The aim of this study is to analyze the influence of IT investments in supply chain governance (SCG) and its conceptions (contractual, relational and transactional). This study used qualitative and quantitative techniques to assist the researcher in obtaining a better and a more in depth understanding of the phenomenon. In the qualitative step, five items emerged that was applied to identify and measure...
Collaborative planning mechanisms coordinate the decisions of multiple, autonomous, and self-interested decisions makers under asymmetric information. The approach proposed in this paper extends collaborative planning for the distributed multi-level uncapacitated lot-sizing problem by integrating compensation payments. Compensation or side payments provide an incentive for individual decision makers...
With the rapid popularization of the Internet, nowadays manufacturers are increasingly adopting a dual-channel to sell their products, i.e., The traditional retail channel and online direct channel. Empirical studies have shown that retailer's local advertising has significant effects on demand and pricing decision. However, there is scant literature addressing the decision on the local advertising...
Communality and connectivity are types of public goods offered in online spaces. As theoretical concepts, they provide design insight for the creation and understanding of interorganizational collaboration tools in multisided networks and value chains. In this paper, we present an extension of communality and connectivity that enables an examination of how organizations create value with networked...
Today's business environment is characterized by complex logistics networks which contain multiple actors participating in the provision of products and services. These (potentially) legally independent yet highly inter-dependent companies need to be coordinated in their actions to achieve a high supply chain performance. Thereby, peculiar challenges -- affecting the design of effective coordination...
The extent of collaboration among the companies in a manufacturing network impacts the parametric fluctuations in the network. This is displayed explicitly by the form of the network's normal modes. By gradually increasing the number of companies that actively collaborate, it is possible to see how the form of the normal modes changes. Initial understanding of this normal mode's resonant damping was...
It is generally accepted that neighboring nodes in financial networks are negatively assorted with respect to the correlation between their degrees. This feature would play an important "damping" role in the market during downturns (periods of distress) since this connectivity pattern between firms lowers the chances of auto-amplifying (the propagation of) distress. In this paper we explore...
