Abstract

This study aims to examine the effects of strategic sourcing (SS) on lean supply chain (LSC) and agile supply chain (ASC) strategies and investigate the role of these concepts on development of competitive performance.Design/methodology/approachA proposed research model and hypotheses are tested by using cross-sectional e-mail survey data collected from the manufacturing firms operating in Turkey. SS is conceptualized as a second-order factor. Structural equation modeling is used to test the proposed hypotheses.FindingsThis study reached the conclusion that SS affects LSC and ASC strategies positively. Additionally, it is seen that these concepts are effective in improvement of competitive performance.Practical implicationsThe results are important in terms of emphasizing the significance of SS in improvement of the lean and agile nature of the supply chain.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence regarding the relationships among SS, supply chain strategies and competitive performance.Research limitations/implicationsThis study was carried out on the plant level where one person from each organization responded to the survey.
