Global Supply Chain Management: Toward a Theoretically Driven Research Agenda
从六种组织理论视角审视全球供应链管理,为后续理论驱动的研究奠定基础,适合供应链与国际化研究者参考。
As competition becomes increasingly global in nature, the importance of global supply chain management grows. Yet, research attention on this matter has been limited. We seek to offer a strong foundation for future research on global supply chain management by examining it from the perspectives of six prominent organizational theories that range in emphasis from primarily endogenous to primarily exogenous influences. We, in turn, apply real options theory, internationalization theory, organizational economics, resource dependence theory, social network theory, and institutional theory. We also examine the implications for global supply chain management of juxtaposing the insights provided by multiple theories. Our hope is that the ideas generated by applying these theories set the stage for subsequent theoretically robust investigations of global supply chain management.
