Knowledge Calibration Capability for Supply Chain Management

Knowledge calibration, or the agreement between knowledge accuracy and confidence in that knowledge, provides a foundation for supply chain management (SCM) decisions. We introduce the notion of knowledge calibration capability to maximize knowledge utility or the desirability of utilizing available knowledge. We present a conceptual framework of knowledge calibration capability for SCM by defining the construct and suggesting its potential antecedents and consequences. This paper offers a research agenda for knowledge calibration capability in a supply chain context.
