Abstract

Although e-commerce technology has greatly improved the efficiency of supply chain, the poor coordination capability for enterprises on the e-supply chain restricted the further improvement of firm performance. And studies on how to improve e-supply chain coordination capability become necessary. In this research, based on the resource-based view (RBV) of firms and transaction cost economics (TCE), we propose a model of e-supply chain coordination capability to describe antecedents and consequences of e-supply chain coordination capability for enterprises, and specifically explore the relationship among inter-organisational IT-related resources, e-supply chain coordination capability (ESCC) and firm performance. We use the method of partial least square (PLS) to verify theoretical model. The results show that: 1) the improvement of supply chain partnership rely on inter-organisational information system (IOS); 2) firms should pay the same attention to establish IOS and good relationships with their partners on the supply chain; 3) firms should evaluate the impact of e-supply chain coordination capability on firm performance through process performance directly, but rather through financial performance.
