공급사슬의 협력과 성과: 대기업, 중견기업, 중소기업 비교연구

As firms have increasingly realized that their competitive advantage heavily relied on supply chain capabilities, they have paid more attention on collaborative supply chain management focusing on a long-term and partnership-based relationship. This study examines differences in collaborative supply chain management practices and their effects on performance among large-sized, middle-standing, and small-and-medium-sized enterprises. ANOVA and hierarchical regression analysis with a large set of Korean manufacturing sample indicate that the effects of collaborative supply chain management vary along the size characteristics of a firm. The results of this study illustrate that the effects of collaboration differ depending on the three different dimensions of supply chain collaboration (relational, operational, and supportive dimensions of collaboration) and performance as well as firm size, which indicating a strategic approach on supply chain collaboration would be required. This study also provides insightful implications for managers of buyers as well as suppliers how to adopt and implement supply chain collaboration with a strategic and contingent perspective in order to foster stronger supply chain performance.
