Risk Ownership in Contract Manufacturing
TL;DR: A supply chain where a contract manufacturer serves a number of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) is considered, it is concluded that premium-based schemes function well despite information asymmetry when double marginalization is not very high.
Journal ArticleDOI
Matching Product Architecture and Supply Chain Configuration
Sezer Ülkü,Glen M. Schmidt +1 more
TL;DR: This model suggests that the choice of product architecture depends on firm, market, and product characteristics in addition to supply chain structure, and the nature of the relationship between the original equipment manufacturer and its supplier plays a role in the choice.

The Role of Modular Upgradability as a Green Design Strategy
Vishal Agrawal,Sezer Ülkü +1 more
TL;DR: It is found that modular upgradability can increase the environmental impact for some product categories due to accelerated obsolescence arising from more frequent introduction and replacement, but it is also found that accelerated Obsolescence, under some conditions, can actually make modular upgradeability greener.

The Role of Modular Upgradability as a Green Design Strategy
Vishal Agrawal,Sezer Ülkü +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of modular upgrade on a firm's development and introduction decisions and the environmental impact during the use phase and found that modular upgrade can increase environmental impact for some product categories due to more frequent introduction and replacement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Consumer Valuation of Modularly Upgradeable Products
TL;DR: It is shown that consumers tend to discount the cost savings associated with modular upgrades excessively when the time between the initial purchase and the upgrade is short, which suggests that modular upgradability as a product feature has higher profit potential for slowly rather than rapidly improving products.
