Purpose

This study examines the use of a dynamic value-based approach to analyze the business model structuration of smart service providers in Brazil, mapping their value creation, configuration and appropriation strategies, and determining how well-defined their current business models are.

Design/methodology/approach

This is a qualitative study based on semi-structured interviews with entrepreneurs (or CEOs and directors of technology) of seven business ventures in three different phases of business model structuration: (1) academic: companies or innovation and research centers linked to universities; (2) startups: technology-based companies originating from the technological needs of clients, be they new branches of the traditional business of incumbents or new entrants and (3) autonomous service providers whose offerings are related to master’s or doctoral projects.

Findings

We propose a typology of business model structuration with four stages. At first (individual or initial business model), albeit with high skilling of owners, only manual or adaptation services are offered. In the second stage (platform business model), although services offered are oriented toward the entire process automatization of the client (Factory integrated), technologies are restricted to the client company (or even one department) and these clients' needs are mainly data processing and connectivity. In the third stage (scaling digital business model), although the services offered are oriented toward greater digitalization through an entire array of field devices connected to the internet (IoT) and organized in a more formalized structure, the business model is still being constructed, companies in this stage are mainly startups. In the fourth stage (innovation ecosystem business model), the entire manufacturing process is digitized, with integration and network connectivity, both between service providers and the extended supply chain of their clients, and new technologies are customized and developed through the interaction of a whole innovation ecosystem.

Research limitations/implications

Mapping value-based strategies aids in understanding business model structuration in Industry 4.0. Future research should focus on parameterizing the dimensions founded of each value strategy.

Originality/value

This study advances the comprehension of the business model in |Industry 4.0 by providing a value-based strategy perspective of business model structuration. Practically, by focusing on smart service providers, it contributes to a greater understanding of smart service providers in Brazil and their strategic challenges.

目的本研究探讨了如何使用基于动态价值的方法来分析巴西智能服务提供商的商业模式结构,绘制其价值创造、配置和分配战略图,并确定其当前商业模式的明确程度。设计/方法/途径这是一项基于半结构化访谈的定性研究,访谈对象是处于商业模式结构化三个不同阶段的七家企业的企业家(或首席执行官和技术总监):(1) 学术型:与大学有联系的公司或创新和研究中心;(2) 初创企业:基于客户技术需求的技术型公司,无论是现有企业传统业务的新分支还是新进入者;(3) 自主服务提供商,其产品与硕士或博士项目相关。研究结果我们提出了一种商业模式结构类型学,分为四个阶段。第一阶段(个人或初始商业模式),尽管所有者的技能水平较高,但只提供手工或适应性服务。在第二阶段(平台业务模式),虽然提供的服务面向客户的整个流程自动化(工厂集成),但技术仅限于客户公司(甚至一个部门),这些客户的需求主要是数据处理和连接。在第三阶段(扩展数字化商业模式),虽然所提供的服务是通过与互联网(物联网)相连的一系列现场设备实现更大程度的数字化,并以更正规的结构组织起来,但商业模式仍在构建之中,处于这一阶段的公司主要是初创企业。在第四阶段(创新生态系统商业模式),整个制造过程实现了数字化,服务提供商与其客户的延伸供应链之间实现了集成和网络连接,新技术通过整个创新生态系统的互动得到定制和开发。未来的研究应侧重于对每种价值战略所建立的维度进行参数化。原创性/价值本研究通过提供基于价值战略的商业模式结构化视角,推进了对工业 4.0 中商业模式的理解。实际上,通过关注智能服务提供商,本研究有助于更好地了解巴西的智能服务提供商及其面临的战略挑战。

Purpose

Digitalization and supply chain collaboration are central to the successful servitization of manufacturing firms. However, how digitalization interacts with supply chain structure to affect servitization decisions in manufacturing firms has been understudied. In this study, we bridge resource dependence theory (RDT) and information processing theory (IPT) to examine how supply chain concentration interacts with digitalization to affect servitization decisions in manufacturing firms.

Design/methodology/approach

We tested the hypotheses using a panel dataset of 1,261 publicly listed machinery manufacturing firms in China. We addressed the endogeneity concerns using the control function approach and conducted multiple tests to ensure the robustness of the results.

Findings

We find that both supplier and customer concentration are negatively related to servitization, indicating that concentrated supplier and customer bases are hindrances to manufacturing servitization. Digitalization weakens the negative impact of customer concentration on servitization, but it strengthens the negative impact of supplier concentration on servitization.

