Abstract

The fashion industry is one of the dynamic industries, which undergoes rapid transformation in both the demand and flexibility. The prime objective of the current study is to investigate the relationship between strategic flexibility, manufacturing flexibility, supply chain flexibility and firm performance. In addition to that the mediating role of supply chain agility in relationship between strategic flexibility, manufacturing flexibility and firm performance is observed. The firms operating in the fashion industry of Indonesia are chosen as the sample of the study. Employing the survey-based methodology, the SEM-PLS technique is used to test the hypothesized relationships. So, current study has used SEM-PLS as statistical tool to answer the research questions raised in this study and research objectives envisaged in the current study. The findings of the study have provided support to the theoretical foundation and proposed hypothesis of the current study. Current study will be helpful for policymakers and practitioners in understanding the issues related to supply chain risk, supply chain integration and supply chain performance. In author knowledge this is among very few pioneering studies on this issue.<br/><br/>
