The purpose of this study is to test a conceptual model that examines the relationship between data-driven supply chain quality management practices (DDSCQMP) and the performance of organized retailing firms in India. Through a comprehensive literature review, the dimensions of DDSCQMP specific to the Indian retail sector were identified. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from Indian retailers, with 133 successful responses. The model was tested using structured equation modeling (SEM) through PLS 3.0. The findings confirm hypotheses and show a significant relationship between DDSCQMP and retailers' performance at an aggregate level.
PurposeThe objective of the study is to test a conceptual model based on the interrelation between data-driven supply chain quality management practices (DDSCQMP) and the performance of organized retailing firms in India.Design/methodology/approachBased on a comprehensive review of literature, the dimensions of DDSCQMP concerning the Indian organized retail sector have been extracted. Considering the research objectives, the research data has been collected using a structured questionnaire from Indian retailers. Overall 133 questionnaires were responded successfully from retailers. The model was tested using structured equation modeling (SEM) through PLS 3.0.FindingsThe research findings confirm hypotheses and reveal the statistically significant relationship between DDSCQMP and retailers' performance at an aggregate level. However, the results of the individual-level analysis of DDSCQMP appear to vary from practice to practice. Among various DDSCQMP, customer focus with the highest beta (ss) value was found to have the greatest impact on performance followed by employee relations.Originality/valueThe study provides empirical justification for a structural model that identifies a positive and significant relationship between DDSCQMP and organizational performance within the context of organized retail sector of India.
