目的
管理内部供应链变得越来越复杂，要求管理者平衡不同的需求。因此，管理者不断需要改变内部供应链的组织方式。本文的目的是通过探讨跨国供应链管理组织 (SCMO) 改变其设计的原因，以及管理者如何使用互补的理论视角来应对相关的变化现象，从而研究这一现象。
设计/方法论/途径
从 24 家跨国制造商的 50 名高管收集的定性数据用于加深对组织设计变革现象的理解。采用理论阐述方法来说明各种理论观点如何解释组织设计变革。
研究结果
本研究识别并阐述了跨国 SCMO 背景下的组织设计变革现象，包括设计变革的内部和外部驱动因素。经理们还讨论了为了满足业务需求的明显变化而开发的关键供应链管理功能。
研究局限性/影响
这项研究有助于学术界对影响 SCMO 的组织设计问题的理解。详细阐述了四种理论观点，以说明它们在研究 SCMO 组织设计问题时的适用性。
实际意义
本研究通过阐述在内部 SCMO 中制定、解释和实施设计变更举措的原则，提供了几种组织设计变更理论的管理应用。
原创性/价值
这是调查跨国 SCMO 组织设计变革的首批研究之一。本研究通过描述不断变化的环境中公司资源和能力的适应、整合和重新配置，强调了 SCMO 组织设计决策的复杂性和不断发展的本质。
Purpose
Managing internal supply chains is becoming increasingly complex, requiring managers to balance diverse needs. As a result, managers continuously face the need to change how they organize their internal supply chains. The purpose of this paper is to examine this phenomenon by addressing why multinational supply chain management organizations (SCMOs) change their designs, as well as how managers respond to pertinent change phenomena using complementary theoretical perspectives.
Design/methodology/approach
Qualitative data, collected from 50 executives within 24 multinational manufacturers, is used to develop an understanding of the organizational design change phenomena. A theory elaboration approach is taken to illustrate how various theoretical perspectives explain organizational design change.
Findings
This study identifies and elaborates organizational design change phenomena in the context of multinational SCMOs, including internal and external drivers of design change. Managers also discussed key supply chain management capabilities that were developed in order to meet perceived changes in business needs.
Research limitations/implications
This study contributes to academic understanding of organizational design issues affecting SCMOs. Four theoretical perspectives are elaborated upon to illustrate their applicability for examining SCMO organizational design issues.
Practical implications
This study provides managerial application of several organizational design change theories by elaborating principles for framing, interpreting, and implementing design change initiatives in internal SCMOs.
Originality/value
This is one of the first studies to investigate organizational design change in multinational SCMOs. This research highlights the complexity and evolving nature of SCMO organizational design decisions by describing the adaption, integration, and reconfiguration of firm resources and competencies in changing environments.
