Purpose The purpose of the study is to develop an in-depth understanding of how supplier–buyer relationships, particularly in operational coordination, are affected when a company introduces an environmental sustainability target (CO2 emissions reduction) into its supply chain operations. The investigation focuses on the joint activities of the logistics function of the company (buyer) and the third-party logistics providers (3PLs) (suppliers). Design/methodology/approach This single-case study takes the perspective of a sustainability-conscious Danish company that outsources logistics services to 3PLs but maintains internal logistics as a boundary function. The value offering point/order penetration point (VOP/OPP) methodology is used. Findings The results showed that the introduction of sustainability led to the emergence of multiple decoupling points in both the demand and the supply chains. The logistics function therefore began to play the role of “integrator” across both the functions in the company and the organizations in the supply chain. The findings indicate the need to develop clear cross-functional and inter-organizational coordination mechanisms. Research limitations/implications This is a single-case study in a Danish context. Practical implications The study provides rich insights into managing the implementation of sustainability in supply chain operations, and it exemplifies how the VOP/OPP tool can be applied by 3PLs to develop sustainable offerings. Originality/value The current research on sustainable supply chain management takes into account the entire supply chain. In contrast, this study focuses on the logistics function. The VOP/OPP concept is used to capture the processes used in actual practice, and both the buyer and the supplier are considered potential co-producers of value.
本研究的目的是深入了解当一家公司在其供应链运营中引入环境可持续性目标(二氧化碳减排)时,供应商-买方关系,特别是在运营协调方面是如何受到影响的。调查的重点是公司(买方)和第三方物流提供商(3PLs)(供应商)的物流功能的联合活动。设计/方法/方法本案例研究采用了一家具有可持续性意识的丹麦公司的视角,该公司将物流服务外包给第三方物流公司,但仍将内部物流作为边界功能。使用价值提供点/订单渗透点(VOP/OPP)方法。结果表明,可持续发展的引入导致需求链和供应链中出现多个解耦点。因此,物流职能开始在公司职能和供应链组织之间扮演“集成商”的角色。调查结果表明,需要制定明确的跨职能和组织间协调机制。研究局限/启示这是一项在丹麦背景下的单例研究。本研究为管理供应链运营中可持续性的实施提供了丰富的见解,并举例说明了第三方物流公司如何应用VOP/OPP工具来开发可持续产品。目前对可持续供应链管理的研究考虑的是整个供应链。相比之下,本研究侧重于物流功能。VOP/OPP概念用于捕获实际实践中使用的过程,买方和供应商都被认为是潜在的价值共同生产者。

Governance structure in IT outsourcing: a network perspective IT外包中的治理结构:网络视角
Pub Date : 2016-02-26 DOI: 10.1108/SO-03-2015-0011
Tingting Lin, Riitta Hekkala
Purpose – The governance of information technology outsourcing (ITO) has been identified as an essential determinant for ITO success. Prior studies have shed light on effective governance structures in different organizational contexts. This study aims to advance this prior knowledge by exploring how interpersonal networks, as an important aspect of such context, reflect and influence ITO governance. Design/methodology/approach – A single case study was conducted from a vendor’s perspective in an ITO dyad. Social network analysis was leveraged to reveal the interpersonal networks, with whole-network analysis on 24 team members in an ITO vendor company. In addition, open-ended interviews with six selected team members were utilized to identify the perceived governance structure. Findings – The findings of this study suggest certain features of interpersonal networks, i.e. network density and cross-network comparison, can reflect governance structure in multiple aspects. Meanwhile, the authors also argue th...

Pub Date : 2016-02-26 DOI: 10.1108/SO-08-2015-0019
B. Modarress, Alam Ansari, Emil A. Thies
Purpose – The purpose of this study is to identify the challenges, the benefits, the risks and the motives of petroleum companies in the Persian Gulf toward outsourcing strategy. While the petroleum companies are faced with massive costs of operation that stem from the aging infrastructure, human capital deficit, inefficient fragmented business processes and lack of access to new technologies, outsourcing strategy toward cost savings and the overt and covert resistance of management and employees are significant barriers for creation of continuous process. Design/methodology/approach – Based on the review of existing literature, the industry ' s archives and in-depth personal interviews with senior executives of the national oil and gas companies in five Gulf countries and seven global outsourcing companies and 87 survey responses, this study develops a methodological framework which substantiates or refutes the hypotheses based on the objectives: industry challenges are the driving forces behind outsourc...
目的-本研究的目的是确定波斯湾石油公司对外包战略的挑战、利益、风险和动机。由于基础设施老化、人力资本不足、业务流程效率低下、缺乏新技术,石油公司面临着巨大的运营成本,为了节约成本而采取的外包战略以及管理层和员工的公开或隐蔽的抵制,是创造持续流程的重大障碍。设计/方法/方法-基于对现有文献的回顾、行业档案、对五个海湾国家的国家石油和天然气公司的高级管理人员和七个全球外包公司的深入个人访谈以及87项调查反馈,本研究开发了一个方法框架,该框架可以证实或反驳基于目标的假设:行业挑战是外包背后的驱动力……

Małgorzata Sobińska, L. Willcocks
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to find how mature the Polish commercial production companies are in their information technology (IT) sourcing practices, what they do, the practices that are successful, the challenges experienced and the outcomes.The paper presents and critically evaluates the results of a study of IT outsourcing management processes in selected industrial enterprises operating in Poland. Dynamic business contexts, globalisation and advances in IT make the development of IT sourcing models challenging in both theory and practice. This paper examines the principles and practice of sourcing IT and business processes in Poland, a country much under-represented in the literature. Little research has been conducted on the strategic rationale behind IT sourcing decisions, the resulting challenges and the potential or actual consequences of such decisions.

