Abstract

An outsourcing decision does not equate to the outsourcing of a sourcing decision. Many indirect transactions with lower tier suppliers are embedded in transactions with first-tier suppliers. Building on the identification of a transaction as the fundamental unit of analysis, this study proposes that transactions comprise bundles of intertwined direct transactions at the firm level and indirect transactions at the supply chain level. These indirect transactions require separate but not independent sourcing decisions. Using a buyer's decision to control or delegate the governance of indirect transactions for an externally sourced product, this study demonstrates that disaggregating the transaction advances theory by extending the range of outcomes, refining the calculus of the make-or-buy decision, and providing a coherent theoretical framework for multi-tier supply chain management. This study considers the theoretical, managerial, and societal implications across various contingencies involving inter-firm relationships.

多级供应链中直接和间接交易管理的理论化

外包决定并不等于外包采购决定。与下级供应商的许多间接交易都包含在与一级供应商的交易中。在确定交易为基本分析单位的基础上，本研究提出，交易包括公司层面相互交织的直接交易和供应链层面的间接交易。这些间接交易需要单独但非独立的采购决策。本研究以买方决定控制或委托管理外部采购产品的间接交易为例，证明了分解交易可以扩大结果范围、完善 "做还是买 "决策的计算，并为多层次供应链管理提供一个连贯的理论框架，从而推进理论的发展。本研究考虑了涉及企业间关系的各种突发事件对理论、管理和社会的影响。

期刊介绍： ournal of Supply Chain Management Mission: The mission of the Journal of Supply Chain Management (JSCM) is to be the premier choice among supply chain management scholars from various disciplines. It aims to attract high-quality, impactful behavioral research that focuses on theory building and employs rigorous empirical methodologies. Article Requirements: An article published in JSCM must make a significant contribution to supply chain management theory. This contribution can be achieved through either an inductive, theory-building process or a deductive, theory-testing approach. This contribution may manifest in various ways, such as falsification of conventional understanding, theory-building through conceptual development, inductive or qualitative research, initial empirical testing of a theory, theoretically-based meta-analysis, or constructive replication that clarifies the boundaries or range of a theory. Theoretical Contribution: Manuscripts should explicitly convey the theoretical contribution relative to the existing supply chain management literature, and when appropriate, to the literature outside of supply chain management (e.g., management theory, psychology, economics). Empirical Contribution: Manuscripts published in JSCM must also provide strong empirical contributions. While conceptual manuscripts are welcomed, they must significantly advance theory in the field of supply chain management and be firmly grounded in existing theory and relevant literature. For empirical manuscripts, authors must adequately assess validity, which is essential for empirical research, whether quantitative or qualitative.
