Manufacturing and supply chain flexibility – towards a tool to analyse production network coordination at operational level 制造和供应链的灵活性-在操作层面分析生产网络协调的工具
Pub Date : 2014-08-06 DOI: 10.1108/SO-04-2014-0003
A. Fredriksson, C. Wänström
Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to explore how the manufacturing and supply chain flexibility impact on the ability to transfer production between the units, i.e. production network coordination. To take advantage of available opportunities for different actors and locations, companies need to effectively transfer production. Design/methodology/approach-The case studied was a transfer of production between The Netherlands and Sweden. The case was selected based on the opportunity it provided to perform a longitudinal study of an ongoing production transfer. Findings-Different flexibility dimensions have different importance depending on the receiver or sender. A production transfer can be divided into four parts: knowledge, physical, administrative and supply chain transfer. The manufacturing flexibility have a high impact on the physical and knowledge transfer, the new product development dimension also have a major impact on the administrative transfer in combination with the supply chain flexibility dimension IT. The supply chain transfer was impacted by the supply chain flexibility dimensions except IT. Practical implications-The paper presents a first step towards a tool for analysing the strength and weaknesses within units in relation to receiving/sending production. Furthermore, that the production transfer should be viewed as four parts with interdependencies help to identify the order of the transfer process. Originality/value-This paper widens the flexibility concept to a network level. Furthermore, it describes the link between the strategic decision of coordination in the network and the operational ability of the network to accomplish this change.
目的-本文的目的是探讨制造和供应链的灵活性如何影响单位之间的生产转移能力,即生产网络协调。为了利用不同演员和地点的可用机会,公司需要有效地转移生产。设计/方法/方法-研究的案例是荷兰和瑞典之间的生产转移。选择该案例是基于对正在进行的生产转移进行纵向研究的机会。不同的灵活性维度有不同的重要性取决于接收方或发送方。生产转移可以分为四个部分:知识转移、实物转移、行政转移和供应链转移。制造柔性对物理转移和知识转移有较大影响,新产品开发维度结合供应链柔性维度对行政转移也有较大影响。供应链转移受除IT外的供应链柔性维度的影响。实际意义-本文提出了第一步的工具,用于分析有关接收/发送生产单位内的优势和劣势。此外,应将生产转移视为相互依赖的四个部分,这有助于确定转移过程的顺序。原创性/价值——本文将柔性的概念扩展到网络层面。此外,它还描述了网络中协调的战略决策与网络实现这一变化的操作能力之间的联系。

F. Ulbrich, Veit Schulz
Purpose – The purpose of this study is to empirically explore management challenges that management must overcome in the early phase of adopting IT-shared services. Organizations to an increasing extent adopt IT-shared services as a means to providing organization-wide IT services. Design/methodology/approach – Qualitative data from 20 case studies were analysed. The data were originally collected in a variety of predominantly large-size organizations from the public and private sectors in six different countries. The data used were collected between 2002 and 2010. Findings – Our research identifies seven reoccurring themes in the collected data, all being common management challenges. These challenges are evident within the whole organization – including their service-consuming business units – as well as their service-providing IT units. The seven challenges are related to the ability to deliver IT services, communication between IT and non-IT staff, IT-service portfolios, nature of IT services, power a...

Pub Date : 2014-07-31 DOI: 10.1108/SO-12-2013-0025
Beena George, R. Hirschheim, Alexander von Stetten
Purpose – This paper proposes a new research agenda for information technology (IT) outsourcing,motivated by the belief that the social capital concept enables IT outsourcing researchers to capture more of the nuances of the client–vendor relationship in IT outsourcing arrangements. Design/methodology/approach – The paper builds a comprehensive framework of social capital based on Nahapiet and Ghoshal (1998) to examine the IT outsourcing life cycle. Past research on IT outsourcing is examined applying the parameters of the framework to identify issues that have been addressed in research on IT outsourcing and to uncover the gaps in past research. Findings – The social capital framework is applied to IT outsourcing which suggests new avenues for future outsourcing research. Research limitations/implications – While past research has identified success factors for IT outsourcing, a significant number of outsourcing arrangement still fail to meet expectations.

A typology and meta-analysis of outsourcing relationship frameworks 外包关系框架的类型学和元分析
Pub Date : 2014-07-31 DOI: 10.1108/SO-04-2014-0006
Paul Lyons, L. Brennan
Purpose – The purpose of this paper was to consider 52 conceptual frameworks identified during a systematic literature review with the aim of providing insights into various aspects of outsourcing relationships. Many authors propose these frameworks to contribute to our understanding of how outsourcing relationships are conceived, operate and evolve. A meta-analysis of these frameworks was completed. Design/methodology/approach – The approach consisted of five stages: a systematic, but focused literature review to identify relevant frameworks; a study of the selected frameworks to enable the design of a typology of framework styles, so that frameworks adopting similar styles can be compared and analysed; grouping of the frameworks into families addressing different aspects of relationships as they form, operate and evolve; using the types (from the typology) within these family groups to facilitate a meta-analysis of each group by identifying common or contrasting themes; and deriving overall observations...

