“…At the same time, we found that the existing literature has focused more on the specific digital technologies and a series of behaviors exhibited during the development and application process of the execution layer, for example, the inherent characteristics of systems such as business intelligence (Ana Marija Stjepi 'et al, 2020) [32], blockchain technology (Saleem Malik et al, 2021) [33], Cloud ERP (Damali, U et al, 2021) [34], and the application of infrastructure such as information systems (Sven Vegard Buer et al, 2020; Tzu Chieh Lin et al, 2020) [10,35]. However, unlike existing research, this study found that for the execution level, digital transformation may not necessarily help organizations maintain sustainable growth (Wei Haiying, 2021) [36] or increase the demand for highquality human and knowledge capital, promoting the improvement of capital structures (Sun Yuping et al, 2019) [37].…”

Based on data from A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen between 2007 and 2020, this study categorizes enterprises into decision-making and execution levels. We found that a high degree of digital transformation at the decision-making level enhances enterprise performance, while excessive transformation at the execution level diminishes performance. We tested the influence of the digital transformation degree of the decision-making layer and the executive layer on enterprise performance by constructing an econometric model. The mechanism behind the results was tested, and the influence mechanism between digital transformation and enterprise performance was explored from the perspective of TOE theory. Mechanism analysis showed that digital transformation impacts performance by increasing R&D investment, driving revenue growth, and enabling the efficient use of government subsidies. Managing decision-level expenses also strengthens performance and supports digital transformation. This research offers fresh insights into how technology drives digital transformation in a changing external environment, guiding management at different hierarchical levels in enterprises.

“…Nowadays, even process-related practices are heavily intertwined with technology applications, rendering this categorization less relevant. Previous research on SCMPs focuses on specific technologies such as ERP, EDI, RFID, and e-Business-related applications or investigates SCM concepts that are enabled by various technologies [9]. This fosters the basic view that SCMPs share a common critical enabler, namely technology, and their adoption can be studied by examining the underlying technologies.…”

A Holistic View on the Adoption and Cost-Effectiveness of Technology-Driven Supply Chain Management Practices in Healthcare

et al. 2023

Healthcare supply chains are complex systems facing challenges in delivering high-quality care while maintaining cost-effectiveness. Research on inventory management and control, the heart of the healthcare supply system, has demonstrated that these targets can be reached by managing inventories efficiently while aiming at desired service levels. Although this can be enabled by adopting various supply chain management practices, the healthcare sector appears to lag compared to other industries. Seeking to investigate these aspects, this study draws on operations management literature, identifies and categorizes technology-driven supply chain management practices that are applied in hospital operations, develops a holistic conceptual framework delineating the key factors influencing their adoption in healthcare facilities, and examines their aggregated impact on financial performance. The research model is tested using structural equation modeling with survey data collected from Greek public hospitals. The study results indicate that technological readiness, organizational readiness, perceived benefits, and hospital size significantly influence the adoption of these practices in hospital supply chains. Moreover, they show a statistically significant association between the supply chain management practices applied and improved hospital cost performance, suggesting greater urgency for hospitals to exploit them fully. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.

Influential Characteristics and Benefits of Cloud ERP Adoption in New Zealand SMEs: A Vendors’ Perspective

2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Cloud enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are hosted services offering opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that often lack IT resources. Few studies have examined the adoption of cloud ERP systems in SMEs, specifically, from the perspective of cloud ERP vendors who are the domain experts. Drawing on vendors' perspectives in the New Zealand (NZ) context, this paper evaluates the influential characteristics for adopting cloud ERP systems in SMEs. The paper uses an integrative model combining the technological, organizational, and environmental (TOE) framework with the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) based on individual dimension for a holistic evaluation. Findings reveal novel characteristics including system reliability and data security that influence adoption of cloud ERP. Further, benefits are identified such as reduced cost and time for deployment, increased scalability, and improved accessibility. The paper presents new insights that can help SME managers successfully adopt cloud ERP in their firms in addition to providing practical guidelines for adoption in NZ. The development of a theoretical model integrating TOE and UTAUT is a novel approach, substantially contributing to the body of knowledge.
