供应链绩效评估是提高整个供应链效率的重要关键。绩效评估不仅可以用来推动业务的持续改进，而且还可以为组织的未来战略设定方向。本研究着重分析供应链运作绩效及其跨国比较。本研究主要采用日本开发的自我评估工具——供应链管理物流计分卡（LSC）。从制度的角度，验证了国家之间的差异及其对供应链运行绩效的影响。由于供应链运营绩效在全球范围内的发展往往受到一些制度约束的限制，因此重点公司了解供应链成员的制度环境对于提高相关能力至关重要。在日本、中国、泰国和芬兰进行了供应链运营绩效的研究。研究结果表明，制度环境将在当前绩效水平中发挥重要作用，并可能成为提高供应链运营绩效的主要障碍之一。此外，我们观察到具有相似制度环境的公司在供应链管理感知方面具有共同的思维方式。本研究最后关注的是供应链管理系统中的信息技术（IT）与国家、行业和公司层面的生产力之间的关系。我们的研究结果强调了采用组织战略来补充企业中的IT使用及其对财务绩效的显著影响。信息技术利用和组织战略之间的相互作用对这三个国家的一些选定的财务指标显示出积极的贡献。结论是，只要It的引入伴随着适当的SCM组织战略，就可以确定管理绩效的良好改善。少

Supply chain performance measurement was earlier noted as a significant key for improving the efficiency of the entire supply chain.

The study mainly utilized Japanese developed self assessment tool, the Supply Chain Management Logistics scorecard (LSC).From institutional view point, differences between nations and its influences on supply chain operational performance are validated. Since the development of supply chain operational performance in global context is often limited by some of the institutional constrains, it is essential for the focal company to understand the institutional environments of the supply chain members to enhance related abilities. The research on supply chain operational performance was again carried … More out in Japan, China, Thailand and Finland. The findings indicate that the institutional environment would play important roles in the current performance level and could be one of the main obstacles in improving the supply chain operational performance. In addition, the companies with similar institutional environments have been observed to have common way of thinking with respect to supply chain management perception.The final attention for this research has been drawn on the relationship between information technology (IT) in supply chain management system and its productivity at national, industry, and company levels. Our findings highlight the adoption of organizational strategy to supplement IT usage in an enterprise and their remarkable impact on the financial performance.
