(in)significant Others: the Impact of Buyer-supplier Relation- Ships on the Survival of Modular and Architectural Component Suppliers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Relationship duration, supplier autonomy, and customer status affect the performance of suppliers of modular and architectural components differently. Data on U.S. carburetor and clutch manufacturers from 1918 to 1970 shows that suppliers of architectural goods (carburetors) benefit from high status customers, current autonomy, and, to a lesser extent, long-term relationships. Only autonomy affects the survival of modular good suppliers (clutches). Relationships requiring extensive sets of inter-firm routines, as in the case of architectural components, lead to greater relationship benefits and constraints.

Modularity and the Impact of Buyer - Supplier Relationships on the Survival of Suppliers
M in product design and flexible supply chains is increasingly common in buyer–supplier relationships. Although the benefits of supply chain flexibility and component modularity for end-product manufacturers are accepted, little is known about their impact on suppliers. We advance the literature on modularity by exploring how three aspects of a supplier’s relationships with its customers affect...

متن کاملModelling Integrated Multi-item Supplier Selection with Shipping Frequencies
There are many benefits for coordination of multiple suppliers when single supplier cannot satisfy buyer demands. In addition, buyer needs to purchase multiple items in a real supply chain. So, a model that satisfies these requests has many advantages. We extend the existing approaches in the literature that assume all suppliers need to be put on a common replenishment cycle and each supplier ...
متن کاملA Comprehensive Fuzzy Multiobjective Supplier Selection Model under Price Brakes and Using Interval Comparison Matrices
The research on supplier selection is abundant and the works usually only consider the critical success factors in the buyer–supplier relationship. However, the negative aspects of the buyer–supplier relationship must also be considered simultaneously. In this paper we propose a comprehensive model for ranking an arbitrary number of suppliers, selecting a number of them and allocating a quota o...
متن کاملSupply chain optimization policy for a supplier selection problem: a mathematical programming approach
Most supplier selection models consider the buyer’s viewpoint and maximize only the buyer’s profit. This does not necessarily lead to an optimal situation for all the members of a supply chain. Coordination models have been developed to optimize the entire supply chain and align the decisions between its entities. Little research has been done on the application of these models in the supplie...
