International Journal of Information Systems and Change Management (IJISCM), Vol. 14, No. 1, 2024

Abstract: Supply chain agility is a crucial capability that enables organisations to respond promptly to market changes, customer demands, and disruptions. It helps to optimise operations, reduce lead times, enhance customer satisfaction, and maintain a competitive edge in dynamic business environments. This study attempts to uncover the relationships among supply chain agility dimensions (SCAD) (i.e., alertness, accessibility, decisiveness, swiftness, and flexibility), supply chain performance (SCP), and firm performance (FP) in the context of China based on resource-based view (RBV) theory and practices. Using a sample size of 759, we calculated the results based on SmartPLS. First, results indicated a positive connection between SCAD and firm performance. Second, this study found a positive correlation between the SCAD variable and FP. Finally, the study confirmed a significant mediation of SCP between SCADs and FP. Furthermore, the study enlists fruitful suggestions for the organisations along with theoretical and managerial implications for the management.
