Article
Postponement is not a new concept, but most of existing empirical researches are conducted in the Western countries. This study tries to investigate the current status of postponement application across three industries in Greater China (including Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan) and to assess the effects of some factors (environmental uncert...
Article
Purpose – The concept of postponement has been developed over many years. Past empirical research has been conducted almost entirely in Western countries. This paper aims to investigate the current status of postponement applications in Greater China (including Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan) to ascertain the effects of some determinants (i....
Article
This study traces the evolution of past researches in agility. Personal interpretations from authors as participant-observers are combined with a data-based analysis of the evolution of agility research. Bibliographic analysis spanning the last 17 years (1991-2008) provides the basis for the study. A chronological surveying traces its evolution wit...
Article
Although postponement benefits manufacturers by increasing flexibility and reducing inventory and product complexity, this strategy may not be suitable for all situations faced by manufacturers. This paper builds a cost model to examine the value of postponement for a firm with two products made in N stages and compares two different postponement a...

... Based on the social identity theory, there are certain demographic, situational, environmental and psychosocial factors that moderate the attitudes (Zhang et al., 2018;Platow et al., 1997). In the healthcare service industry, patients' needs and preferences might differ according to age, gender and income (Naidu, 2009). ...
... A sample size of 125 was chosen from a table of estimated adequate sample sizes for crosssectional studies with a fixed value of significance level (α = 0.05), standard deviation (2.5), and margin of error considered as 10% of the variance [17]. However, five female participants withdrew during the data collection process, bringing the total number of participants to 120. ...

... Large Chinese manufacturing companies have been shown to apply postponement more than small ones, as they may be able to afford it better (Huang and Li 2008). Similarly, participants from large hospitals consider postponement, component commonality, and transshipments more applicable with regard to examinations and treatments in order of decreasing strength of correlation and currently already apply product substitution in these services more than smaller hospitals. ...
... An agile system should respond to changes (Bernardes et al., 2009) in external environment and to customer requirements (Backhouse et al., 1999;van Hoek et al., 2001). The development of agile was traced by Huang et al. (2009), who identified four stages: initial concept building, agile manufacturing, agile supply chains which redirected post-1999 discussion from manufacturing and finally, approaches to achieve and measure agility. ...
... It is worth noting that the authors are mainly practitioners who are primarily looking for specific solutions to practical problems. From a practical point of view, it is important what solutions should be used in specific situations (Huang & Li, 2010), what should be the criteria for selecting specific solutions, for example, the selection of suppliers to meet the goals of "agility" (Foladi & Khakestari, 2020), inventory management methods or determining where the optimum separation point is (the point in the supply chain where one strategy ends and another begins) (Meyer et al., 2017). ...
... If this point of differentiation could be postponed, then the risks and uncertainty costs tied to the differentiation of the product could be reduced (Bucklin, 1965;Yang et al., 2005). Greater flexibility can also be achieved (Aviv and Federgruen, 1999;Feitzinger and Lee, 1997;Huang and Li, 2008;Lee et al., 1993), where the company is better able to respond to changes in the mix of demands from the different segments (Lee et al., 1993) and where the need for reversibility is reduced. Postponement could therefore be perceived as based on the idea of substitutability (Bucklin, 1965;Christopher, 2000;Yang et al., 2005;Yang et al., 2007) and a strategy to reduce the risks associated with product variety (Aviv andFedergruen, 1999, 2001). ...

... Ref. [39] focused on five practices of supply chain i.e, outsourcing, strategic supplier partnerships, customer relationship, information sharing, and product modularity that are key to create supply chain responsiveness. Further, [35] identified and validated the following SCM constructs: SC integration, information sharing, customer and supplier relationships, and postponement. Ref. [57] further pointed out that effective information sharing and effective supply chain practice are critical in achieving good supply chain performance. ...
... [2] Customer satisfaction and purchasing intent are both positively influenced by service quality.
