Moderated Mediation Model

The supply chain management theory is advanced by a joint investigation of the mediating role of (a) supply chain responsiveness (SCR) (e.g., operation, logistic and supplier network responsiveness) in linking supply chain management practices (SCMP) with product development (PD) and (b) the moderating role of organization structure (OS) and research and development (R&D) in influencing the mediation. Using K. J. Preacher, D. D. Rucker and A. F. Hayes’s [Addressing moderated mediation hypotheses: Theory, methods, and prescriptions, Multivariate Behavioral Research 42(1) (2007) 185–227] moderated mediation framework, the authors tested the model with survey data from 210 White-collars of national and multinational fast moving consumer goods companies operating in Pakistan. Results showed that SCR mediated the relationship between supply chain management practices with product development. Moderated mediation analyses further revealed that organization structure moderated the mediation for supply chain management practices with supply chain responsiveness, whereas research and development moderated the mediation for supply chain responsiveness and product development. Additionally, theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Practical Implications

The main purpose of this chapter is to present a possible alternative for optimization of supply chain management. The chapter discusses the virtual organization as an important tool for optimization of supply chain management. A simple model for discussing organization of supply chain is introduced, which serves as an important starting point for assessing the current organization of the supply chain. Issues regarding collaboration between supply chain members are often emphasized in small, emerging economies in Central Europe. In these economies, supply chain management practices are not in the forefront. This chapter addresses issues regarding the collaboration of supply chain members based on a proposed model that can help responsible peoples in organizations to assess the current state of collaboration and show possible further directions in optimizing supply chain management, based on an increasing amount of virtual collaboration. In terms of practical implications, usage of selected tools in the frame of the proposed model of virtual organization is discussed, where usage, benefits, and drawbacks are outlined.
