Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Internet has become an integral part of business activities of most corporations today. Electronic supply chain management (SCM) can improve the operational efficiency of the firm by streamlining processes between the company and its suppliers, business partners, and customers. This research explores the extent and the degree of Internet application in Swedish small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The analyses of the data show that the Swedish SMEs use the Internet in their supply chain activities to a large degree. The study establishes some differences between smaller and larger organizations as well as between manufacturing and service companies.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose – This article aims to explore the impact of supply chain integration on the financial performance of Swedish manufacturing firms.Design/methodology/approach – The literature review provided the foundation for the development of the survey instrument and hypotheses for the study. In addition, the survey instrument was tested by the experts in the field and modified before it was sent to the managers in the survey group.Findings – The findings show that supply chain integration at any level is beneficial to the financial well being of the firm. Companies with total supply chain integration reported the highest level of financial performance.Research limitations/implications – Data were collected from Swedish manufacturing firms without regard to the size of the firm. The results show that supply chain integration is beneficial at any level.Practical implications – The findings will assist managers with decisions regarding supply chain integration and its role as a critical factor in improving the financial performance of manufacturing companies.Originality/value – Limited empirical studies have been conducted in this area, especially in Sweden. This study provides insight for manufacturing managers with regard to the importance of supply chain management and the competitive nature of business in the global market.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- For decades, corporations have developed strategies and adopted new methods to integrate business processes and activities in order to improve firm performance and achieve both effectiveness and efficiency in their operations. Recently, many firms have focused on integrating both internal and external business activities of their supply chain into a standardized system. The supply chain system extends beyond the boundaries of a firm, considering the costs of all materials flows until products reach the final costumer. This study explores the extent of supply chain integration on the financial performance of the Swedish manufacturing firms.

Achieving tourist loyalty through destination personality, satisfaction,and identification
- 2015
-
Ingår i: Journal of Business Research. - : Elsevier. - 0148-2963 .- 1873-7978. ; 68:11, s. 2227-2231
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The general marketing literature suggests that brand personality, satisfaction, and customer identification with the brand are important drivers of consumer behavior in several contexts. Yet, the literature lacks studies on these constructs' role in tourist behavior. In an endeavor to overcome this research deficit, this study explores the interrelationships among destination personality, tourist satisfaction, and tourist–destination identification, and the extent to which they are important in influencing positive word-of-mouth and revisit intentions. The study employs structural equation modeling to analyze data from 490 Taiwanese consumers reporting on their most recently visited tourism destinations. Findings indicate that (1) destination personality promotes tourist satisfaction, tourist–destination identification, positive word-of-mouth, and revisit intentions; (2) satisfaction encourages identification and word-of-mouth; and (3) identification enhances word-of-mouth and revisit intentions. The paper provides theoretical and managerial implications.

Adoption of enterprise systems : antecedents and consequences in service firms – a conceptual model proposition
- 2013
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The growing trend toward enterprise systems (ES) adoption serves to highlight a number of issues that merit careful managerial consideration. We present a conceptual model delineating the antecedents and consequences of ES adoption based on scholarly insights from multiple literature streams. Managers should consider that in order to improve firm performance by ES adoption, they need to embed these systems in supply chain integration and competition capabilities. In this context, we highlight the supply chain integration, competition capabilities, firm performance and other issues.

Adoption of Enterprise Systems and Radio Frequency Identification among Service Firms
- 2011
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- For optimizing supply chain processes a promising technology is Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). By adding functionality to previous enterprise systems, the aim is to increase transparency of information throughout the supply chain. In this paper, we present a survey of RFID implementation in Swedish service firms, concerned with RFID system penetration. The findings show that although the great majority of firms are actively working with integrated information systems, only a very small fraction has adopted RFID.

Strategic use of enterprise systems among service firms : Antecedents and consequences

-
Ingår i: Journal of Business Research. - : Elsevier. - 0148-2963 .- 1873-7978. ; 68:7, s. 1544-1549

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- As competition in the service sector is continuously intensifying, managers are increasingly realizing how effective use of enterprise systems (ESs) might improve competition capabilities. Building on previous work that explores ESs and supply chain integration, this study investigates antecedents and consequences of ES usage among service firms. Following an empirical study using data from 233 Swedish retail and wholesale service providers, findings indicate that internal reasons such as access to new markets and anticipated performance, rather than external pressure, drive ES adoption. The study further reveals that ES usage relates positively to supply chain integration, which subsequently relates to firm performance via the mediating variable of competition capabilities. This study contributes by synthesizing previously separate constructs into a coherent research model that is both empirically viable and integrative. The study concludes by discussing implications for theory building and management practice.

Unity is strength : A study of supplier relationship management integration
- 2016

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Researches on the supply chain management within the last decade demonstrate that business processes integration can increase the performance effectiveness and efficiency across the chain. This study intends to investigate the integration of the supplier relationship management (SRM) process between the manufacturer and its first upstream tier of suppliers within the construction equipment industry. This research also strives to identify the potential obstacles to the SRM integration and provides solution suggestions to overcome these barriers. In this regard, the review of the literature and subsequent analyses of the empirical findings from European construction equipment manufacturers illustrate that the SRM process integration can take place through the integration of its several sub-processes into strategic and operational characteristics. In this context, the lack of goal congruence, commitment, and trust between the manufacturer and its supplier are the major potential barriers to the SRM integration. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc.
