供應鏈敏捷性是公司的長期成功和持續性的一個重要因素，其原因為目前經營狀況的特性有許多變化且每一個客戶的需求存在差異，讓企業應該更靈敏的反應。如今，資訊科技（Information Technology）在供應鏈管理中的重要影響，是實現供應鏈整合和敏捷的推動者。但是，也有很多的研究對於IT能力對供應鏈管理的影響感到焦慮，因為許多研究表明，改善和進化IT已經迅速影響修改業務流程和供應鏈的敏捷性。
建立在策略類型理論和結構研究，我們建議策略和六個IT能力元素之間相對合適，是一個關鍵以實現卓越的供應鏈敏捷性表現。我們進行了剖面誤差分析利用理想的'IT功能剖面“中四個供應鏈策略類型去研究更好的供應鏈敏捷性及最佳的IT能力剖面。本研究使用量化方法，探討結構和個別視角的框架。樣本數據的收集來自台灣和印尼的公司。此外，分析結果表明IT能力在整個供應鏈與戰略和IT能力是不同的-策略必須配合相關的供應鏈的敏捷性。這項研究還導致了兩個國家間IT能力和供應鏈敏捷性的顯著直接的影響。這樣一來，台灣和印尼幾乎有相似的觀點和結論。在結論中，這項研究代表了一種可以描述在不同的策略類型中供應鏈敏捷性與IT能力的影響新模式，即IT能力會影響供應鏈敏捷性的表現。

Supply chain agility is an important element of a company's long term success and continuity, because the characterization of the current business situation that have many variations in demands make companies should be more responsive. Nowadays, information technology (IT) has important impact in supply chain management, as a facilitator in achieving supply chain integration and agility. But, many researchers still feel anxious with the impact of IT capability on supply chain management and the perception of IT as a competitive appliance in achieving supply chain agility. This is because many studies have shown that improvement and evolution of IT has quickly modified business processes and supply chain agility has been especially influenced.
Building on strategy type theory and configurational research, we suggest that the relative fit among strategy and six IT capability profile elements are a key to achieve superior supply chain agility performance. We conducted a profile deviation analysis by using ideal ‘‘IT capability profiles” for four supply chain strategy types to investigate their best IT capability profile for better supply chain agility. Quantitative methodology is used in this study to explore the framework in the structural and individual perspectives. Sample data was collected from companies in Taiwan and Indonesia. Furthermore, the results indicate that IT capability differ across supply chain strategy and IT capability – strategy fit associated with supply chain agility. This study also has significant result in these two countries, so they have almost-similar opinion and conclusion that IT capability – strategy fit can affect the performance of supply chain agility. In conclusion, this study represent a new model that can describe the impact of IT capabilities in supply chain agility for different strategy types.