Originality/value

The findings extend our understanding of supply chain structure and digitalization as determinants of servitization. This research also offers a nuanced view of how digitalization mitigates the negative impacts of supply chain concentration.

目的数字化和供应链协作是制造企业成功实现服务化的核心。然而,数字化如何与供应链结构相互作用,从而影响制造业企业的服务化决策,这方面的研究还不够深入。在本研究中,我们将资源依赖理论(RDT)和信息处理理论(IPT)结合起来,研究供应链集中度如何与数字化相互作用,从而影响制造业企业的服务化决策。我们使用控制函数法解决了内生性问题,并进行了多重检验以确保结果的稳健性。研究结果我们发现,供应商和客户集中度均与服务化负相关,这表明集中的供应商和客户群是制造业服务化的障碍。数字化削弱了客户集中度对服务化的负面影响,但加强了供应商集中度对服务化的负面影响。这项研究还为数字化如何减轻供应链集中的负面影响提供了一个细致入微的视角。

Purpose

This research analyses the linkages between green manufacturing (GM) and manufacturing performance (MP) dimensions comprising sustainable performance (SuP) (economic [EcP], social [SP] and environmental [ENP]) and operational performance (OP) with supply chain alertness (SCAL) and supply chain preparedness (SCP) as mediators.

Design/methodology/approach

This deductive-quantitative approach embraces the explanatory design. It analyses 285 datasets gathered from structured questionnaires via structural equation modelling.

Findings

The study found that GM, SCAL and SCP significantly improve manufacturing firms' operational and sustainable performance. Also, SCP and SCAL partially mediate the GM-MP correlations among manufacturing firms in Ghana, a developing economy.

Research limitations/implications

The paper is limited to the quantitative methodologies given its relevance in examining causal relationships among constructs. Also, it was conducted within the scope of manufacturing firms in developing economies, specifically Ghana. Despite the limitations, the study's outcomes imply that manufacturing firms can perform well in sustainable and operational aspects if they prioritise green manufacturing practices, supply chain preparedness and alertness.

Practical implications

This research offers new insights into the significant contributions of adopting the GM practice to MP (SuP and OP). Also, it advocates for more investments into GM, SCAL and SCP to ensure sustainability in today's highly disruptive manufacturing environment, leading to superior manufacturing performance. The study provides relevant directions for policymakers, industry players and supply chain practitioners in adopting GM throughout their production processes to attain manufacturing performance targets.

Social implications

By advocating for sustainable manufacturing practices like green, the study contributes to a cleaner environment, resource conservation, and ultimately, a more sustainable future. The shift towards eco-friendly production methods can influence public attitudes towards manufacturing and promote environmentally conscious practices.

Originality/value

The study's originality lies in examining the mediation roles of SCAL and SCP on the GM-MP nexus of manufacturing industries in a developing economy, where environmental sustainability and disruptions along supply chains are becoming major concerns.

目的本研究分析了绿色制造(GM)与可持续绩效(SuP)(经济[EcP]、社会[SP]和环境[ENP])和运营绩效(OP)等制造绩效(MP)维度之间的联系,并以供应链警觉性(SCAL)和供应链准备性(SCP)作为中介。研究发现,GM、SCAL 和 SCP 能显著提高制造企业的运营和可持续绩效。此外,SCP 和 SCAL 部分调节了加纳(一个发展中经济体)制造企业的 GM-MP 相关性。此外,本文的研究对象是发展中经济体,特别是加纳的制造业企业。尽管存在局限性,但研究结果表明,制造企业如果优先考虑绿色制造实践、供应链准备和警觉性,就能在可持续发展和运营方面表现出色。 实际意义 这项研究为采用全球机制实践对 MP(SuP 和 OP)的重大贡献提供了新的见解。此外,它还倡导对 GM、SCAL 和 SCP 进行更多投资,以确保在当今极具破坏性的制造环境中实现可持续发展,从而实现卓越的制造绩效。本研究为政策制定者、行业参与者和供应链从业者提供了相关指导,帮助他们在整个生产流程中采用 GM,以实现制造绩效目标。 社会影响 通过倡导绿色等可持续制造实践,本研究有助于更清洁的环境、资源保护,并最终实现更可持续的未来。向生态友好型生产方法的转变可以影响公众对制造业的态度,并促进具有环保意识的实践。原创性/价值本研究的原创性在于研究了 SCAL 和 SCP 对发展中经济体制造业的 GM-MP 关系所起的中介作用,在发展中经济体中,环境可持续性和供应链中断正成为人们关注的主要问题。

Purpose

This paper investigates the relationship between technological uncertainty and the use of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies, and its impact on the implementation of agile and lean supply chain strategies. It also examines the effect of both of these supply chain strategies on focal firm operational performance in terms of efficiency in manufacturing processes and delivery performance.

