基于价值网的供应链信息资源价值研究

本文认为,随着社会经济的不断发展,企业之间的竞争已经转向了供应链之间的竞争,而信息资源产生的价值是供应链上最大的竞争资源,它能够支持业务流程创新、减少供应链中需求的变动性、更好地进行市场预测、协调企业内部供应链各环节关系、创造新的客户价值、缩短提前期,对供应链参与者具有非常重要的作用。文章提出,基于传统价值链的信息资源价值实现模式以供应链核心企业为中心,会导致对物流需求信息等物流信息资源的"牛鞭效应",降低物流信息资源的价值;而基于价值网的信息资源价值实现模式以最终客户为中心,可加快供应链响应速度,提高供应链竞争力,保障客户利益的实现,进而实现信息资源价值最大化,它产生的信息资源价值更大,更有利于供应链各参与者,是更为可取的模式。     

供应链集成研究

本文认为,供应链集成包括供应链资源集成、市场集成、信息集成和组织集成,它们之间相互联系、相互依存、相互作用,构成供应链网络体系。文章提出,资源集成是供应链集成的基础,也是供应链价值创造的基础,其规模、结构、效率和质量直接体现供应链的价值量;市场集成能有效拓宽资源集成范围,提高资源集成度;信息集成能广泛收集、整合资源与市场信息,进行价值模拟与有效管理;组织集成能从战略高度,提高资源、市场、信息的集成度和整个供应链的集成度,增加整个供应链的价值。

基于特征分析的逆向供应链激励机制设计研究

逆向供应链是我国重点发展的回收再制造产业的重要组成,是解决资源紧缺和环境污染双重难题的重要途径。首先,研究针对我国逆向供应链中存在非正规回收商充斥市场的结构不合理现象进行研究,发现主要是由于逆向供应链的信息不对称、产品异质性、环境外部性和资产专用性等特征。其次,在特征分析基础上构建理想状态和逆向供应链特征影响下的均衡模型,研究发现低回收再制造水平的非正规回收商是非最优均衡的结果。再次,研究以逆向供应链前端、中端和后端为逻辑顺序,设计了信息甄别传递、提前延迟、违约惩罚和集聚合作四种激励机制,以激励约束逆向供应链的正规回收再制造行为。     

再制造闭环供应链研究综述

分析国内外再制造闭环供应链的研究现状及进展文献综述发现,国外研究主要从闭环供应链回收管理、考虑产品生命周期的逆向供应链、再造品利润分配策略及再制造竞争问题、再制造管理、库存控制问题几个方面进行综述;国内研究主要从闭环供应链定价策略及其协调和其它方面进行综述。国外对再制造闭环供应链的研究是多方面、多角度的,但尚未形成系统的体系;国内的研究主要侧重对闭环供应链定价、利润分配等经济角度的研究,而缺乏其它方面的深入研究。如何系统地构建与实际相近的闭环供应链模型体系,并增加实证研究,是未来闭环供应链研究的方向。     

Assessing the Efficiency of Risk Mitigation Strategies in Supply Chains

Mitigating supply chain risk is a critical component of a company's overall risk management strategy. Drawing upon Contingency Theory, we posit that the appropriateness and effectiveness of risk mitigation strategies are contingent on the internal and external environments and that there is no one‐size‐fits‐all strategy. While literature on risk management has proposed a variety of tools and techniques for effectively evaluating and managing supply chain risks, comprehensive assessment of the efficiencies of alternative risk mitigation strategies has not been addressed in the literature. Such an assessment will help managers select the appropriate mitigation strategy for a given decision‐making environment. To this end, this study is first of its kind in evaluating and proposing efficient supply chain risk mitigation strategies in the presence of a variety of risk categories, risk sources, and supply chain configurations. We combine an empirically grounded simulation methodology with data envelopment analysis and nonparametric statistical methods to analyze and rank alternative mitigation strategies. We find that the more efficient strategies focus on flexibility rather than on redundancy for supply chain failures. Our research presents several interesting and useful managerial insights for deciding what strategies are most capable of mitigating risks in a variety of contexts.     

