TL;DR: This paper proposes, evaluates, and analyze two types of adaptive strategies a firm can leverage to reduce the negative effects of supply chain network disruptions, and develops and proposes proactive strategies which are used when a distant disruption is observed but has not yet hit the focal firm.

TL;DR: The digitalization of intra-and inter-organizational processes offers significant opportunity for research in the field of operations and supply chain management (OSCM). as mentioned in this paper summarizes the contributions of the special issue articles, highlighting their focus on additive manufacturing and the encapsulation of design and production information in a digital artifact.

TL;DR: In this paper, a case study of a 3D printing company and a new market entrant is presented, where the authors develop dynamic practices for partial outsourcing in build-to-model manufacturing, where 3D printers share capacity by alternating between the role of outsourcer and subcontractor based on need.

TL;DR: The objective of this research is to provide evidence for the value of remixing as an organizational intervention for improving product design processes, and a mixed methods approach using data from Thingiverse, the world's largest AM-related online community indicates that remixing may lead to better design process outcomes in terms of quantity and diversity of designs.

TL;DR: This paper introduces the articles that are part of this special issue and presents a conceptual model for a renewed consideration of the complex adaptive systems (CAS) perspective in operations and supply chain management research.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the role that interventions can play in testing and developing theory and propose two modes of research for leveraging interventions as a mechanism for testing existing theory and developing theories about organizational and system transformation.

TL;DR: A generalized modeling approach is applied to study the stability of real-world supply networks, going beyond purely structural network analysis approaches by incorporating material flows, which are defining characteristics of supply networks.

TL;DR: An empirical framework is developed that explains how structures and processes encourage individuals to interact and share knowledge, and through these interactions, operating routines and operational capabilities emerge, and it is found that discrete technologies can be developed within authority‐based hierarchies using rigid new product development processes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a design science research project that develops a novel approach to buyer-supplier contracting, using collaborative key performance indicators (KPIs), which evaluate and reward not only the supplier contribution to customer performance but also the customer's behavior to enable this.

TL;DR: The authors explored how psychological ownership influences consumer disposal of reusable products and found that attachment and frugality increased product retention and infrequent product use, and emotional reward could weaken ownership and encourage disposal of products that are attractive for reuse.

TL;DR: A longitudinal case study of the relationship between Nissan and a strategic first-tier supplier and a computational simulation model using the search perspective from complexity theory to complement the theory grounded in the case study suggest that temporary de-embedding reinvigorates search and leads to higher performance for both the buyer and supplier.

TL;DR: It is found that serialization accounts for considerable forecast accuracy benefits, and that the accuracy of demand forecasts is as important as that of returns, and how the combined returns and demand forecast uncertainty affects the inventory performance is shown.

TL;DR: The authors assesses each of these risk preference elements by empirically deriving WTP distributions from two interlinked studies and demonstrate that a parsimonious standard utility model incorporating only risk aversion explains the WTP data reasonably well.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the role of intellectual capital in the discontinuation of NPD projects and find that projects with rich intellectual capital are less likely to be discontinued, while the size of the firm's drug development portfolio and discontinuation experience enhances the relationship between intellectual capital and project discontinuation duration.

TL;DR: It is found that e-visit adoption nearly doubles the number of hours containing work (defined as office visits or e-Visits) each week, and it is shown that increases in office or e -visit workloads lead to more post-workday activity in the e- Visits channel.
