Bridging organization theory and supply chain management: The case of best value supply chains
探讨了最佳价值供应链如何通过整合成本、质量、速度和灵活性来创造竞争优势，并利用组织理论区分传统供应链与最佳价值供应链，为未来研究提出理论问题。
Abstract Rivalry is increasingly being contested at the supply chain level of analysis. Rather than competing “firm versus firm,” today's organizations are battling “supply chain versus supply chain.” Within this context, best value supply chains are emerging as a means to create competitive advantages and superior performance. While traditional supply chains often focus primarily on one key outcome such as speed or cost, best value supply chains excel along an array of uniquely integrated priorities—cost, quality, speed, and flexibility. We describe how key organizational theories help to distinguish traditional supply chains from best value supply chains. To provide a foundation for future inquiry, we offer theory‐based research questions that are focused on best value supply chains.
