Orientation-performance modelling for supply chain organisations ecosystem

The supply chain issues, and their attributes are derived from the supply chain organisation (SCO) ecosystem. The SCO's strategic and operational issue attributes from the weakness-rationality limits-risk-dissatisfaction (WRRD) model influence the firm's performance, evaluated using pooled confirmatory factor analysis (PCFA) and SEM methods using SCO's orientation-performance modelling. A study of 218 micro and small manufacturing enterprises in Eastern India shows that SCO's orientation-performance model suggests a good fit. Results suggest these industries prioritise rationality over risk issues proactively and use reactive enablers to address dissatisfaction more than weakness issues. Besides strategic-operational, proactive-reactive orientations, risk issues also directly influence the firm's performance, limiting proactive enablers' effectiveness in mitigating risk.
