An examination of cultural competitiveness and order fulfillment cycle time within supply chains
Abstract
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.
