Implementing Government Policy in Supply Chains: An International Coproduction Study of Public Procurement
研究了公共采购中政府与小企业的合作关系，通过13个国际案例揭示政策反馈理论如何帮助理解并改变供应链管理中的政策实践。
Public procurement is the commercial arm of governments, contracting for goods, and services to feed public sector service provision. However, mainstream operations and supply chain management journals have published little on supply chains to governments, public procurement, and the significance of engaging small businesses in government supply chains. Policy feedback theory and thirteen coproduced international case studies of public procurement and small business agency dyadic relationships are used to explore this space. The research highlights the importance of both public procurement and small business as areas of policy and supply chain management research. Policy feedback theory is introduced as a means to understand relationships and is applied to a coproduction study to understand how supply chain management research can both explore and change policy.
