Theorizing the governance of direct and indirect transactions in multi‐tier supply chains

Sangho Chae, Thomas Y. Choi, Glenn Hoetker

Journal of Supply Chain Management > 60 > 2 > 3 - 21

An outsourcing decision does not equate to the outsourcing of a sourcing decision. Many indirect transactions with lower tier suppliers are embedded in transactions with first‐tier suppliers. Building on the identification of a transaction as the fundamental unit of analysis, this study proposes that transactions comprise bundles of intertwined direct transactions at the firm level and indirect transactions...

Just‐in‐time for supply chains in turbulent times

Thomas Y. Choi, Torbjørn H. Netland, Nada Sanders, ManMohan S. Sodhi, more

Production and Operations Management > 32 > 7 > 2331 - 2340

The Covid‐19 pandemic and other recent disruptions in the early 2020s led to sections in the business press blaming just‐in‐time (JIT) practices for operational failings. Consequently, there are calls for moving away from JIT toward holding more inventory as preparation against future disruptions, which is referred to as just‐in‐case. The academic community is also divided. Some scholars argue that...

Stratified View of Institutional Fit

Marisel Fernandez‐Giordano, Leopoldo Gutierrez, Francisco Javier Llorens‐Montes, Thomas Y. Choi

British Journal of Management > 33 > 3 > 1499 - 1516

Institutional theory suggests that organizations pursue legitimacy by institutional fit. However, there is a debate about the relationship between institutional fit and performance. Thus, the goal of the present study is to delve more deeply into this issue. Specifically, we evaluate how three dimensions of fit (technology, structure and culture) are related to organizational performance. The analysis...

Multitier Incentive Strategies for Quality Improvement: Case of Three‐Tier Supply Chain

Seung Ho Yoo, Thomas Y. Choi, DaeSoo Kim

Decision Sciences > 52 > 5 > 1137 - 1168

This study investigates a final assembler's (FA) incentive strategies for quality management in the multitier supply chain context. FAs often decide to manage a second‐tier supplier in a reactive way when the first‐tier supplier is unable to control the former. In our model, an FA proactively looks upstream to its first‐tier (S1) and second‐tier (S2) suppliers in a three‐tier supply chain. We develop...

Mitigating Mechanisms for the Dark Side of Collaborative Buyer–Supplier Relationships: A Mixed‐Method Study

Verónica H. Villena, Thomas Y. Choi, Elena Revilla

Journal of Supply Chain Management > 57 > 4 > 86 - 116

Scholars have called attention to the dark side of collaborative buyer–supplier relationships (BSRs). For instance, the loss of objectivity, relational inertia, and redundant knowledge bases emerging from too much collaboration may result in declining performance. We extend this line of research by investigating the feasibility of potential mitigating mechanisms. Drawing from the literature on governance...

Selecting Startups as Suppliers: A Typology of Supplier Selection Archetypes

Stefan Kurpjuweit, Stephan M. Wagner, Thomas Y. Choi

Journal of Supply Chain Management > 57 > 3 > 25 - 49

Recent research highlights opportunities to study collaborations between established firms and startups from a buyer–supplier relationship perspective. However, before firms can leverage startups’ resources and capabilities in a buyer–supplier relationship, they need to identify, evaluate, and select suitable startups as their suppliers. As prior research has only studied how buying firms select established...

Managing extended supply chains

Thomas Y. Choi, Sriram Narayanan, David Novak, Jan Olhager, more

Journal of Business Logistics > 42 > 2 > 200 - 206

We address how to manage extended supply chains that lie beyond the first‐tier suppliers. The first‐tier suppliers have their suppliers who provide them with goods or services. While lower‐tier suppliers are often not an explicit concern of the focal firm, the firm's performance not only depends on the performance of its first‐tier suppliers, but also on the performance of their suppliers and beyond...

The Conflicted Role of Purchasing in New Product Development Costing

Lisa M. Ellram, Wendy L. Tate, Thomas Y. Choi

Journal of Supply Chain Management > 56 > 1 > 3 - 32

As organizations are increasingly challenged to find new sources of profit improvement, cost reduction becomes a top priority on the business agenda. Expectations for cost reductions are ongoing and influence both new and existing products and services. The costs for new product and service introductions are managed differently than ongoing cost reductions. Purchasing plays a central role, with different...

