Abstract To extend previous research, this study focuses on how a firm’s supply chain agility affects performance through the lens of resource orchestration theory. We offer an additional extension to theory by examining the impact of environmental uncertainty in the resource orchestration process. Research indicates that a firm’s capabilities must be considered within the context of larger uncontrollable and environmental factors. While the Fisher model focuses explicitly on a product’s demand volatility, the contemporary environment for many firms can be portrayed as rapidly changing with turbulent markets, rapid product life cycles, and a changing competitive landscape. Focusing on three underlying dimensions of environmental uncertainty, namely dynamism, munificence, and complexity, we theorize that this uncertainty facilitates market orientation and moderates the mediating relationship between the firm’s market orientation and supply chain orientation and a firm’s supply chain agility. In short, orchestrating resources for a firm’s supply chain agility may or may not be as significant to achieving financial performance, depending on environmental uncertainty. Therefore, our overall contribution rests in the understanding that firms must determine the appropriate level of supply chain agility.

在不确定的时期实现财务绩效：利用供应链敏捷性

摘要 为了扩展以往的研究，本研究从资源协调理论的角度关注企业的供应链敏捷性如何影响绩效。我们通过检查资源协调过程中环境不确定性的影响，为理论提供了额外的扩展。研究表明，必须在更大的不可控和环境因素的背景下考虑公司的能力。虽然费雪模型明确关注产品的需求波动，但许多公司的当代环境可以被描述为随着动荡的市场、快速的产品生命周期和不断变化的竞争格局而迅速变化。关注环境不确定性的三个基本维度，即活力、丰富性和复杂性，我们推测，这种不确定性促进了市场导向，并调节了公司的市场导向和供应链导向与公司供应链敏捷性之间的中介关系。简而言之，根据环境的不确定性，为公司的供应链敏捷性编排资源可能对实现财务绩效具有重要意义，也可能不重要。因此，我们的总体贡献在于理解公司必须确定适当的供应链敏捷性水平。
