The purpose of this paper is to explore what theoretical lenses have been used to analyze and understand information sharing in supply chains. The paper elaborates on the predominant theories and discusses how they can be integrated to research different aspects of information sharing. Design/methodology/approach – The paper carried out a structured literature review by using a combination of…
The purpose of this research is to remove barriers hindering radio frequency identification (RFID) adoption/diffusion in industries, and help firms develop effective supply chain management (SCM) practices utilizing RFID, by elucidating the specific mechanisms through which RFID influences supply chain performance (SCP). On the basis of the technology-organization-environment framework, this re…
The concept of maritime logistics results from the convergence of maritime transport and supply chains. The paper aims to propose an enhanced logistics service provider (LSP) framework which facilitates LSPs to integrate supply chains in an optimal manner by utilising their unique expertise and experience. In the framework, the enhanced LSP serves as the single contact point for shippers and as…
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate what empirical evidence exists regarding benefits of information sharing in supply chains, and to identify potential gaps and opportunities in this research area. Design/methodology/approach – The authors conducted an in-depth, systematic literature review and multilevel analysis of 82 selected articles. In the analysis, the authors …
The aim of this empirical paper is to study information sharing in fresh food supply chains, with a specific goal of reducing waste and facilitating sustainable performance. The study focuses on material and information flow issues, specifically on sharing demand and shelf-life data.
Effective supply chain practice and information sharing enhances the current supply chain management environment. The purpose of this study is to investigate the integration of information sharing and supply chain practice in supply chain management. Data from 125 North American manufacturing firms were collected. The results show that (1) effective information sharing significantly enhances ef…
