供應鏈組織間關係利益、權力對稱性對策略品質之影響

The Impact of Relationship Benefits and Power Symmetry on Quality of Strategy in Supply Chain

過往學者在探討策略品質時，皆未考慮到利益因素，然而實務上利益因素卻會透過其它中介變數影響到策略品質，因此在未考慮利益因素的情況下，則將無法完整描述實務上所會產生的行為。事實上，企業在考量進行鏈結時，會先以關係利益作為出發點，當此鏈結關係對企業本身有利時，企業就愈會傾向與對方進行鏈結；而彼此的鏈結緊密程度，會接著影響正面、負面功能衝突，最終影響鏈結的策略品質。然而，從另外一個角度，關係利益也會影響彼此的權力對稱性，當所能獲得的關係利益愈高，就愈會造成彼此的權力不對稱，連帶造成衝突的發生，最終影響到策略品質；但是過往並沒有人實證關係利益會影響權力對稱性的關係，因此本研究除了欲實證整個理論架構的配適度外，更是首先實證關係利益與權力對稱性的關係的研究。有鑑於此，本研究將關係利益與策略品質作為本研究的核心主軸，探討關係利益會對哪些因素造成影響，最終影響到合作關係的策略品質，以建立具有完整性之理論架構。

Antecedent studies have never thought of benefit factors when they were studying the quality of strategy; however, the benefit factor will affect the quality of strategy through other mediate variables in practice. Therefore, we can not thoroughly describe the actions in practice if we do not take benefit factors into consideration. In fact, a company will take account of relationship benefit when they consider to link with other organizations. When the linkage is favorable to the company, the company will prefer to link together. The relationship benefit will affect the connectedness of each other; hence, the functional conflict and dysfunctional conflict will be influenced. Thus, the quality of strategy of linkage is affected in the end. At the same time, relationship benefit will affect the power symmetry of each other. If one side can obtain higher relationship benefit, it will cause power asymmetry and conflicts and finally, affect the quality of strategy of linkage. Nonetheless, antecedent studies have never verified that the relationship benefit will affect the power symmetry. For this reason, our study will not only verify the overall model fit, but also be the first study to confirm the relationship between the relationship benefit and power symmetry. In order to build an overall theoretical framework, our study will take the relationship benefits and the quality of strategy to our main shaft to discuss how relationship benefit influences other factors, and how they finally affect the quality of strategy of cooperation.