Design/methodology/approach

Survey data were gathered from 256 focal manufacturing companies in Spain using a structured questionnaire. Covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) is used to test the conceptual model.

Findings

Underpinned by the Contingency Theory and the Resource Orchestration Theory, the results indicate that technology uncertainty has a strong association with I4.0 technology use. Furthermore, the use of I4.0 technologies facilitates the implementation of the lean supply chain strategy and the agile supply chain strategy. Focal firm operational performance was also observed to be affected by the two strategies in different ways.

Originality/value

This study extends the literature on operations management by studying the fit between the external environment and strategy by incorporating an in-between element: the use of I4.0 technologies. This research provides a unique empirical analysis of the role of technology uncertainty and integration between I4.0 technologies and supply chain strategies.

目的 本文研究了技术不确定性与工业 4.0(I4.0)技术的使用之间的关系,及其对实施敏捷和精益供应链战略的影响。本文还研究了这两种供应链战略在制造流程效率和交付绩效方面对重点企业运营绩效的影响。设计/方法/途径本文使用结构化问卷从西班牙 256 家重点制造企业收集了调查数据。结果以权变理论和资源协调理论为基础,结果表明技术的不确定性与 I4.0 技术的使用密切相关。此外,I4.0 技术的使用促进了精益供应链战略和敏捷供应链战略的实施。本研究通过研究外部环境与战略之间的契合度,将 I4.0 技术的使用这一介于两者之间的因素纳入其中,从而扩展了运营管理方面的文献。本研究对技术不确定性的作用以及 I4.0 技术与供应链战略之间的整合进行了独特的实证分析。

Purpose

Given the sudden increase in plant investments across the manufacturing sector due to recent disruptions in the global supply chain caused by the COVID pandemic, the Ukraine/Russian war, ocean piracy incidents, and others, there is a need to strategically align the investments decisions with the overall business strategy. This study aims to establish whether strategic alignment enhances the effect of plant investments on operational performance.

Design/methodology/approach

Using the fifth version of the Global Manufacturing Research Group (GMRG V) dataset, we employ a structural equation model (SEM) to establish the moderating role of strategic alignment in plant investments-operational performance relationships.

Findings

The results suggest that strategic alignment enhances the positive effect of plant investments on operational performance, especially in cost, delivery, flexibility, and innovation. However, we found partial support for the moderating role of strategic alignment on quality performance.

Research limitations/implications

Although the study was based on the GMRG global dataset and numerous papers have been published using the same dataset, the use of a convenience sample on a select group of companies may limit the generalizability of the results. With the increase in new plant investments in computer chip manufacturing, electronics, and electrical in recent years, the findings could help corporate executives maximize the benefits of their investment decisions. Companies should ensure that their plant investment decisions are strategically aligned with their overall business strategy to achieve optimal outcomes.

Practical implications

With the increase in new plant investments in computer chip manufacturing, electronics, and electrical in recent years, the findings could help corporate executives maximize the benefits of their investment decisions. Companies should ensure that their plant investment decisions are strategically aligned with their overall business strategy to achieve optimal outcomes.

Originality/value

The study comprehensively demonstrates that the extent of improvement in operational performance depends on how closely plant investment decisions align with the overall company strategy. Manufacturers should align major investment decisions with competitive priorities driven by market requirements to enhance operational performance.

