Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This book examines supply chain management in informal and resource-constrained business environments, focusing on the unorganized machine-tool retail sector in Gujarat and Maharashtra. It explores how micro and small industrial retailers serving engineering workshops, manufacturing units, and fabrication facilities develop competitive capabilities despite financial, technological, and institutional constraints. The book introduces the Agility-Performance Cascade Model for Retailers in the Unorganized Machine Tools Sector (APCM-RUMTS), explaining how supplier collaboration, inventory sophistication, and digital technology adoption contribute to supply chain agility and subsequently to operational excellence, business growth, and entrepreneurial satisfaction.The framework integrates four theoretical perspectives: Relational View, Organizational Information Processing Theory, Technology-Organization-Environment Framework, and Dynamic Capabilities Theory.
