[Abstract]: Supply chain flexibility is of paramount significance in present hypercompetitive market. Whereas the role of inter-organisational trust remains a major concern for organisations, few attentions have been given its effect on supply chain flexibility. Based on the relational view of the firm, the study examines the mediated role of three relational assets, i.e., IT infrastructure integration, process modularity and knowledge sharing, between inter-organisational trust and supply chain flexibility, and hence an approach model of supply chain flexibility is established and tested by data from Chinese firms empirically. The results reveal that inter-organisational trust is associated with three kinds of relational assets. Among them, knowledge sharing and IT infrastructure integration are conducive to supply chain flexibility. Contrary to our expectation, however, there is no link between process modularity and supply chain flexibility, and environment turbulence negatively, rather than positively, moderates the relationship between IT infrastructure integration and supply chain flexibility. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

赵付春《基于组织间信任和关系资产的供应链柔性实证研究》
[摘要]：基于企业关系观理论和信任理论，本文建立了组织间信任对供应链柔性的影响模型，提出信任首先影响组织间三类关系资产的部署，进而影响供应链柔性，通过运用中国企业的调研数据对此模型进行验证，结果显示知识共享与IT基础设施的中介作用非常显著，而流程模块化的作用不显著。