目的鉴于最近由 COVID 大流行病、乌克兰/俄罗斯战争、海洋海盗事件等引起的全球供应链中断导致整个制造业的工厂投资突然增加,因此有必要从战略上将投资决策与整体业务战略结合起来。本研究旨在确定战略调整是否会增强工厂投资对运营绩效的影响。研究结果结果表明,战略调整会增强工厂投资对运营绩效的积极影响,尤其是在成本、交付、灵活性和创新方面。研究局限性/启示虽然本研究基于 GMRG 全球数据集,并且已有多篇论文使用相同的数据集发表,但对特定公司群体使用便利样本可能会限制研究结果的普遍性。随着近年来计算机芯片制造、电子和电气领域新工厂投资的增加,研究结果可以帮助企业高管最大限度地提高投资决策的效益。公司应确保其工厂投资决策在战略上与整体业务战略保持一致,以实现最佳结果。实际意义随着近年来计算机芯片制造、电子和电气领域新工厂投资的增加,研究结果可帮助企业高管实现投资决策的效益最大化。公司应确保其工厂投资决策在战略上与整体业务战略保持一致,以实现最佳结果。原创性/价值该研究全面证明,运营绩效的改善程度取决于工厂投资决策与公司整体战略的紧密结合程度。制造商应将重大投资决策与市场需求驱动的竞争重点相结合,以提高运营绩效。

Purpose

Since the advent of Industry 4.0, there has been a growing research interest in developing the Green Lean Six Sigma concept in the direction of achieving sustainable development, primarily aligned with Goal 12 of the agenda. Given that the concept is still in its early stages of exploration and requires further development through empirical validation, opportunities exist for innovative research. Yet, difficulties arise in adopting this green initiative due to an inadequate understanding of its strategic practices. Thus, this study aims to establish strategic practices facilitating its adoption in the Industry 4.0 era and develop a validated multi-item scale to measure the practices.

Design/methodology/approach

A three-phase methodological approach is designed to perform the techniques of exploratory and confirmatory analyses in the manufacturing context. To be a sound study, engineers have been involved since they play a pivotal role in the realm of manufacturing; however, the existing research on engineers' viewpoints on this subject is limited, emphasizing the need for further investigation.

Findings

Upon validation of the ultimate fallouts, the analyses demonstrated a confirmatory model with eighteen scales determining five practices: strategic integrity, human resource management, technologies and tools, eco-production, and eco-networks. The findings further revealed robust correlations among these core practices within the model.

Originality/value

The contribution of this study entails depicting and discussing a measurement model for future research since there is currently no empirically validated model available to measure this multidimensional green initiative.

目的自工业 4.0 问世以来,人们对发展绿色精益六西格玛概念以实现可持续发展(主要与议程目标 12 一致)的研究兴趣日益浓厚。鉴于这一概念仍处于早期探索阶段,需要通过经验验证来进一步发展,因此存在着创新研究的机会。然而,由于对这一绿色倡议的战略实践了解不足,在采用这一倡议时会遇到困难。因此,本研究旨在确定在工业 4.0 时代促进其采用的战略实践,并开发一个经过验证的多项目量表来测量这些实践。在对最终结果进行验证后,分析表明了一个确认模型,其中有 18 个量表确定了五项实践:战略完整性、人力资源管理、技术和工具、生态生产和生态网络。本研究的贡献在于为未来研究描绘并讨论了一个测量模型,因为目前还没有经验验证的模型来测量这一多维度的绿色倡议。

Purpose

The study assesses the most significant architectural core technological system that converges into a Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV).

Design/methodology/approach

Conceptually grounded in the convergence phenomenon and utilizing the graph theory-based network construction approach, based on the Betweenness Centrality (BC) metric, core International Patent Classifications (IPCs) have been empirically identified. Based on these IPCs, the ownership structure of the patents was established through assignee analysis.

Findings

Analyzing the networks obtained at different IPC levels, we found that multiple technologies have converged in a BEV, from battery chemistry to electrical engineering and thermal management of electrical machines.

Research limitations/implications

The outcome of this work has led to the identification of BEV technologies, which can be further developed to assess the trends of technologies and associated gaps and aid technology management for the selection, acquisition, and exploitation of technology.

Practical implications

The outcome of this work will aid technology management practitioners in better planning the selection, acquisition, and exploitation of technologies associated with BEV.

Originality/value

The paper adds an evidence-based approach to the body of knowledge to identify the built-in technologies that produce a BEV.

目的 本研究评估了汇聚成电池电动汽车(BEV)的最重要的架构核心技术系统。设计/方法/方法 从汇聚现象的概念出发,利用基于图论的网络构建方法,基于 "关联度中心性"(BC)指标,通过经验确定了核心国际专利分类(IPC)。研究结果 通过分析在不同 IPC 层面上获得的网络,我们发现,从电池化学到电气工程和电机热管理,多种技术在 BEV 中融合。这项工作的成果将有助于技术管理从业人员更好地规划与 BEV 相关的技术的选择、获取和利用。
