Abstract:Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to propose a model to test the relationship between supply chain collaboration (SCC) and organizational responsiveness. Three types of information technology (IT) capability are considered as moderators in this relationship.
Design/methodology/approach
The study conducted a questionnaire survey of 208 firms from various industries in China. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses.
Findings
SCC positively affects organizational responsiveness. Bo… Show more
“…Supply chain engagement is a market-segmented value chain collaboration agreement to help achieve business goals. Cai, Huang, Liu, & Liang (2016) define supply chain collaboration with "a process of partnership between two or more interconnected firms working accurately to plan and implement supply chain operations toward mutual and mutually beneficial goals". Based on this, the supply chain indicator is adopted from Cai, Huang, Liu, & Liang (2016), such as; making decisions together, designing products together, contributing to the improvement and sharing of information.…”
The ability of firm's market knowledge in relationships with employee engagement and customer engagement becomes crucial in a marketing strategy. However, the role of marketing function to achieve competitive advantage is still a question of improving business performance. Empirically, there is a need to explore marketing and operational capabilities by involving the supply chain in marketing strategies. Through the views of Dynamic Capability (DC) and service logic, we combine it in a conceptual model that produces several hypotheses. A total of 250 MSME (Micro Small and Medium Enterprises) are involved to answer the questionnaire. Respondents' perceptions reveal that the supply chain has essentially opened itself into an engagement for mutual value creation and sustainability. Our findings also reveal that supply chain engagement can improve business performance and positively mediate employee engagement, but it is unable to mediate customer engagement. In contrast, supply chain engagement is insignificant when market knowledge, customer engagement and employee engagement are directly linked to business performance. In addition, our findings also resulted in an insight for management in optimizing the firm's ability to perform its marketing functions

Además de tener una evaluación total, en las manos de los directores de la Sociedad del Conocimiento se colabora con calidad y puntualidad en sus capítulos, cada contribución individual fue arbitrada a estándares internacionales (RESEARCH GATE, MENDELEY, GOOGLE SCHOLAR y REDIB), el Book propone así a la comunidad académica, los informes recientes sobre los nuevos progresos en las áreas más interesantes y prometedoras de investigación en la función de la Universidad ante los retos de la Sociedad del Conocimiento.
“…This is because supply chain collaboration will enhance the communication among team members, which will reduce the errors in the supply chain operations. So, the supply chain collaboration will enhance productivity and increase the trust level between supply chain partners to achieve competitive advantage and organizational goals [36], [42]- [44].…”
The technological transformation has led to the introduction of mini computers as wearable computers which facilitate users to use the Internet, different applications, messaging, and for calls all on one platform. The focus of these wearable computers in earlier studies has been on consumers and technical aspects, and their application has not been explored from an organizational perspective. This means that the recent introduction of wearable technology has great potential, which is untapped in the organizational context, especially for supply chain collaboration (SC). In this study, wearable technology is thought to offer huge potential for organizations in SC. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to empirically examine the role of wearable technology i.e. Smartwatch in enhancing collaboration among supply chain members with mediating roles of green training (GT) and emotional intelligence (EI). The population of this study is the pharmaceutical industry in Pakistan. Simple random sampling method has been used to collect data from 150 sample size. Data have been collected through offline and online survey method. Data have been analyzed through partial least square-structure equation modeling (PLS-SEM) technique. The results of this study have empirically tested the established conceptual framework. Continuance intention to use smartwatch has a positive effect on SC. Furthermore, GT and EI have mediating roles between continuance intention to use smartwatch and SC. It is concluded that the continuance intention to use smartwatch will increase SC. GT and EI will strengthen the relationship between continuance intention to use smartwatch and SC. The use of wearable technology will motivate employees to communicate rapidly and to monitor their supply chain activities using web-based and other applications. This study has practical implications in organizations and theoretical contribution to literature.INDEX TERMS Internet of things, emotional intelligence, green training, smart watch, supply chain collaboration, theory of planned behavior, wearable technologies.
