Reconceptualization of information technology flexibility for supply chain management: An empirical study

(چکیده مقاله) :
Abstract :

IT flexibility is an increasingly important factor in today's dynamic business environment. However, earlier
research lacks 1) an integrated framework that corresponds to diverse processes for supply chain management
and 2) an explanation of how IT flexibility affects firms’ performance in the supply chain context. To fill these
gaps, our study theorised a research model by integrating disparate streams of IT flexibility research with three
types of IT flexibility, namely, operational, transactional, and strategic, and tested both the direct and indirect
effects of the three IT flexibility types on firm performance. Our theoretical model uses an extended resourcebased
view to highlight the role of IT flexibility in managing interdependent firm relationships in supply chains.
Using a partial least squares approach to structured equation modelling analysis on 162 questionnaires from
supply chain practitioners, we found two significant relationships: (1) transactional IT flexibility affects
operational IT flexibility, and (2) operational IT flexibility affects strategic IT flexibility. Transactional IT
flexibility also affects strategic IT flexibility, thus playing a pivotal role in the effectiveness of the other two
flexibility types. In addition, it was identified that transactional and operational flexibilities affect firm
performance indirectly, via process integration capability, while strategic flexibility directly affects firm
performance. By classifying diverse IT flexibility attributes into three types, a comprehensive and explicit
concept of IT flexibility in inter-o
