The country context in Triple-A supply chains: an advanced PLS–SEM research study in emerging vs developed countries

What is it about?

First empirical research study that analyzes the effect of the country context on the Triple-A SC - CA relationship and the importance of each of the Triple-A SC dimensions (adaptability-agility-alignment) as well as their possible synergy effect when pursuing CA using a multi-informant international sample taken from different country contexts. Using advanced PLS-SEM it was found that: a) A significant positive relationship between the Triple-A SC and CA in the full sample and in the two separate samples of emerging and developed countries.b) For managers, this work shows that Triple A should be considered in the design of global SCs irrespective of the country context and it offers a first approach to determining the Triple A-SC levers that must be taken into consideration when pursuing a CA.