Jury Rigging and Supply Network Design: Evolutionary “Tinkering” in the Presence of Unknown‐Unknowns

Stuart Kauffman, Surya D. Pathak, Pradyot K. Sen, Thomas Y. Choi

Journal of Supply Chain Management > 54 > 1 > 51 - 63

Nobel laureate François Jacob wrote often about evolution as “tinkering” in which parts and processes alone or together in cells and organisms were co‐opted for new functional purposes. Such behavior remains unexamined concerning how adaptive systems succeed in biology, supply networks, the economy, and beyond. In the presence of Unknown‐Unknown events (Unk‐Unks) that have no prior occurrences and...

Buyer Power and Supplier Relationship Commitment: A Cognitive Evaluation Theory Perspective

Sangho Chae, Thomas Y. Choi, Daesik Hur

Journal of Supply Chain Management > 53 > 2 > 39 - 60

Our study investigates how buyer power affects supplier relationship commitment. When a buyer exerts power on a supplier, the supplier response can be either simple compliance or commitment at a deeper level. Theoretically, the latter pertains to a supplier's intrinsic motivation. Building on cognitive evaluation theory, our model proposes the distinctive yet interactive nature of reward power and...

Deep, Sticky, Transient, and Gracious: An Expanded Buyer–Supplier Relationship Typology

Yusoon Kim, Thomas Y. Choi

Journal of Supply Chain Management > 51 > 3 > 61 - 86

The cooperative–adversarial dichotomy has served as the prevailing buyer–supplier relationship typology in the literature. Cooperative buyer–supplier relationships have been associated with closely tied relationships, while adversarial relationships have been equated to arms‐length relationships. We propose, however, that this perspective is overly simplified; a cooperative relationship is orthogonal...

Toward the Theory of the Supply Chain

Craig R. Carter, Dale S. Rogers, Thomas Y. Choi

Journal of Supply Chain Management > 51 > 2 > 89 - 97

As our discipline has matured, we have begun to develop theories of supply chain management. However, we submit that a major omission of theory development in the supply chain management discipline is that we have failed to develop a theory of what we are managing—a theory of the supply chain. Using a conceptual theory building approach, we introduce foundational premises about the structure and boundary...

A Theory of the Nexus Supplier: A Critical Supplier From A Network Perspective

Tingting Yan, Thomas Y. Choi, Yusoon Kim, Yang Yang

Journal of Supply Chain Management > 51 > 1 > 52 - 66

We introduce a new type of critical supplier—the nexus supplier—that becomes evident when we consider suppliers from a network perspective. The extant literature focuses on the importance of strategic suppliers and identifies strategic suppliers as critical due to their significant impact on a buying firm's profit and risk position. These strategic suppliers are considered one‐at‐a‐time and tend to...

Triadic Relations in a Game of Pachisi

Zhaohui Wu, Thomas Y. Choi

Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education > 11 > 4 > 305 - 312

A triad is the smallest network form where one can study how a link affects a link or a node affects a link indirectly connected. Through triads, one can glimpse the more complex relational dynamics in larger networks. Studies of various triadic relationships have gained growing interest among OM scholars in recent years as both researchers and practitioners recognize that such a triadic framework...

Self‐Service Operations at Retail Stores: The Role of Inter‐Customer Interactions

Mei Li, Thomas Y. Choi, Elliot Rabinovich, Aaron Crawford

Production and Operations Management > 22 > 4 > 888 - 914

Inter‐customer interactions are important to the operation of self‐services in retail settings. More specifically, when self‐service terminals are used as part of customers’ checkout processes in retail operations without the explicit involvement of retailers as the direct service providers, inter‐customer interactions become a significant managerial issue. In this article, we examine the impact of...

Toward a Theory of Multi‐Tier Supply Chain Management

Carlos Mena, Andrew Humphries, Thomas Y. Choi

Journal of Supply Chain Management > 49 > 2 > 58 - 77

Recent trends toward outsourcing and global sourcing have created longer, more complex and more fragmented supply chains. In this research, we aim to instigate a theoretical development of multi‐tier supply chain (MSC) management by adopting an inductive case study research design. Following a multiple case research design, we investigate three‐tier supply chains to develop a theory of MSC management...

Who's Seeking Whom? Coalition Behavior of a Weaker Player in Buyer–Supplier Relationships

Marko Bastl, Mark Johnson, Thomas Y. Choi

Journal of Supply Chain Management > 49 > 1 > 8 - 28

Our intent with this research is to articulate propositions for coalition building behaviors involving the weaker player in a buyer–supplier relationship. The context of our study begins in dyads, but grows into triads as coalitions are formed. We consider coalition formation arising from power asymmetry in dyadic buyer–supplier relationships. However, when a weaker player pairs up with another player,...
