“…As can be seen, scholars (Agarwal et al, 2007) have paid more attention to the speed and competency variables of supply chain. Though as Soni and Kodali (2016) mention general perceptions among scholars regarding the standard SC constructs still exists. Green et al (2014) define "supply chain competency as a reflection of supply chain performance, as opposed to the performance of the individual partnering firms."…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify factors affecting agile supply chain and evaluate the effect of these factors on profitability. To that end, after reviewing the theoretical foundations of this field, the authors identified the factors affecting supply chain agility and profitability and provided an appropriate conceptual model to measure and verify this relationship. Design/methodology/approach A 48-item questionnaire was prepared and distributed among 270 members of staff and managers of the company from which 240 questionnaire were completed and returned. The response rate was 88 percent. Using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), 37 indicators were selected and redundant questions were excluded. Results were analyzed using the structural equation modeling technique, and the relationships between factors were obtained and the impact of each supply chain agility factor on profitability was determined and prioritized. Findings Through EFA, the indicators related to each supply chain agility factor and profitability were extracted and using the literature, supply chain agility indicators were classified in four factors of speed, responsiveness, competency and flexibility and the indicators related to profitability in one factor, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted accordingly. The CFA results showed that all four factors are significantly associated with profitability, and flexibility has the greatest impact on profitability, and speed has minimal impact on profitability. Research limitations/implications As this study has been done in the context of Iran, cautious should be taken to generalize the results. Originality/value Other studies have examined the effect of agility on business performance and the relationship between them but this study, by providing a comprehensive set of supply chain agility evaluation criteria and indicators and considering all its dimensions, intends to identify the factors affecting supply chain agility and evaluate and determine the effects of these factors on profitability and examine if supply chain agility affects profitability.

“…This is logical and true; especially in terms of Indian firms, in the sense that the good practices of IIS will yield more integration to the supply chain; it will subsequently lead to performance. This inference may not match most of the literature surveyed; however, the presence of the mediating effect of supply chain integration, in conjunction with IIS and Firm performance, is established in the Indian business scenario (Soni and Kodali, 2016).…”

“…Instrument development methods for IIS practices include four stages: Item generation, Pre-pilot study, Pilot study, and Large-scale Data Analysis (Li, 2005). In the first stage of Item generation, items for IIS practice were generated basically on literature review and construct definitions, along with discussion and interviews with supply chain experts and practitioners working under the IS system (Soni and Kodali, 2016).…”

Goal: This Survey-based empirical research is aimed to theorize and assess a structural model that incorporates strategic alliance between Information Intensive Services (IIS) and Supply Chain Integration (SCI) and its impact on Firm Performance (FP), with special reference to Indian business houses. Design / Methodology / Approach: This paper proposes a hypothesis model within the decision-making framework that offers strategic alliance tool for managers in the area of supply chain to operationalize business decisions. Samples of more than 210 primary data sets are collected from population of different industries in India by a proper sampling method and by framing questionnaires. The relationship, as proposed in the hypothesis model, is assessed empirically by using statistical techniques called Structural Equation Modeling. Results: Practitioners may expect improved supply chain performance through strategic alliance between information intensive services and supply chain integration, as it is demanded industries in this Industry 4.0 era. Limitations: The hypothesis framed by western standards seems to be obvious; however, considering the Indian business scenario, where the supply chain and technology of information systems are almost a new concept in most firms, this seems to be a valid area of research. Practical Implications: Research conceptualizes and develops different dimensions of information-intensive services that offer empirical support for the adoption of proper information system to improve performance within an integrated supply chain. Originality / Value: This survey-based empirical research will ‘coordinate and highlight the issue of integration’ of Enterprise Information Systems within the organizational supply chain.

“…Thirupathi and Vinodh (2016) utilized a similar approach to verify the constructs for variables modeled using interpretive structural modeling for sustainable manufacturing in the Indian automotive component sector. A similar analysis was performed by Soni and Kodali (2016a) for measuring different constructs in SCM in the manufacturing industry. Mu et al (2007) used an identical procedure for exploring the success factors of SM in Chinese enterprises.…”

PurposeManufacturing organization has adopted the concept of sustainability to improve the performance of product and process as well as to focus on environmental issues. Despite technological advancements and awareness, there exist several performance obstacles for the implementation of sustainable manufacturing in an organization. The objective of the current study is to identify the performance obstacles, propose a structural model and validate the proposed model.Design/methodology/approachTwelve performance obstacles are identified through critical literature review and discussion with field experts. Primary and secondary factor analysis, that is, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), are used for the creation of the structural model, and further, structural equation modeling is used as a validating tool. EFA deals with the categorization of all performance obstacles in four major criteria, and CFA works for proposing a model for a relationship among all obstacles.FindingsA validated structural model is provided through hypothesis acceptance for structural equation modeling. The outcome of this study can be helpful for decision-makers to incorporate sustainable practices in the manufacturing organization.Originality/valueThis study has extracted and identified performance obstacles for the implementation of sustainable manufacturing based on critical literature review and discussion with field experts. The study proposes as well as validates the structural equation model.
