Abstract

The current study has placed an effort to disclose the application of the social capital theory in the supply chain. The Thai global buyers’ firms are taken as the final sample of the study. The SEM-PLS is used to analyze the data.  It has been revealed in the present research that the focus of social capital is on the creation and knowledge sharing within and across the organizations. This is also indicated by the current research. It has been argued by the prior studies that the use of different organization and outcomes of social capital will benefit the future research including the factors of cost, quality, and flexibility. It has been indicated by the results of current research that social capital theory can be applied to the relation of buyer and supplier with reference to the development of supplier. The statement that there is need for more investigation for the various dimensions of social capital related to relational embeddedness, structural embeddedness and cognitive dimension. It is found that the achievements of buyer performance in the form of total cost is explained by the relational capital in terms of buyer-supplier dependence and cognitive capital in shared values, and structural capital in terms of activities of supplier development. Cognitive capital and relationship commitment are the common explanatory variables for the both performance dimensions.

Abstract

The current study is carried out to explore role of big data analytics in the relationship among the collaboration types, supply chain management and market performance of Thai manufacturing firms. It has been revealed through literature review that collaboration among the firms is more than just coordination. It is referred as inter-firm interaction with key focus on strategies. This type of collaboration can be witnessed in two different ways, which include STRC and SYSCL [1] . The concepts of STRC and SYSCL have not been recognized separately in literature as they create difference influences on the performance of firm. The study has employed the SEM-PLS to analyze the data. The study broached an argument that the system collaboration includes coordination, sharing of information, and activities management for planning and forecasting of demand. The next level of inter-firm interaction is the STRC. In this advanced level, achievements are more than just SYSCL. The level with which the partners in supply chain plan different business activities with the shared vision to improve the performance of each other is referred as STRC.
