Abstract
In the view of cluster supply chain, the relationship between flexibility and logistics capacity was studied by empirical analysis. Information sharing was introduced as a mediator variable. By using statistical methods of factor and regression analysis combined with the SPSS13.0 statistical software, we found the results as follows: the three dimensions of cluster supply chain flexibility (adaptation flexibility, innovation flexibility, communication flexibility) are significantly associated with the two dimensions of logistics capacity (delivery competence and responsiveness). Information sharing fully mediates the relationship between communication ability and delivery competence and partially mediates the relationship among other dimensions.
