Supply Chain Organizational Learning, Exploration, Exploitation, and Firm Performance: A Creation-Dispersion Perspective

۰ تومان

We introduce and empirically test the creation-dispersion model of supply chain organizational learning to align learning orientations in a supply chain context. Our paper seeks to advance the knowledge on supply chain organizational learning by showing that four distinct supply chain learning orientations (team, learning, memory, and systems), previously studied only as a collective, can be parsed strategically. We parse these four learning orientations into creation capacity (team and learning orientations) and dispersion capacity (memory and system orientations). The creation and dispersion capacity can enhance exploration (long-term) and exploitation (short-term) practices respectively in supply chain organizations. We used a survey questionnaire to collect data from 128 respondents belonging to firms of various sizes and different industries. We find that creation capacity is positively associated with exploration and indirectly associated with exploitation through exploration. Dispersion capacity is associated with exploitation and indirectly influences market share and profitability through exploitation. The findings demonstrate that creation and dispersion-based combinations of supply chain learning orientations coalesce to influence exploration and exploitation practices. We discuss the implications for supply chain organizational learning literature.

ABSTRACT

We introduce and empirically test the creation-dispersion model of supply chain organizational learning to align learning orientations in a supply chain context. Our paper seeks to advance the knowledge on supply chain organizational learning by showing that four distinct supply chain learning orientations (team, learning, memory, and systems), previously studied only as a collective, can be parsed strategically. We parse these four learning orientations into creation capacity (team and learning orientations) and dispersion capacity (memory and system orientations). The creation and dispersion capacity can enhance exploration (long-term) and exploitation (short-term) practices respectively in supply chain organizations. We used a survey questionnaire to collect data from 128 respondents belonging to firms of various sizes and different industries. We find that creation capacity is positively associated with exploration and indirectly associated with exploitation through exploration. Dispersion capacity is associated with exploitation and indirectly influences market share and profitability through exploitation. The findings demonstrate that creation and dispersion-based combinations of supply chain learning orientations coalesce to influence exploration and exploitation practices. We discuss the implications for supply chain organizational learning literature.

 

INTRODUCTION

As a vital operating system, the supply chain of an organization is responsible for up to 90 percent of an organization’s cost base (O’Byrne, 2016). Supply chain function is undergirded in nearly every aspect of an organization’s operations and requires coordination and cooperation within the organization and with entities external to the organization, including the critical connection to the customer (Marchese and Lam, 2015). Jim Owens, a former Caterpillar CEO, feels that “the competitor that’s best at managing the supply chain is probably going to be the most successful competitor over time” (Malik et al., 2011, p. 2). The challenge of simultaneous
management of exploration and exploitation practices is pronounced in the supply chains (Lauer, 2014; Gualandris et al., 2018; Turner et al., 2018). Supply chain functions have the unique challenge to minimize inventory levels, drive down costs, and deliver flawless customer service (exploitative practices), while looking towards new technologies and practices that will allow operational innovation and flexibility (explorative practices) (Marchese  and Dollar, 2015; PwC,2015).
