Supply chain variability, organizational structure, and performance: The moderating effect of demand unpredictability
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the links among organizational structure (formalization and integration), supply chain process variability, and performance as moderated by environmental uncertainty, and found that in a predictable demand environment, only formal control affects SPC variability, leading to improved financial results.

Information distortion in a supply chain: the bullwhip effect
TL;DR: The authors analyzes four sources of the bullwhip effect: demand signal processing, rationing game, order batching, and price variations, and shows that the distortion tends to increase as one moves upstream.