第四方物流模式下供应链资源整合中的成员选择决策

第四方物流（4PL）在实践中的成功运作,正逐步表明它是实现对供应链复杂资源进行合理、高效、灵活整合的有效模式。4PL模式下供应链资源整合的关键问题之一是如何基于供应链系统的资源整合目标,从战略性的高度以及系统的整体性角度,有针对性地对协作成员进行选择。文章在对4PL模式下的供应链资源整合运作特征及框架分析的基础上,从系统性整合原理及系统整合价值增值的角度出发,对判定供应链资源整合后系统运作水平提升的主导因素进行界定及分析。在此基础上,搭建了基于各主导因素期望运作水平判定的整合决策流程,提出了基于主导因素期望运作水平判定的4PL模式下供应链资源整合的协作成员选择决策方法,并通过算例分析验证了选择决策过程的合理性与可行性。研究结论不仅阐述了现实中供应链资源整合过程的复杂性,也简要指出了进一步的研究方向。     

The building blocks of a supply chain management theory: Using factor market rivalry for supply chain theorizing

As the supply chain discipline matures, opportunities emerge to develop or define theories that are specific to supply chain phenomenon. The current research specifies characteristics that we offer which comprise the building blocks of supply chain theory. These characteristics include the flows of material through a supply chain network, the temporal management of these material flows, the dyadic and triadic interactions of firms within the supply chain network, and the outward focus on supply chain management (SCM), in other words a supply chain orientation, of firms in a supply chain. Further, recognizing that supply chain theories must contain the previously identified characteristics, we offer Factor Market Rivalry (FMR) as a theory of SCM. FMR refers to intense battles for resource positions that are needed to manufacture, provide, or deliver firm products or services. We argue that FMR only occurs within supply chain phenomena. The piece concludes with a future research agenda based upon the practical implications of further developing FMR as a theory of SCM.

Customer and Supplier Portfolios: Can Credit Risks be Managed Through Supply Chain Relationships?

While supply chain risk has been the subject of an ever‐increasing amount of research attention, the importance of credit risk has been less studied, at least by supply chain researchers. Yet, there may be risks inherent within a firm's portfolios of supply chain relationships that are manifested in the credit risk of a firm. Moreover, portfolio characteristics may serve as a signal to the external market regarding these risks. While customer and supplier portfolio characteristics may impact the firm's exposure to risks, the specific issue of how portfolio characteristics relate to credit risk has rarely been examined by supply chain scholars. This research bridges extant works in supply chain management and finance to relate supply chain characteristics to a critical reputational outcome, namely credit ratings. In this research, we utilize a sample of firms that recently underwent an initial public offering to empirically examine the theoretical predictions of Resource Dependence Theory regarding the relationships between different supply chain portfolio characteristics and credit risk.     

Supply Chain Collaboration,Integration, and Relational Technology: How Complex Operant Resources Increase Performance Outcomes

How firms coordinate efforts to collectively compete as supply chains is a key concern of supply chain management scholars and practitioners. One avenue, the development of collaborative relational capabilities that support supply chain integration, offers promise. However, the effectiveness of collaboration as a supply chain resource has been questioned due to concerns associated with collaborative technologies, and thus prior research has called for a deeper examination of the role that technologies play in facilitating integration. Employing a Service‐Dominant Logic view of hierarchical resources, grounded in Resource Advantage Theory, this research tests a model subsuming relationships between collaboration, integration, and interfirm coordination technologies, and their associated performance outcomes. A sample of 282 supply chain managers from a variety of industries were surveyed, with proposed relationships examined employing structural equation modeling. Test results indicate that collaboration and integration interact to form higher order resources that collectively influence firm performance outcomes through interfirm coordination technologies.     

