EasyChair Preprint no. 2854

Abstract

Supply chain competence is one of the most critical core competences for many enterprises in the era of global transactions and electronic commerce. However, the role of supply chain competence has seldom been addressed in the research of competitive strategy. This paper investigates the impact of business level strategy on supply chain competence. In this study, business strategies were classified into four different types and the intensity of supply chain competence of the strategy types were compared. Empirical data from enterprises were collected and analyzed to assess the significance of the differences from the comparison.  The results supported our hypotheses and the implications for management decisions are discussed.
