在物流文献中，供应链领导者组织的贡献受到了极大的关注。然而，大多数供应链成员企业并不是领导者，这些供应链追随者的贡献还没有被描述。可以说，追随者组织的贡献大于单个供应链领导者的贡献，因为在大多数供应链中，追随者组织的数量更多。本文提出了一个供应链追随者的概念框架，并根据追随者组织的行为进行了分类。数据是通过交互式模拟收集的，使用高管作为参与者。结构方程模型被用来评估所提出的模型。结果表明，当变革行为存在时，追随者组织对供应链整体绩效的贡献大于领导者组织。
Significant attention has been given to the contribution of supply chain leader organizations in the logistics literature. However, the majority of supply chain member firms are not leaders, and the contribution of these supply chain followers has not been described. Arguably the contribution of follower organizations is greater than that of a single supply chain leader since they are found in greater numbers in most supply chains. This paper identifies a conceptual framework of supply chain followership, classified on the basis of the behaviors exhibited by follower organizations. Data was collected via an interactive simulation, using executives as participants. Structural equation modeling was used to evaluate the proposed model. Results indicate that follower organizations make a greater contribution to overall supply chain performance than leaders when transformational behaviors are present.
