“…Previous literature has found an association between supply chain management and operational performance [18,19]. In addition, Kristal et al [11] claim that a positive relationship exists between supply chain management and operational performance. Maintaining a collaborative buyer-supplier relationship enables an organization to reduce transaction costs and improve operational performance by improving quality, decreasing lead time, and acquiring flexibility in production capacity [20,21].…”

“…This integration effectively links activities performed by suppliers, distributors, and customers outside the organization, promoting the improvement of operational performance and competitiveness. Supply chain management allows organizations to concentrate on core competency, affects future competitiveness, and changes competition between supply chains rather than between organizations [10,11]. Improving supply chain capabilities is important in order to enhance sustainable competitive advantage between supply chains [12].…”

Accepted: 28 July 2016The aim of this study is to empirically examine the impact of supply chain dynamic capabilities on operational performance, and the mediating effect of technological innovation between dynamic capabilities and operational performance. This study is based on empirical data collected from a survey of 206 small-and medium-size firms in Korea. Structural equation modeling is used to test the research questions. The results show that supply chain dynamic capabilities positively influence technological innovation and operational performance of an enterprise. Additionally, structural equation analyses reveal that technological innovation plays a role as a partial mediator of the relationship between supply chain dynamic capabilities and operational performance. In a dynamic and ever-changing environment, the enforcement of dynamic capabilities in a sustainable supply chain is important for the innovation of technology and the improvement of operational performance. Further investigation is required to understand the differences by industries, characteristics of enterprises, and positions in a supply chain.Keywords supply chain management, dynamic capabilities, supply chain dynamic capabilities, technological innovation, operational performance. IntroductionDue to the acceleration of the global economy, the rapid progress of information technology, and the various expectations of customers, today's business environment is rapidly changing and competition among enterprises has intensified. In the past the technology transfer from one industry to another did not occur or was a slow process. Due to the rapid growth of technological innovation and globalization, a technology developed for one industry is quickly transferred to another. This creates a great ripple effect throughout the industry. This ever-changing business environment prevents enterprises from sustaining their competitive positions as well as from allowing for the time necessary to diagnose changes in the business environment, discover opportunities and risks, and to deal with them in a timely manner.Therefore, the dynamic capabilities theory has been implemented in business environments where dynamic capability is required in order for an organization to remain sustainable. Dynamic capability refers to the capability of an organization to integrate and reorganize its internal and external resources [1][2][3][4]. By implementing the dynamic capabilities theory, an organization is given the opportunity to create enterprise values such as management innovation, sus- Management and Production Engineering Reviewtainable competitive advantage, and operational performance through dynamic capability. The dynamic capabilities theory is based on the resource-based view [5, 6] and the core competency theory [7,8]. According to the resource-based view, organizational performance is created from the capability and differences in resources an organization holds, which are valuable, rare, imperfectly imitable, and nonsubstitutable [6].

Unraveling Platform Strategies: A Review from an Organizational Ambidexterity Perspective

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Abstract:Platform strategies, which highlight the interdependence in and evolution of business ecosystems, are increasingly relevant for sustainable business models in the digital era. So far, platform research has existed as a fragmented body of insights from different fields, but an integrated theoretical perspective can lead to a more coherent understanding of the research overall. Organizational ambidexterity emphasizes the balance between exploration and exploitation, which is particularly conducive to understanding the sustainability of a firm. Using an organizational ambidexterity perspective, the authors analyze five platform strategies: pricing, openness, integration, differentiation, and envelopment. This paper provides a systematic review of the theoretical and empirical studies in leading management, economics, and information systems journals from 2000 to 2016. The findings show that platform strategies can help platform owners achieve ambidexterity by domain, temporal, and organizational separation. Finally, this paper proposes an agenda for future research.

“…Kristal et al [17] discovered the benefits to enterprise performance by use of a combination of an ambidextrous supply chain strategy with competitive capabilities. Therefore, enterprises must always be searching for ways to improve their technical and technological skills and capabilities in R&D [12] and take advantage from the market's requirements.…”

A structural equation model was used to verify both the direct and indirect influences on research and development and innovation capabilities that affect Thai automotive parts enterprises competitive advantage. Thailand’s automotive sector is a major driver of the economy with a multi-thousand network of both domestic and international companies contributing a significant amount to both domestic and Asian economic growth. After peaking in 2013 and reaching the Top 10 automotive nations, there has been a slide backwards. Competition is fierce and the pace of change ever quickening. Therefore, the researchers sought to determine how the automotive parts sector needed to improve in capability, skills and infrastructure to maintain a sustainable competitive advantage. From the structural equation model analysis of 220 regional automotive parts sector managers and use of AMOS software, it was determined that research and development combined with innovation plays key roles in the industry’s profitability and survivability. Additionally, there must be support across a wide sector of the economy, including universities, government agencies and institutions. Once championed as the ‘Detroit of Asia’, Thailand’s recognized success as a global automotive hub is a classic case of a well-executed industrial plan but that lead can potentially slip away without embracing new technologies and innovative thinking.
