International Journal Logistic Management: The road to supply chain agility: an RBV perspective on the role of logistics capabilities

---

Abstract
Purpose – The concept of supply chain agility (SCA) has been identified as one of the most important
issues in supply chain management literature. However, despite the popularity of the concept,
many attributes of SCA are largely unexplored. One area that is deficient in research is the antecedents
of SCA. This paper aims to seek further theory development by addressing these gaps in the SCA
literature.
Design/methodology/approach – Data for this study were obtained from a field survey. A mail
questionnaire was constructed that contained items measuring the constructs of interest. The
theoretical model was evaluated using structural equation modeling.
Findings – The findings indicate that logistics capabilities positively impact SCA. The results
provide empirical evidence for logistics’ unique and critical role in helping firms respond in a timely
and effective manner to market volatility and other uncertainties.
Research limitations/implications – As is the case with most supply chain survey research, the
constructs of interest were evaluated based on the perception of a single party involved in a specific
relationship. Future research using multiple dyads or triads within various supply chains could
address this limitation.
Practical implications – If limited resources are available for investment (as is often the
case), a more balanced distribution of resources toward the development of multiple logistics
capabilities (e.g. demand-management interface, information-management interface) is preferred to
pooling all the resources toward the development of a single capability (e.g. information-management
interface).
Originality/value – Considering logistics’ boundary-spanning nature, prior research suggest that
logistics capabilities perform a key role in achieving SCA. However, the relationship between
firm-specific logistics capabilities and SCA has not been empirically tested. This paper address that
gap in the research.
