ABSTRACT
Lee (2004) proposed agility, adaptability, and alignment, constituting the triple-A, as the concurrent vital elements of supply chains to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. This study examines the impacts of triple-A and supply chain orientation on firms’ financial performance. The model was tested with surveyed data from 116 supply chain specialists and managers in Indonesia. Structural equation modeling using the partial least squares approach in SmartPLS was utilized to conduct the analysis. The results reveal that only supply chain alignment has a significant positive impact on financial performance; on the contrary, agility, adaptability, and supply chain orientation do not significantly impact financial performance. The findings indicate that firms need to focus on selected capabilities for improving their performance.