Accessing offshoring advantages: What and how to offshore 获取离岸优势:什么和如何离岸
Pub Date : 2015-12-09 DOI: 10.1108/SO-07-2015-0017
Alona Mykhaylenko, Ágnes Motika, B. V. Wæhrens, D. Slepniov
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to advance the understanding of factors that affect offshoring performance results. To do so, this paper focuses on the access to location-specific advantages, rather than solely on the properties of the offshoring company, its strategy or environment. Assuming that different levels of synergy may exist between particular offshoring strategic decisions (choosing offshore outsourcing or captive offshoring and the type of function) and different offshoring advantages, this work advocates that the actual fact of realization of certain offshoring advantages (getting or not getting access to them) is a more reliable predictor of offshoring success. Design/methodology/approach – A set of hypotheses derived from the extant literature is tested on the data from a quantitative survey of 1,143 Scandinavian firms. Findings – The paper demonstrates that different governance modes and types of offshored function indeed provide different levels of access to different types of loca...
目的-本文的目的是促进对影响离岸外包绩效结果的因素的理解。为了做到这一点,本文侧重于获得特定位置的优势,而不仅仅是离岸公司的属性,其战略或环境。假设在特定的离岸外包战略决策(选择离岸外包或强制离岸外包和功能类型)和不同的离岸外包优势之间可能存在不同程度的协同作用,本工作主张实现某些离岸外包优势的实际事实(获得或不获得这些优势)是离岸外包成功的更可靠的预测因素。设计/方法论/方法-从现有文献中得出的一组假设在对1143家斯堪的纳维亚公司的定量调查数据上进行了测试。研究发现——本文表明,不同的治理模式和离岸外包功能类型确实提供了不同级别的访问不同类型的本地…

An agent-based supplier selection framework 基于代理的供应商选择框架
Pub Date : 2015-12-09 DOI: 10.1108/SO-01-2015-0003
A. Jahani, Masrah Azrifah Azmi Murad, M. N. Sulaiman, M. Selamat
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to propose an approach that integrates three complementary perspectives, multi-agent systems, fuzzy logic and case-based reasoning. Unsatisfied customers, information overload and high uncertainty are the main challenges that are faced by today’s supply chains. In addition, a few existing agent-based approaches are tied to real-world supply chain functions like supplier selection. These approaches are static and do not adequately take the qualitative and quantitative factors into consideration. Therefore, an agent-based framework is needed to address these issues. Design/methodology/approach – The proposed approach integrates three complementary perspectives, multi-agent systems, fuzzy logic and case-based reasoning, as a common framework. These perspectives were rarely used together as a common framework in previous studies. Furthermore, an exploratory case study in an office furniture company is undertaken to illustrate the value of the framework. Findings – The pr...
目的-本文的目的是提出一种方法,集成了三个互补的观点,多智能体系统,模糊逻辑和基于案例的推理。客户不满意、信息过载和高度不确定性是当今供应链面临的主要挑战。此外,一些现有的基于代理的方法与现实世界的供应链功能(如供应商选择)相关联。这些方法是静态的,没有充分考虑到定性和定量因素。因此,需要一个基于代理的框架来解决这些问题。设计/方法论/方法-建议的方法集成了三个互补的观点,多智能体系统,模糊逻辑和基于案例的推理,作为一个共同的框架。在以往的研究中,这些观点很少作为一个共同的框架一起使用。此外,本文还对一家办公家具公司进行了探索性案例研究,以说明该框架的价值。调查结果- pr…

Design/methodology/approach – The proposed approach integrates three complementary perspectives, multi-agent systems, fuzzy logic and case-based reasoning, as a common framework. These perspectives were rarely used together as a common framework in previous studies. Furthermore, an exploratory case study in an office furniture company is undertaken to illustrate the value of the framework.

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to examine information technology (IT) outsourcing measurement systems. This paper proposes a systemic framework which can be used to support the evaluation of existing and the development of new measurement systems in the outsourcing context. The framework is built on the multidimensional characteristics of the business value created by IT outsourcing (ITO). Design/methodology/approach – After the conceptual discussion, this paper develops a systemic procedure for evaluating and developing measurement systems. The proposed procedure is applied in a multinational corporation operating in the electronics industry and conducting global business. First, the characteristics of the previous measurement system are evaluated, then the systemic properties of the current system are assessed and, finally, a new measurement system is proposed. Findings – The findings reveal that the measurement systems differ on many levels, namely, input, measurement process and output. The fr...
