TLDR
This paper analyses mass customization, postponement and modularization strategies through a ‘modularization characteristic curve’, which is shaped by two variables: opportunities for modularization and interface constraints, which represent the aggregate effect from interface compatibility effects, component customization, value inputs and supplier–buyer interdependence.Abstract:
This paper focuses on three interrelated and complementary strategies for managing supply-chain integration: mass customization, postponement and modularization. While the goal of mass customizatio...read more

Complementary theories to supply chain management
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss and develop SCM as a scientific discipline using different theories from non-logistics areas to explain interorganizational Phenomena and establish a frame of reference that allows us to mitigate the gap between the current SCM research and the theoretical explanations of how to structure and manage supply chains.

In search of a circular supply chain archetype – a content-analysis based literature review
TL;DR: In this article, a content-based literature analysis to progress theoretical body of knowledge and conceptualise the notion of a circular supply chain is presented. And the authors derive an archetypal form from four antecedent sustainable supply chain narratives -reverse logistics, green supply chains, sustainability supply chain management, and closed-loop supply chains.

Building theories from case study research
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the process of inducting theory using case studies from specifying the research questions to reaching closure, which is a process similar to hypothesis-testing research.

Building theories from case study research.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define a leadership event as a perceived segment of action whose meaning is created by the interactions of actors involved in producing it, and present a set of innovative methods for capturing and analyzing these contextually driven processes.

Supply chain management -- more than a new name for logistics
TL;DR: In this paper, a conceptual model that provides guidance for future supply chain decision-making and research is proposed, based on a review of the literature and management practice, it is clear that there is a need for some level of coordination of activities and processes within and between organizations in the supply chain that extends beyond logistics.
