| Summary: | Some issues such as inventory management, IT-enablement of supply chains, and buyersupplier relationships are at the core of supply chain research. Some other issues such
as postponement, top management commitment, and disparities in trading partners'
capability influence these core issues. Some hypotheses have been proposed to assess
such influences. Through a questionnaire-based survey for Indian manufacturing
companies, these hypotheses have been tested. It is observed from this research that
information sharing and top management commitment have important roles towards the
effectiveness of a supply chain. The findings also establish relationships among many
important issues of supply chain management. The paper ends with the discussion and
implications of this research. |
