摘要:近年来学界开始着眼于供应链可见性(Supply Chain Visibility,SCV)与企业绩效的关系探究,但现有研究关于SCV对企业绩效的作用强度以及作用方向存在分歧。为了探求SCV与企业绩效之间的关系并加强对该领域的认识,本文通过元分析方法对38篇相关主题的实证研究进行分析,检验了SCV(需求可见性、供给可见性和市场可见性)与企业绩效(财务绩效、运营绩效、市场绩效、社会绩效和环境绩效)之间的关系。结果显示:SCV与企业绩效之间呈中等程度正相关关系(p=0.426,p<0.001)。具体而言,需求可见性和供给可见性均与财务绩效、运营绩效、市场绩效、社会绩效和环境绩效呈正相关关系;市场可见性与运营绩效和社会绩效呈正相关关系,但与财务绩效、市场绩效和环境绩效之间的正相关关系不显著。企业所属地区的经济状态和企业类型的调节效应分析表明:企业所属地区经济状态的不同对于SCV与企业绩效的关系影响无显著差异;与跨国企业相比, 本土企业SCV与企业绩效间关系强度显著提高。本文为后续关于SCV的研究提供了一定的指导意义,也为供应链中的相关决策提供了理论依据。
Abstract: Researchers pay more attention on the relationship between supply chain visibility and firm performance in recent years, but the intensity and direction of the relationship is not clear. In order to explore the relationship between SCV and firm performance, we use meta-analysis to provide a quantitative review of the empirical literature in SCV. This paper chooses 38 related-topic empirical studies as independent samples to explore the relationship between SCV (demand visibility, supply visibility and market visibility) and firm performance (financial performance, operation performance, market performance, social performance and environmental performance). The results show that a positive and significant correlation between SCV and firm performance (p = 0.426, p < 0.001). Specifically, demand visibility and supply visibility are positively correlated with financial performance, operational performance, market performance, social performance and environmental performance; Market visibility is positively correlated with operational performance and social performance, but not with financial performance, market performance and environmental performance. A sub-group analysis, using economy status developed/developing) and firm type (local/multinational), was also performed to study the relative strength of the relationship in respective categories. This study not only offers a guidance for the future research, but also provides a theoretical basis and some interesting insights for managers in the supply chain management.