Pub Date : 2014-07-25 DOI: 10.1108/SO-10-2013-0018
Anton Joha, M. Janssen
Purpose – Shared services are often viewed as a single type of business model but in reality, shared services can be organized in different ways. The goal of this research is to understand the factors influencing the shaping of shared services business models. Design/methodology/approach – Inductive case oriented research is conducted by investigating three different types of shared services arrangements using Al-Debei and Avison's unified framework for business models. Findings – A total of 12 different factors were identified that influence the shape of shared services business models including the path dependency, legal/regulatory driver, customer orientation, target segment, strategic importance, ICT/business orientation, IT governance structure, change strategy, degree of outsourcing, integration potential, economic rationale and the business value. Research limitations/implications – The level of customization and standardization can influence the potential benefits that can be gained from bundling ...

Business process outsourcing and dynamic innovation 业务流程外包和动态创新
Pub Date : 2014-07-25 DOI: 10.1108/SO-11-2013-0023
Mary C Lacity, L. Willcocks
Purpose – This paper aims to answer the question: how do clients and BPO service providers work together to foster dynamic innovation? Dynamic innovation is a process by which clients incent providers to deliver many innovations each year that improve the client's performance in terms of operational efficiency, process effectiveness and/or strategic impact. Design/methodology/approach – The paper is based on research conducted in 2011 and 2012 and includes 202 survey responses and 48 in-depth interviews in 24 client organizations. Findings – The most effective innovation incentives are mandatory productivity targets, innovation days, and gain-sharing at the project level. Threat of competition and special governance arrangements for innovation also positively influence innovation. The least successful incentives for innovations were found to be innovation funds, gainsharing at the relationship level, what has been called “pain-sharing”, and benchmarking. Research limitations/implications – The 24 BPO rela...

What follows after the decision to offshore production 决定离岸生产之后会发生什么
Pub Date : 2013-11-18 DOI: 10.1108/SO-04-2013-0005
Godfrey Mugurusi, L. Boer
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to consider research that has been conducted on the offshoring of manufacturing activities, and more specifically to synthesize results regarding the question of how firms integrate and govern geographically dispersed production activities. Design/methodology/approach – A set of 100 carefully selected articles on offshoring and offshore outsourcing of production published in international peer-reviewed journals during the past 15 years are systematically analyzed. The focus is on 34 articles that touch on issues of integration and governance of dispersed production facilities. Findings – Offshoring and offshore outsourcing of production is a cross-cutting subject of research. Most research is recent and largely conceptual. Furthermore, the findings suggest that the decision to offshore is often followed by the need to build more integrated operations. Research limitations/implications – One of the major constraining factors of this research, like many literature revi...
目的-本文的目的是考虑研究已经进行了离岸制造活动,更具体地说,综合有关企业如何整合和管理地理上分散的生产活动的问题的结果。设计/方法/方法-系统分析了过去15年中在国际同行评审期刊上发表的100篇精心挑选的关于离岸生产和离岸外包的文章。重点是34篇涉及分散生产设施的集成和治理问题的文章。研究结果-离岸生产和离岸外包是一个跨领域的研究课题。大多数研究都是最近的,而且主要是概念性的。此外,研究结果表明,在做出离岸决定之后,往往需要建立更多的综合作业。研究局限性/影响-本研究的主要制约因素之一,就像许多文献综述一样…

Purpose – Business process outsourcing (BPO) industry in India is progressing with an unparalleled velocity. Although, much research has taken place time and again elaborating on attrition, which is a menace to this industry, not much of work has been done on retention. The present study aims to explore the dimensions of retention in a comprehensive manner. The paper identifies the main factors that lead to retention, compares these dimensions across various demographic characteristics and develops a regression model to find out the contribution of the factors to the long term sustenance of employees in a BPO. Design/methodology/approach – A questionnaire was completed by 500 BPO employees located in the National Capital region of India. It measured their perception towards the importance of factors that are responsible for their sustenance in the organization. Data was analyzed using tests like factor analysis, descriptive stats, correlation and regression. Findings – Four major dimensions of retention w...
业务流程外包(BPO)行业在印度正在以无与伦比的速度发展。尽管已经有很多关于人员流失(游戏邦注:这是游戏行业的一大威胁)的研究,但关于留存率的研究却很少。本研究旨在全面探讨留任的维度。本文确定了导致保留的主要因素,比较了不同人口特征的这些维度,并开发了一个回归模型,以找出这些因素对BPO员工长期维持的贡献。设计/方法/方法-位于印度国家首都地区的500名业务流程外包员工完成了问卷调查。它测量了他们对在组织中负责维持他们的因素的重要性的感知。使用因素分析、描述性统计、相关性和回归等测试来分析数据。调查结果-保留率的四个主要维度…
