An Integrated Model for Supply Chain Management Components, Supply Chain Performance and Organizational Performance : Purification and Validation of a Measurement Instrument

It is widely argued that competition is no longer between organizations, but among supply chains. Effective supply chain management (SCM) has become a potentially way of securing competitive advantage, improving supply chain performance and organizational performance. This research conceptualizes, develops, and validates three dimensions of SCM components (Supply chain concerns, supply chain competence and supply chain practices), supply chain performance and organizational performance. Data for the study were collected from 255 manufacturing industries and measurement scales were tested and validated using structural equation modeling (SEM). It is hoped that this research study will provide a composite model to assess the causal linkage among the critical components of supply chain and its impact on supply chain performance and organizational performance
