The cumulative capability ‘sand cone’ model revisited: a new perspective for manufacturing strategy (2011, positive): “Still other papers have concluded that trade-offs depend on factors such as distance from the efficient frontier, country and industry (Clark 1996, Schmenner and Swink 1998, Flynn and Flynn 2004).”
A theoretical review of flexibility, agility and responsiveness in the operations management literature: Toward a conceptual definition of customer responsiveness (2009, background): “In sum, the lack of common definitions and clarity in explaining the interrelationships among constructs may lead to different conclusions without advancing theory that can guide practice (Flynn and Flynn, 2004; Roth, 1996; Rosenzweig and Roth, 2004).”
Leveraging fitness and lean bundles to build the cumulative performance sand cone model (2015, background): “The cumulative performance perspective was developed in reaction to the tradeoffs perspective of competitive performance, originally articulated by Skinner (1969) and elaborated upon by numerous researchers in strategic management and operations strategy, including Porter, 1981 and Porter, 1985), Ha”
Perspectives on the productivity dilemma (2009, background): “reframing does is to shift the tradeoff point to the right, creating a large space in which to achieve ‘‘win–win’’ gains of improved productivity and improved quality; in essence, this accumulation of capabilities shifts the performance frontier outward (Cole, 1992; Flynn and Flynn, 2004).”
The impact of supply chain complexity on manufacturing plant performance (2009, background): “(reverse scored) Respondents: IM, SP, PS Supplier delivery unreliability Dynamic We can depend upon on-time delivery from our suppliers.”
The impact of operations capability on firm performance (2007, background): “Several studies provide empirical support for the cumulative model, demonstrating that high- and low-performing firms differ in the number of capabilities they possess (e.g. Roth and Miller 1992, Noble 1995, Flynn and Flynn 2004).”
The Role of Environmental Management in Sustainable Business Development: A Multi-Country Investigation (2012, background): “Respondents were asked to indicate their plant’s performance on these dimensions relative to their competitors (Flynn and Flynn, 2004).”
Operational Productivity, Corporate Social Performance, Financial Performance, and Risk in Manufacturing Firms (2016, background): “The CSP plots indicate a positive relationship with ROA, Tobin’s q , and Alt-man Z , and a negative relationship with SPV.”
The relationship between multidimensional organizational culture and performance (2011, background): “Firms are now required to achieve a high level of performance across various dimensions of competitive performance (including both quality and innovation) and, the argument is made that only those who can achieve high performance across multiple dimensions will prosper (Noble, 1995; Flynn et al., 19”
