摘要

Supply chains are increasingly important, yet little is known about the determinants of their success and failure. Drawing on the resource-based view and research on adhocracy, in this study we examined the effects of cultural competitiveness within supply chains on order fulfillment cycle time. The results indicate that entrepreneurship, innovativeness, and learning function as first-order indicators of a higher-order latent construct we label cultural competitiveness that, in turn, has a positive effect on cycle time reduction.
