TL;DR: In this article, a content-based literature review provides the base for the identification of the key motives for offshoring and backshoring, which are then organised using a theory-grounded framework.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a proactive planning in supply chain risk management to reduce the supply side risks in an international automotive company, based on a linear programming model, considering the cost criterion as the first priority.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper identified enablers for sub-suppliers' environmental performance improvement, and applied a Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL)-based case study method to evaluate inter-relationships among these enabler and improve the focal company's GMSM practices, by using action research (AR) method principles.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify firms' green purchasing capabilities, classified into operational capabilities and dynamic capabilities, and measure their effects on the environmental and economic performance of a firm, and investigate the moderating effect of firm size on the relationship between green purchasing capability and firm performance.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided to show that the impact of supplier and customer integration on operational performance varies across production systems, such as one-of-a-kind production, batch production and mass production systems.

TL;DR: This study first investigates the relationship between individual decision modes and the financial and non-financial performance of the selected supplier, then applies a configuration approach and develops a taxonomy of decision-making modes surrounding supplier selection.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship between green supply chain practices, relational bonding, and green innovation performance and found that relational bonding is positively related to the green innovation performances.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze empirical differences and patterns in applied sustainable sourcing and supply management (SustSSM) strategies and find that companies employ individual SSSM practices in reoccurring configurations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a theory of supplier network-based innovation value, which explains how a supplier's upstream and downstream value network can be a source of competitive advantage for a buying company.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the negative effects of one category of deep-level diversity (e.g., affective trait diversity) on sourcing team performance and how such negative effects might be mitigated through team members' emotional intelligence.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce supply management scholars to family business, including its prominence and unique characteristics, and develop a research agenda from existing supply management and family business literature by offering propositions for future research where family business influences may permeate contemporary supply management topics.

TL;DR: In this article, a case study of purchasing groups in the healthcare sector is presented, which sheds light on performance measurement in a purchasing group, on the dynamics between the group and its members, and on the interaction between performance measurement and interorganizational dynamics.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors adopt the resource-based view (RBV) as a lens to explore the extent to which NHS resources support the strategic adoption of value-based approaches.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors re-examined the link between fairness and commitment in supply chain relationships and proposed that commitment can also precede perceived fairness, thus redefining the relationship between the concepts as bidirectional in buyer-supplier relationships.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess antecedents of manufacturing flexibility that stem from the upstream relationships with strategic suppliers and explore the contingent effect of product dynamism on the relationship between manufacturing flexibility and customer satisfaction.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an objective, quantitative decision analysis approach to position products and services within the Kraljic Portfolio Matrix (KPM) to help overcome the qualitative nature of the model, which results in a subjective method for weighting and positioning suppliers or commodities in the various quadrants.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors adopt the absorptive capacity perspective while investigating the cases and focus on four distinct sub-capabilities: acquisition, assimilation, transformation, and exploitation, and find that the substitution approach consists of short-term research on new technological areas in order to gain the ability to identify and evaluate alternative technologies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors take an organization design view to outsourcing in the purchasing and supply management (PSM) context, and elaborate how the organizational design of the PSM function relates to outsourcing opportunities in order to increase efficiency and effectiveness by allocating internal resources to more value-addressing activities.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined whether asymmetric relationships can also lead to supplier satisfaction, arguing that traditional analysis methods are unsuitable for thoroughly analyzing this issue, and they test the relationship between (1) balanced dependence (i.e., the buyer and supplier are equally dependent on each other) and supplier satisfaction and (2) asymmetric dependence (either the supplier or buyer is the dominant party) on supplier satisfaction.

TL;DR: In this article, a taxonomy of commodity price risk mitigation strategies and factors that may influence the adoption of these strategies is provided, based on case studies of companies with home operations in Italy, Germany, and the US.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of procurement professionals in new product design is examined and the authors evaluate which factors play an important role in driving design for procurement (DFP) environmental and economic results, including early supplier involvement, standardization, lead time reduction, environmental sourcing, supply base maintenance and core competence focused sourcing.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of network connectedness in new equity based joint venture formations was investigated from a power perspective, and it was shown that structural network based power is a significant explanatory mechanism in new joint venture formation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic literature review of the last 30 years and by performing a content analysis of 131 selected articles, the authors made a differentiation between the levels of strategic contribution made by supply and the contribution types in category II and III.

TL;DR: In this paper, a weighted additive fuzzy multi-objective model is proposed to simultaneously consider the imprecision of information and the relative importance of objectives for determining the allocation of order quantity and emergency capacity to each supplier.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the relationship between transaction characteristics and social embeddedness, and ex ante cost and ex post problems, and explore whether the same relationships hold across transactions that involve only goods versus transactions that also involve services.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors draw on the knowledge-based view and develop a hypothesized model in which supply knowledge acquisition drives PSM exploration and exploitation orientations which in turn mediate the organizational status of PSM function in terms of supply performance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the impact of service level on optimal control power allocation and compared the differences between the optimal power distribution in service supply chains and that of manufacturing supply chains.

TL;DR: In this article, a case study based on exploratory case study research involving a single case from the manufacturing sector featuring a large multinational buyer and its supplier is presented, which shows that organizational buying behavior in co-operation develops through interrelated activities on the individual, the organizational and the relational level.

TL;DR: In this article, an alternative understanding of the development of the purchasing and supply management (PSM) organization is offered through an organisational change framework, composing 1) movement transitions, 2) scalability of change, 3) acceptability of changes, and 4) substantive element of change.
