Abstract: | Drawing on the resource-based view and theory from the organizational learning and information-processing literatures, this study explores the influence of a culture of competitiveness (here as: clt-comp.) and knowledge development (as: knw-dvp.) on supply chain performance in varied market turbulence (as: mkt-turb.) conditions. Based on a sample of 201 firms, it is found that synergies exist btw. a clt-comp. and knw-dvp.: their interaction has a positive association with performance. Furthermore, based on behavioural and contingency theories, it is found among others that mkt-turb. moderates the relationships, having a positive influence on the knw-dvp.–performance link and a negative influence on the clt-comp.–performance link etc. |
