furthermore, AM focuses on advanced technologies that allow products to be produced economically and suited to the needs (Wheelen et al, 2015). An agile supply chain can strategically leverage its resources and turn costs through customer value, which besides contributes to superior results (C.John Langley and Holcomb, 1992;Halley and Guilhon, 1997;Musau et al, 2017), and helps us to develop the hypothesis.…”

“…It allows for resource reconfiguration and for environmental dangers and opportunities to be sensed and capitalized on. Few kinds of literature, a strong argument in favor of qualitative measures for OPs used to measure supply chain factors (Chakravarthy, 1986;Wheelen et al, 2015). The literature explains indicators to measure operational efficacy are "reduction of lead time in production, more accurate costing, and resource planning".…”

Purpose This study aims to examine the effect of supply chain agility (SCA) on operational performance (OP) measurements of steel manufacturing firms. It also investigates the role of cost efficiencies concerning enhance OPs. Design/methodology/approach The study is based on an experimental research design by collecting data from responses 398 responses of key officials of India’s steel manufacturing firms. Analyses are carried to explore this modern concept with the help of Smart-partial least square (PLS) version 3.3.2 with confirmatory factor analysis and PLS structural equational modelling. Findings SCA factor (SCAF) directly has influenced the firm’s OP. It also represents cost efficiencies that have partial mediation between the SCAF and OP. The impact of cost efficiencies on OPs is strongly significant as compared to the impact of SCAF on cost efficiencies. Practical implications Management teams in the manufacturing industry should stress the role of SCA as a comprehensive concept in responding to market needs in a volatile environment. SCA reflects one of its winning strategies in today’s dynamic and competitive world. Managers must thoroughly know the ramifications of agility to develop a mechanism for determining the procedures and identifying inequality in SC operation. Originality/value This study speaks explicitly about the linkage between SCAF, OP, CE. It is an addition to the existing theories of RBV. Enhancements in OP measurements, specifically performance and flexibility, will lead to better firm performance. study conceptualizing the complementing effects of SCA (IS capability) and OPs and second cost efficiencies play positive partial mediating effect in between the link. The achievement of SC agile is especially a critical approach to Boost customer satisfaction and differentiate market position.

“…Based on the experience of the author, this is also true within the segment of healthcare and different MedTech companies according to the development of their business strategies. The strategic decision management in SMEs follows different stages (Wheelen & Hunger, 2006). A product and environmental scan related to risk and opportunities is followed by an organizational analysis with respect to strength and weakness of internal factors.…”

This paper is focusing on SME internationalization and investigates the antecedents and the effects of organizational capabilities on strategy in the German MedTech industry. However, the impact of existing research in this field is relatively poor and is not yet applicable in other countries or industries. As a consequence, a systematic review of the literature has been conducted. The results have shown heterogeneous research outcomes in the field of strategy and the need for further research in this context. Overall, the review indicates an initial conceptual model that has been developed, in which significant findings could be identified and refined in a country-, industry-or firm-specific way. The results will serve as a strategic input for SME's in the German MedTech industry.

Corporate sustainability strategy: From definitional ambiguity toward conceptual clarification

The concept of corporate sustainability strategy (CSS) suffers from considerable definitional ambiguity. Rather than attempting to create a universally acceptable CSS definition, this study scrutinizes the various uses of different existing definitions. Our two‐step methodology began with a systematic literature review to identify different topical perspectives on CSS. Next, a purposeful sampling approach allowed for a more detailed review of each perspective. As a result, we identified and discussed eight topical perspectives: means‐and‐ends, hierarchical, materiality, geographic‐scope, management‐approach, maturity, actor‐and‐process, and contingency perspectives. These were then compared and integrated into a shared conceptual CSS framework. We found the means‐and‐ends perspective to be most fundamental, as it frames how sustainability shapes the purpose and constraints of strategizing. We refine this perspective by distinguishing among indifferent, instrumental, intrinsic, and integrated CSSs. We conclude with discussions on limitations, suggestions for future research, and managerial implications.
