Abstract

In a platform supply network, a platform owner uses a digital platform to link other firms such as suppliers, customers, logistics firms and other service firms for resource combination to manage supply chains in a comprehensive manner. Resources from different providers are combined on the platform to create value for suppliers. The literature on the Service-Dominant Logic (SDL) has implied that resource density (defined as the optimal combination of resources) is key to value co-creation. Resource density is enhanced when the number and variety of resources and/or their combinability at the opportune time and place are boosted. Yet the process by which the platform owner, complementors (independent companies providing complementary services) and suppliers interact to make this happen is still unclear. This research aims to explore how these three kinds of actors interact to build a resource density situation that guarantees satisfactory value creation in a platform supply network. Based on a qualitative study of a Business-to-Business (B2B) e-commerce digital platform, we identify three mechanisms through which these companies achieve resource density. The findings demonstrate how the mechanisms for achieving resource density manifest in the platform supply network context. We reveal that resource density can be achieved at three different levels, and that artificial intelligence and digital platforms play key roles in optimizing resource density.

寻找平台供应网络中的资源密度
在平台供应网络中,平台所有者利用数字平台将供应商、客户、物流公司和其他服务公司等其他公司联系起来,进行资源组合,从而全面管理供应链。来自不同供应商的资源在平台上组合,为供应商创造价值。有关服务主导逻辑(SDL)的文献表明,资源密度(定义为资源的最佳组合)是价值共创的关键。当资源的数量和种类和/或其在适当时间和地点的可组合性得到提升时,资源密度就会提高。然而,平台所有者、互补者(提供互补服务的独立公司)和供应商之间的互动过程是如何实现的,目前尚不清楚。本研究旨在探讨这三类参与者如何相互作用,以建立一种资源密度状况,从而确保在平台供应网络中创造令人满意的价值。基于对企业对企业(B2B)电子商务数字平台的定性研究,我们确定了这些公司实现资源密度的三种机制。研究结果展示了实现资源密度的机制在平台供应网络中的表现形式。我们发现,资源密度可以在三个不同层面实现,而人工智能和数字平台在优化资源密度方面发挥着关键作用。
