| Summary: | Increased globalisation and the need for greater organisational
integration has led the argument back to the possibility of achieving
competitive advantage through improved supply chain coordination and
management. Location, as a factor, is logically an important element which
might affect the performance of the entire supply chain. However, this is also
one of the least studied element in supply chain management. This research
aims to study the possible effects that location variables might have on the
performance of the supply chain. An analytical framework connecting
location variables with the uncertainties and the performance of the supply
chain is presented. This framework is tested through a questionnaire survey
based empirical method of investigation. |
