TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the key to success in business is based on recognising the types of supply chains that exist and aligning strategy and operational practice with the specific properties of the supply chain that the company is positioned within.
Abstract: Summarises the key learning points in supply and value chain mapping. It demonstrates that there is no best way to manage supply chains. Concludes that the key to success in business is based on recognising the types of supply chains that exist and aligning strategy and operational practice with the specific properties of the supply chain that the company is positioned within. It is argued that some supply chain structures do not lend themselves to effective value appropriation, so that entrepreneurial rents may not be achievable in all circumstances. It is argued, in conclusion, that this way of thinking about supply chains and supply innovation – referred to here as procurement and supply competence – is underdeveloped in business management thinking.

TL;DR: It is concluded that there are multiple equilibria in the supply chain contracts and structure and that the two-part tariff is the best contract to reduce double marginalization and increase efficiency in the management of the supply network.

TL;DR: The authors investigated how restaurant managements' attitudes and behaviors influence decisions to purchase local foods as inputs to their products and found that attitudes and behaviours associated with sourcing and product characteristics play an important role in local food purchase decisions in the restaurant value chain.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze various models used to assess supply chains by highlighting their specific characteristics and applicability in different contexts and propose an analytical grid breaking these models down into seven layers.
Abstract: Supply chain management creates value for companies, customers and stakeholders interacting throughout a supply chain. The strategic dimension of supply chains makes it paramount that their performances are measured. In today’s performance evaluation processes, companies tend to refer to several models that will differ in terms of corporate organization, the distribution of responsibilities and supply chain maturity. The present article analyzes various models used to assess supply chains by highlighting their specific characteristics and applicability in different contexts. It also offers an analytical grid breaking these models down into seven layers. This grid will help managers evolve towards a model that is more suitable for their needs.

TL;DR: The theories of diffusion of innovation, complementarities, network externalities, and technology structuration are applied to develop the propositions for fit, assimilation, and network effects and form a basis for future research on the business value of IT applications.
Abstract: This research develops a framework for organizational value creation from agile IT applications. Based on the four themes in the business value research--business process perspective, complementarities, application level of analysis, and extent of use--three antecedents (organizational fit, process assimilation, and network adoption) are identified as pre-requisites for realizing the value of agile supply chain applications. Advanced planning and scheduling (APS) systems are used as examples, and two case studies for their implementation in the electronics and consumer goods industry are reported to support the propositions. The theories of diffusion of innovation, complementarities, network externalities, and technology structuration are applied to develop the propositions for fit, assimilation, and network effects. Information sharing and industry clockspeed are identified as the moderating factors in the proposed model. The framework has both managerial and research relevance. The research guides managers regarding ways to more fully realize the value of agile applications and forms a basis for future research on the business value of IT applications.
