Abstract

With organizations concentrating on their core competencies, the role of suppliers and supply chain management has assumed greater importance. The objective of this study was to come up with a composite variable of supply chain competency (SCC) based on different constituent factors, namely, supplier involvement, length of supplier relationship, use of IT, and logistics integration and to analyze its relationship and that of the individual factors with a firm’s supply chain performance (SCP). Survey data was collected from 187 organizations in Brazil, Korea and India. Fuzzy-set methodology was employed to determine causation i.e., whether SCC and other factors were necessary or sufficient cause for SCP. The findings indicate that SCC is both a necessary and sufficient cause for SCP which establishes its importance as an explanatory variable for SCP
