Supply Chains, Markets and Power
註釋Taking issue with the contemporary orthodoxy in supply and value chain management, the authors of this book endeavour to take resource-based thinking forward by stressing the need for a dynamic and entrepreneurial conception of resource acquisition and management, and by placing the firm in the wider context of the supply chain network. The book: outlines the four basic types of exchange relationship - buyer dominance, supplier dominance, interdependence and independence; moves beyond these initial categories to identify six different types of buyer and supplier dominance; illustrates the usefulness of this power-based categorization of exchange relationships by examining seven case studies drawn from a range of industrial and service sectors; and explains why integrated supply chain management initiatives often fail, and why certain zones within a supply chain network are more profitable. This book should be valuable reading for all those with a professional or academic interest in supply chain management.