A supply chain management framework for services

While services represent the largest sector of the global economy, 86.8% in the United States, most supply chain management (SCM) research is focused on product flows. Executives in manufacturing firms have benefited from frameworks created to implement SCM processes, but this is not the case for their counterparts in service companies. The two most cited SCM frameworks for services have methodological and conceptual deficiencies. Drawing upon the service-dominant logic of marketing and using an empirical research approach, we developed supply chain structure maps for nine service firms. Our findings indicate that the supply chain structure maps of service companies are comparable to those in the product-based literature, which supports the service-dominant logic. Then, we identified the six key processes that constitute a framework to manage service supply chains. The customer relationship management and the supplier relationship management processes form the critical links in the supply chain, and the other four processes are coordinated through this linkage. The SCM framework for services provides direction for executives in service firms who need to increase cross-functional integration within their firms and with other members of the supply chain. For academics, 12 avenues for future research are identified.     

Exploiting Mobile Technology for Achieving Supply Chain Integration in Indian Retail

For decades supply chain coordination has been subject to research interest, and technology has been seen as an agent that accelerates this process. In developing countries, with far-flung markets and unorganized distribution networks, using technology for improving supply chain performances and accessing information is not an easy task. The research was directed to understand if mobile technology is being used by downstream supply chain partners for information sharing and thus improving supply chain performances. Findings suggest that supply chain integration with suppliers and customers is done through extensive use of mobile networks.     

Examining Antecedents to Supply Chain Security Effectiveness: An Exploratory Study

In recent years there has been increasing emphasis on managing risk and security in supply chains. Despite this emphasis, there have been relatively few empirical studies dealing with this issue. In an attempt to partially address this lack of empirical research, the primary purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between security management practices and the perceived effectiveness of supply chain security. With a resource‐based view of the firm and supply chain integration as theoretical underpinnings, the study utilized survey data to test propositions derived from the security literature. Internal and external integration efforts, a nodal planning focus, and proactive motivations related to security measures were found to be positively related to security effectiveness. The article concludes with implications for security stakeholders including suggestions for future research.     

基于企业关系的供应链柔性影响因素研究

尽管柔性管理已成为企业适应环境变化战略调整的一部分,但现有研究多集中于对单个企业的生产柔性分析,没有动态地考察企业间视角下不同外部条件的柔性影响因素差异性。在供应链的情景下,柔性的边界从企业内部外延到企业之间,对于柔性的要求不再局限于单个企业内部的生产能力,而且涉及到整个供应链的节点企业的互动。本文从企业间关系的视角阐述了近20年关于柔性从制造柔性到供应链柔性的研究脉络,探讨了供应链柔性的维度和测量,并结合企业间关系理论提出了供应链柔性影响因素,以期对理论研究和提升企业的柔性管理实践具有借鉴意义。

Relational and Process Multiplexity in Vertical Supply Chain Triads: An Exploration in the U.S. Restaurant Industry

Both supply chain relationships and process connections between organizational units have been studied in business research, to enhance the understanding of supply chain integration, and to explore the differential outcomes of both types of connections for business and functional performance. However, the extant research remains deficient in two ways: within individual studies, researchers have operationalized supply chain connectivity unidimensionally, with the concept of connectivity constrained to either social relations or operational/process ties while disregarding the other viewpoint. Additionally, researchers have persistently designed studies to evaluate dyadic structures, while foregoing the larger, more intricate structures representative of complex supply chains. We address these issues by modeling supply chain connectivity as having multiple relational‐ and process‐based threads comprising linkages, and by empirically testing a set of theorized relationships describing vertical triadic supply chain networks (manufacturer, broker, retailer) within the U.S. restaurant industry. We find that increased supply chain connectivity improves chain performance, but this improvement is more directly attributable to process‐based linkages than relational linkages, which impact performance only through the process mediator variable, suggesting that current theories of interorganizational relationalism may lack complete conceptualization. Implications of these findings for managers and the academy are highlighted, and areas of follow‐on research are discussed.
