Abstract
The Journal of Supply Chain Management's 2022 emerging discourse incubator looks to encourage scholars from different disciplines to develop and test new theories to advance our understanding about why and how firms should manage supply network resources for deploying competitive actions and gaining competitive advantage. To start that discourse, this issue offers three invited papers. In “Broadening our understanding of interfirm rivalry: A call for research on how supply networks shape competitive behavior and performance,” Christian Hofer, Jordan Barker, Laura d'Oria, and Jon Johnson discuss the criticality of the supply network to a focal firm's capability in engaging competitive behaviors and the effectiveness of their rivalrous activities, which together affect the firm's competitive advantage. Michael Howe and Yao Jin explore the relational multiplexity theoretical framework in “It's Nothing Personal, or is it? Exploring How Relational Multiplexity in the Supply Chain Can Enhance Competitive Behavior.” In “A theoretical model on how firms can leverage their supply chain strategy through political actions,” Abhay Grover and Martin Dresner use the structure-conduct-performance and competitive dynamics perspectives to theorize about the relationship between political strategies, supply chain risk management strategy, and firm competitive advantage. These invited papers provide a solid foundation to further a discourse that explains how and why changes in supply chain networks can enable firms to rapidly introduce competitive actions such as new product innovations to remain competitive in their respective industries.
《供应链管理杂志》2022年新兴话语孵化器旨在鼓励来自不同学科的学者发展和测试新理论,以促进我们对企业为什么以及如何管理供应网络资源以部署竞争行动和获得竞争优势的理解。为了展开讨论,本期提供了三篇受邀论文。在《扩大我们对企业间竞争的理解:对供应网络如何塑造竞争行为和绩效的研究的呼吁》一书中,Christian Hofer、Jordan Barker、Laura d'Oria和Jon Johnson讨论了供应网络对焦点企业参与竞争行为的能力和竞争活动的有效性的重要性,它们共同影响着企业的竞争优势。Michael Howe和Yao Jin在《It's Nothing Personal, or is It ?》一书中探讨了关系多元性的理论框架。探讨供应链中的关系多样性如何增强竞争行为。在《企业如何通过政治行动来利用其供应链战略的理论模型》一书中,Abhay Grover和Martin Dresner使用结构-行为-绩效和竞争动力学的观点来理论化政治战略、供应链风险管理战略和企业竞争优势之间的关系。这些受邀论文为进一步解释供应链网络的变化如何以及为什么能够使公司迅速引入竞争行动(如新产品创新)以保持各自行业的竞争力提供了坚实的基础。
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.
