[source] Relationship Investment and Channel Performance: An Analysis of Mediating ForcesJOURNAL OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES, Issue 7 2009Yadong Luo abstract This study explores how relationship-specific investment (RSI) enhances interfirm cooperation in buyer,supplier partnerships in an emerging market. Building upon the logic of economic sociology, we argue that the contribution of RSI to the success in buyer,supplier partnerships will be mediated by reduced opportunism and reduced conflict and by heightened commitment and knowledge sharing. Our survey of 216 paired distributors (buyers) and manufacturers (suppliers) in China generally supports this argument, leading to a conclusion that RSI is not a direct performance propeller but an important builder of relational infrastructure in which mid-range processes are nourished. Theoretical implications in strategic management and supply chain management research are highlighted. [source] GROUNDING SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT IN RESOURCE-ADVANTAGE THEORY,JOURNAL OF SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT, Issue 1 2008SHELBY D. HUNT A key issue for strategic supply chain management research is whether purchasing can be a source of long-term competitive advantage. Recent resource-based works in strategic management suggest that purchasing cannot be a source of long-term competitive advantage. In contrast, recent works in supply chain management suggest that purchasing can be such a source. This article explains why works in strategic management and supply chain management come to such radically different conclusions on purchasing strategy. Specifically, this article points out that the negative conclusion concerning purchasing strategy is derived from theories of competition based on the neoclassical, equilibrium economics research tradition. Therefore, the positive case for strategic purchasing needs to be grounded in a research tradition that provides a clean break from the neoclassical, equilibrium economics research tradition. The authors discuss the characteristics of what has come to be labeled "the resource-advantage research tradition" and offer it as an appropriate grounding for purchasing strategy, in particular, and supply chain management, in general. [source] Martin K. Starr: A Visionary Proponent for System Integration, Modular Production, and Catastrophe AvoidancePRODUCTION AND OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT, Issue 1 2007Sushil Gupta Martin K. Starr facilitated the creation of an identity for production and operations management (POM) as an academic discipline. This paper aims to summarize Starr's substantial contributions to scholarly inquiry on system integration and interfunctional coordination, modular production, and catastrophe avoidance. Even after four decades, we describe how his legacy in these areas continues to define several major drivers of operations and supply chain management research and practice. Starr has influenced several generations of students, professors, and executives with his writings, teaching, and leadership roles in the POM community that include 32 years on the faculty of the Columbia School of Business, 15 years as Editor-in-Chief of Management Science, and presidency of the Production and Operations Management Society.
