An Empirical Study of the Effect of SCM Practice on Corporate Performance (Based Specifically on the Chinese Manufacturing Industry)

摘要

Few empirical studies on the practical effectiveness of supply chain management (SCM) in Chinese corporations have been conducted. Given this situation, using the Chinese industry as the research target, the current status of SCM practice and its practical effectiveness in China are investigated herein based on the data analysis of well-designed questionnaires. The contribution level of SCM practice to corporate business performance is examined through the construction and estimation of structure equation models. The results of this empirical study could be used as a guidance for the SCM practice in the Chinese manufacturing industry in the future.
