Abstract

The link between an organization's supply chain's capacities and responsiveness has been identified as one of the main issues in ensuring business performance and achieving competitive advantage. Indeed, to achieve efficient responses to customers' needs, working across organizational boundaries is essential. This study shows positive relationships between an organization's supply chain capabilities and organizational responsiveness. This study identified two key issues: (1) the connection between supply chain capabilities and organizational responsiveness and (2) the impact of supply chain capabilities on organization responsiveness. In a taxonomy, various scenarios of the relationship between supply chain capabilities and organization responsiveness were developed, and different studies were used to demonstrate the experience of intra and inter-organizational activities in economic growth. The findings of numerous studies show in detail that an organization's supply chain capabilities are essential for improving organizational responsiveness and competitiveness. Supply chain capabilities not only directly enhance operational efficiency but also help with collaborative practices that help strengthen internal skills in turn.
