Supply Chain Management Study Review

Singhry (2015) identifies a number of issues that affect supply chain management effectiveness. This identification serves as the problem or gap in literature that the study attempts to address. The problems are several, from "weak corporate technological culture" to "technological paradox" (a phrase that is not defined), and the apparent issues are technology-related (Singhry, 2015, p. 259). However, Singhry (2015) also cites the conflicting data produced by studies related to the relationship of supply chain tech and performance. The main goal of the study is to provide a guide for how to improve performance in the supply chain management area.

Singhry's research (2015) is effective in its ability to address specific issues, such as establishing a theoretical background for the study. He defines technology adequately by stating that it is a "dynamic capability" against the concept of collaboration which he posits is a "dynamic process." The point is that the two work together, with technology acting as the tool in the process of collaboration. The more dynamic a company is, the more likely it is to be competitive. This is a reasonable assertion in terms of establishing a framework and it serves the purposes of the study well by providing an adequate lens through which to view the data.

The hypothesis holds that innovative capabilities are essential to the relationship of supply chain tech and performance, asserting that this previously undefined role can be clarified through the application of this study.

It is a legitimate hypothesis based on the analysis of several factors within the industry and a study of the relevant literature. It is supported by various studies and their findings so does not come across as mere hyperbole or a shot in the dark. It is sound, well-researched and a satisfying thesis that is tested quantitatively using a cross-sectional survey (Singhry, 2015, p. 261). The instruments used in the research are shown to "have been validated" by other studies so there is no question of whether they are adequate (Singhry, 2015, p. 261). The Likert scale is used to define data and this is an acceptable practice and the "construct, convergent and discriminant validities were assessed" (Singhry, 2015, p. 264). In this portion of the study, previous research was used as a guide for how to assess these various validities.

Likewise, the structural model of the research was based on the work of Baron, Kenny (1986) as well….....
