Abstract

First, referring to the theories of organizational change and process change, the viewpoints in discussions on supply chain process changes are discussed. Next, based on the theory of dynamic capabilities, a model of supply chain process change consisting of three phases, that is, sensing, seizing, and reconfiguring, is introduced. Using the model, success and failure factors in each phase are discussed.
