世界经济的一体化,企业经营的全球化,客户需求的个性化多变性,使供应链与供应链之间的竞争异常激烈,而供应商又是整个供应链"源头"和上游控制的"先导因素",对其进行相关研究至关重要。所以对供应商要进行分级研究,建立供应商级别评价指标体系,并运用三级模糊综合评判模型对供应商级别进行模糊量化分析,这样,为企业对供应商进行分级管理提供了依据。     

Understanding B2B Supplier Selection Relationships: The Case of Taiwan Agribusinesses

Purpose: This article seeks to investigate the factors impacting the selection of suppliers in the Taiwan agribusiness sector and explore the relative importance of these factors. In addition, it explores the potential differences based on the organization's size and stakeholders (i.e., buyer versus supplier and management versus operational).

Methodology/Approach: This study is exploratory in nature and involves a two-stage process. In the first stage, in-depth interviews were conducted with 10 agribusiness professionals in Taiwan to determine the relevance of the current literature about the criteria used in the selection of suppliers in the Taiwan agribusiness industry. The second stage involved 16 case studies with 32 interviews, using information gathered from the first stage.

Findings: Findings revealed that the support of the 22 selection criteria presented in the preliminary framework was important to influencing an organization's selection of suppliers in the Taiwan agribusiness industry. The findings suggest that Taiwan agribusiness buyers consider the financial position of the suppliers and the quality of their managerial teams as critically important in the supplier selection process. There was little indication that the desire for business, geographical location, and repair service were regarded as important criteria for selecting suppliers.

Research Implications/Limitations: The findings of this research have added new insights to the existing literature of B2B supplier selection criteria with the identification of two additional criteria (innovativeness and willingness to cooperate). The exploratory nature of this study and the initial development of a framework of supplier selection within the context of the Taiwan agribusiness industry had constrained the applicability of the findings to other markets and industries.

Practical Implications: The findings highlighted a list of important selection criteria that agribusiness managers can consider during their supplier selection process. In addition, the findings can assist agribusiness managers from supplying organizations to build on their organizations' strengths and capabilities in meeting those important supplier selection criteria so that they can stay ahead in the increasingly competitive agribusiness industry.

Originality/Value/Contribution: By focusing on the agribusiness sector, this study provides insights into a much neglected industry where supplier selection is a crucial issue to many agribusinesses, particularly from the perspective of major buyers in value-adding agribusiness enterprises.     

The trade credit channel revisited: evidence from micro data of Japanese small firms

It is suggested that trade credit can be a substitute for bank loans for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that have little access to external funding sources. Using unique cross-sectional survey data of Japanese SMEs, we conduct a deep investigation into the substitutability between bank loans and trade credit. This survey contains rich information on the suppliers of trade credit to SMEs, thus enabling the examination of the channel through which credit is provided from suppliers to customers. We find that SMEs with little access to bank credit depend more on large suppliers for trade credit. We also find that when a purchase is made from a large supplier, more credit is indeed provided in the form of trade credit. Furthermore, this channel of credit from large suppliers to SMEs is only observed for solvent customers, not for insolvent customers. Our findings suggest that trade credit plays an important role for entrepreneurial firms over the financial growth cycle. For young and small firms with little access to bank loans trade credit is an important funding source.     

互联网是否促进了制造业产品升级——基于技术复杂度的分析

近年来,互联网跨界经营和应用受到实务界和学术界的广泛热议,但鲜有文献从更为微观的产品视角深入探讨企业使用互联网对制造业产品升级的影响。本文通过匹配中国工业企业数据库和中国海关数据库,采用OLS、Probit以及Heckman选择模型,研究了互联网对企业产品横向升级的影响及内在机制。研究发现:(1)企业使用互联网能显著促进出口概率的增加以及技术复杂度的提升;(2)互联网对技术密集型企业和内资企业的技术复杂度提升效果更明显;(3)技术创新是打开互联网促进制造业产品升级这一“黑箱”的重要机制,而波特强调的成本领先优势在互联网环境下只是企业实现产品升级和获取竞争优势的必要条件。因此,加快推进互联网在高技术企业和内资企业的应用,加大对企业研发创新投入的支持力度,是实现中国制造业产品升级目标的关键。     

