A collaborative performance system focuses on sustainable management in a supply chain. This was employed to determine the relationship between farmer group association (Gapoktan) of Lembang Agri (LA) that produce fresh vegetables and supermarkets as purchasing partners improve performance. study is crucial due shift farmers’ roles from merely producers entrepreneurs. utilized dependency theory...

Recent developments in information and communication technology (ICT) have facilitated integration along supply chains. Besides technological advancement and governmental support, Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) still face significant challenges when integrating into global supply chains. In a study of SMEs operating in the Macedonian and American wine industries, we investigate the i...

Achieving competitive advantage in a dynamic environment requires firms to exploit their current capabilities and explore new opportunities through innovation. Organizational learning theory refers these two types of focused activities as exploitation exploration, jointly ambidextrous learning. Suppliers can play an important role the process. This research focuses on strategic operational info...

Sourcing from emerging economies may yield direct cost savings, but companies often face greater risk of supplier responsibility problems due to many factors, with lax regulatory enforcement in these regions being one of them. Intuitively, to mitigate such risks, companies can design incentive schemes in sourcing contracts and invest in screening mechanisms for supplier sourcing. However, the r...

We consider a model of bribery in an asymmetric procurement auction. In return for a bribe from the dishonest supplier, the auctioneer has the discretion to allow this supplier to revise his bid downward to match the low bid of the honest supplier. The dishonest supplier can also win the contract outright without paying a bribe by bidding below the honest supplier. We investigate the effect of ...

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 ...

We study the effectiveness of a procurement mechanism of a buyer that bundles the product procurement with the technology acquisition. We analyze the bidding behavior of rational suppliers and predict the outcome of such a bundling strategy. Using the two-supplier case, we find that each supplier has a dominant bidding strategy for the technology provision that is independent from the bidding s...

In a buyer-supplier game, a distinguished player, called the buyer, wishes to purchase some combinatorial object. A set of players, called suppliers, offer pieces of the object for sale. In this paper, we provide a transformation from most combinatorial minimization problems to buyer-supplier games; a characterization of the core of buyer-supplier games in the transferable and non-transferable ...

  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...
