Supply Chains: A Network Perspective
2004Abstract For some years the idea has been emerging that the locus of value creation is the chain, the network, and not the firm. The belief is that competition occurs between systems of enterprises, rather than single firms, as in modem economies it is unlikely that a single company could, on its own, develop all the resources needed.

Safeguarding mechanisms in a supply chain network
Industrial Management & Data Systems, 2006PurposeBuilding on the transaction cost theory and power structure literature, this paper aims to investigate the extent to which firms use two safeguarding mechanisms (supply chain relational investments and electronic collaboration) in different network dependency contexts in order to protect their portfolios of business relationships.Design ...

Systematic Risk in Supply Chain Networks
Management Science, 2016Industrial production output is generally correlated with the state of the economy. Nonetheless, during times of economic downturn, some industries take the biggest hit, whereas at times of economic boom they reap most benefits. To provide insight into this phenomenon, we map supply networks of industries and firms and investigate how the supply ...

Chemical supply chain network optimization
Computers & Chemical Engineering, 2008Chemical supply chain networks provide large opportunities for cost reductions through the redesign of the flow of material from producer to customer. In this paper we present a mixed-integer linear program (MILP) capable of optimizing a multi-product supply chain network made up of production sites, an arbitrary number of echelons of distribution ...

A Network Model for Supply Chains with Multiple Policies
Multiscale Modeling & Simulation, 2007In the present paper a network model for supply chains with policy attributes is introduced. The proposed network model is an extension of the single lane model with policy attributes presented in [D. Armbruster, P. Degond, and C. Ringhofer, Transport Theory Statist. Phys., submitted].

Investing in Networkability to Improve Supply Chain Peformance
2007 40th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS'07), 2007The main aim of this paper is to analyse and explicate the linkages between IT investments, networkability of an organization, the organizational performance, and the inter-organizational (supply chain) performance. A research model was developed linking IT-investments to networkability to information sharing and organizational dependency, and ...

Supply chains and supply networks: distinctions and overlaps
Supply Chain Management: An International Journal, 2013Purpose– Although supply chain management is now an established field, the distinction between supply chains and supply networks is relatively immature and requires further investigation. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the distinction between supply chains and supply networks.Design/methodology/approach– Based on a review of the literature and