基于知识和谐的结盟型供应商选择评价模型

制造商渠道多元化与跨渠道冲突：企业规模和跨渠道整合的调节作用

互联网技术和电子商务的发展为企业采用多渠道销售产品提供了有力的支持。采用不同类型的渠道销售产品成为企业塑造竞争力的重要途径，但同时也对企业对多渠道进行管理带来了挑战。文章基于多渠道相关研究，探讨企业渠道多元化对跨渠道冲突的影响，以及企业规模、跨渠道整合对上述关系的调节效应。以185家制造企业为对象，通过问卷调查收集数据，运用多元层次回归对研究假设进行检验。研究结果表明，企业的渠道多元化会激化跨渠道冲突；企业规模正向调节渠道多元化与跨渠道冲突之间的关系；跨渠道整合负向调节渠道多元化与跨渠道冲突之间的关系。     

The glue and the pieces: Entrepreneurship and innovation in small-firm networks

The entrepreneurial view of the firm stresses the need for a more insightful understanding of business leaders within sets of SMEs. Here, competitiveness emerges as a network-embedded capability and the coordination among firms, maximizing firm-specific competencies, represents a strategic leverage in accomplishing and maintaining a sustainable competitive advantage. When the goal is not only greater efficiency in terms of the lowest cost but innovation in terms of how to improve productive performance by changing the way in which it is undertaken, a critical issue becomes the entrepreneur's ability to create, manage, and recombine the set of relationships with external suppliers. The ability to glue external expertise and capabilities in an original and unique way is considered the key factor in pursuing innovative performance.As orchestrators of inter-firm linkages, entrepreneurs relying on personal networks and prior relationships are able to identify possible sources of knowledge. As coordinators of such innovative ties, they combine a wide set of diverse competencies not only to overcome size constraints through development cost reduction, but also to recoup ideas and creativity for the realization of more complex typologies of innovation. These elements reduce the level of uncertainty, while enhancing early cooperation between firms.Because the entrepreneur is supposed to be able to manage a higher number of “innovative poles”, which can be better managed thanks to trust and reputation developed in prior relationships, the different management topology could be associated with a different level of supplier contribution to the development of new products.This paper provides insights into the role of suppliers in the new product development process, and explores the role of the entrepreneur in promoting and managing a wide set of external, innovative ties. Attention is focused on 103 small- and medium- sized firms located within two Italian industrial networks where interdependencies are unusually large and complex.With respect to the first aim, the empirical analysis confirmed SME's structural recourse to suppliers. More important, the contribution of such resources is not necessarily limited to cost reductions and marginal improvements. Although incremental contributions certainly exist and are relevant, more complex relationships largely focused on joint design and development emerge as important patterns in buyer—supplier interaction.With respect to the second aim, an entrepreneurial explanation of SMEs' innovative performance is advanced. In a competitive environment where the actors are not atomistic, but exist within systems of actors, the relational capability could represent for entrepreneurial firms the way to gain a sustainable competitive advantage. We found entrepreneurs who, exploiting basic experiences, seek new combinations among the various inter-firm ties, relying upon such linkages as a vehicle for transferring and combining their organizationally embedded learning capability. Our findings showed that (1) when the entrepreneur is leading and managing the business, more suppliers are involved in the development of new products, and (2) the type of contribution given by suppliers differs by management typology. More precisely, the incremental type of contribution is dominant whenever professional management is present, while the relevance of architectural and radical topologies increase when the entrepreneur is present.On a broader level, the findings suggest further studies to address the question of how internally determined, rather than spontaneous, is the evolution toward a network structure in sets of SMEs similar to those studied. We showed that the number and the quality of inter-firm relationships cannot be explained merely by environment-specific factors.
