ABSTRACT
This study explores how industry digitization influences the relationship between supplier management capability, modularized supply chain management and channel flexibility. Modularized supply chain management is a new form of supply chain governance mechanism. The construction of modularized supply chain is the process of deconstructing industrial value network, which forms a network structure of strong connection within the module and weak connection between modules. The results reveal that modularized supply chain management is positively related to channel flexibility. Supplier management capability enhances channel flexibility through modularized supply chain management. Meanwhile, industrial digitization has a positive moderating effect on the above relationship. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed.
