Concurrent sourcing, governance mechanisms, and performance outcomes in industrial value chains
研究了制造商同时依赖外部供应商和内部生产时，如何选择治理机制，以及这些机制对绩效的影响如何受并行采购情境的调节。
We examine transaction governance in the context of concurrent sourcing, where a manufacturer relies on sourcing from external suppliers and in‐house production simultaneously. Our focus is on (1) a buyer's use of particular safeguards or governance mechanisms vis‐à‐vis an external supplier and (2) how the effects of these mechanisms on various performance outcomes are influenced by the joint presence of an internal manufacturing branch. We conduct two studies in the apparel industry and show that performance outcomes are a joint function of (1) the individual governance mechanisms that are deployed in a particular relationship and (2) the larger sourcing context (concurrent or singular) .
