Moreover, even with Gen-AI empowerment, the platform's revenue may decline if customers reduce their purchase frequency due to passive service from the group leader.

Previous research has overlooked a crucial factor common to many firms in emerging markets: initial informality, meaning operations begin without formal registration. This study addresses this gap by employing imprinting theory to assess whether initial informality and the duration of informal operations lead to security challenges in later stages. We investigate the underlying mechanisms by exploring whether initial informality results in deficiencies in developing formal management systems. Employing a global dataset from the World Bank Enterprise Survey (WBES), we use a logistic regression to examine the impact of initial informality on operational security. Our analysis provides evidence that initially unregistered firms are more susceptible to operational security vulnerabilities compared to their legally registered counterparts. The proportion of time spent operating informally relative to its total operational history exerts a comparable effect. Our findings indicate that quality certification, which reflect the development of formal management systems, mediate the relationship between informality and operational security. Furthermore, we find the impact of informality varies across different national culture dimensions of uncertainty avoidance (UAI) and long-term orientation (LTO). These insights are valuable for firms in emerging markets when formulating their initial business strategies and for multinational companies aiming to mitigate risks associated with entering these markets.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14287,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Production Economics","volume":"291 ","pages":"Article 109716"},"PeriodicalIF":10.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145733179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While supplier selection has been extensively studied, supplier termination remains underexplored, particularly in dynamic industries like electronics manufacturing. Drawing from agency theory, we examine how relative performance evaluation (RPE) mechanisms and supply risk shape termination decisions. Using proprietary data from a major electronics firm covering 78 suppliers across 15 components over 42 months, we provide novel evidence that firms employ comparative evaluation rather than absolute performance thresholds. Supplier scorecard improvements significantly increase survival probability, while strong peer performance decreases survival probability for other suppliers, demonstrating RPE effectiveness. However, component supply risk systematically moderates these relationships through distinct mechanisms: supplier scarcity weakens both own performance and peer performance effects on termination decisions. In contrast, component specialization selectively reduces peer performance effects but does not moderate own performance effects. These patterns reflect situations where supply constraints limit performance-based termination effectiveness. The study contributes by extending agency theory's RPE to inter-firm settings and demonstrating how different supply risk dimensions selectively moderate different performance evaluation types.

Numerous studies mislabel simulation models or Digital Shadows (DSs) as DTs, blurring essential distinctions. To address this issue, this paper adopts a praxeological approach that aims to situate observed implementations within their decision-making context. From this perspective, we propose a novel methodological framework that integrates the historical evolution of supply chain information and decision systems with a multi-dimensional analysis grid, outlining technological progress from simulators to DSs and DTs. This grid evaluates core DT functionalities (simulation, detection, anticipation and correction) across 51 empirical case studies, providing granular insights into maturity levels and AI-enhanced patterns. The results show that most models support monitoring and decision-making, but only 16 % achieve closed-loop capabilities typical of fully functional DTs, mainly in closed systems. In contrast, open systems still depend on human intervention, although AI can increasingly support such contexts. This praxeological approach provides critical and evidence-based snapshots of actual implementations. It offers researchers a clarified conceptual lens and practitioners empirically grounded guidance, outlining avenues for future inquiry and a reflective framework to guide the development and governance of DTs in supply chains.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14287,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Production Economics","volume":"291 ","pages":"Article 109842"},"PeriodicalIF":10.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145681583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper employs repeated-measures ANOVA for firms' performance comparison and survival analysis for firm survival based on matched enterprises to test the hypotheses, using the sample from Chinese A-share listed companies over the 2013–2023 period. Findings indicate that SCF benefits derive from interfirm relationships whose characteristics and dynamics depend on the interplay between financial linkage and business relationship among firms under SCF mode. The empirical results suggest that SCF contributes to promoting firm growth, reducing risk, and improving firms' survival rate. However, the contribution of SCF to short-run profit is unclear. In terms of the mediating mechanism, SCF facilitates interfirm relationship, and consequently reduces financial volatility and improves firm growth and survival. This research provides insight into the formation and features of interorganizational relationships (IORs) under SCF mode and guidance for firms to implement SCF, thereby improving enterprise resilience.

Fulfillment from stores and transshipment emerged as alternative methods to supplant the traditional approaches, but unfortunately these methods are often too costly. How to share limited inventory between online and offline channels thus remains a challenging question. We characterize an omnichannel retailer’s inventory sharing policy with limited inventory to be sold during a finite horizon. Inventory reserved for the online channel can later be transferred to the offline inventory pool, but once it is shipped to offline stores, it becomes out of reach for online orders. We use an optimal control framework with limited inventory supply and stochastic demand processes. By recursively solving a series of differential equations, we characterize the optimal inventory positioning policy. We demonstrate that a three-regime time-threshold policy governs the optimal inventory allocation policy; in the central regime, both channels are active and the retailer keeps minimal stock at the stores. During the beginning and end regimes, only one channel is open and has positive inventory. While traditional inventory management techniques tend to favor a high fill rate and availability, our approach focuses on positioning inventory where it generates the most revenue, which depends on the remaining time in the season. Interestingly, this approach sometimes leads to strategic revenue protection decisions wherein it may be more profitable to preclude sales from a lower-margin channel with higher customer reach.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14287,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Production Economics","volume":"291 ","pages":"Article 109853"},"PeriodicalIF":10.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145532671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
