The Antecedents and Consequences of Supply Chain Service Capabilities in the Context of Container Shipping

This study empirically examines the relationships among supply chain integration, supply chain service capabilities, market performance, and financial performance in the container shipping context. The authors collect data from a survey of 133 container shipping operators and agencies in Taiwan, and apply structural equation modeling (SEM) to test the research hypotheses. The authors confirm that supply chain integration has a positive impact on supply chain service capabilities, which in turn helps to enhance market and financial performance. The findings show that supply chain service capabilities act as fully mediating variable between supply chain integration and market performance. The authors also discuss the managerial implications for container shipping firms to improve their supply chain integration, supply chain service capabilities, and firm performance.
