This traditional approach still has merit; but PSM education also must evolve to meet the increasing and changing demands that PSM executives face in practice. We offer an advanced and experiential learning method, wherein participants both in degree courses and in executive education programs develop a case study and the accompanying teaching material based on their engagement with real-life PSM challenges. In particular, the process of crafting a teaching note requires participants to adopt a teacher's mindset and competencies, enhancing their effectiveness in practice as facilitators of ecosystems and as change managers. We also encourage faculty members to broaden the application of case studies beyond working on past situations. Case studies can be the end-product of field projects (consulting cases), and their development and use can be an integral part of a change management process when they become the means to gain employee commitment for ongoing strategic initiatives (implementation cases). The latter approach is particularly fruitful when case development is used in customized executive education programs because it allows the participants' learning to feed directly into major ongoing change projects in their company. As such, cases and the case development process have the potential to develop participants' competencies and to create direct business impact in far broader ways than traditional case study pedagogy allows.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47950,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Purchasing and Supply Management","volume":"31 2","pages":"Article 100970"},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143894360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using data collected from 199 students across eight different semesters, we offer hypotheses grounded in the eclectic theory of international production and in behavioral decision making (System 1 and System 2 thinking) to make recommendations for educators and managers. In part one of the exercise, using System 1 thinking, we asked students to select far-shoring (e.g., China) or near-shoring (e.g., Mexico) as a manufacturing location and provide rationale to support their decision. We found that students selecting far-shoring used resource- and efficiency-seeking criteria while students selecting near-shoring used strategic- and market-based criteria. In addition, we found that students were prone to possible availability bias. We identified demographic factors impacting the decision-making process, and highlighted important variables not utilized by students enabling us to recommend changes in college curriculums. In the second and third parts of the exercise, we asked students to reanalyze their decisions using Total Cost of Ownership (System 2 thinking) and then reflect on their pre and post TCO decisions. Interestingly, though unexpectedly, it was encouraging to see a considerable number of students either willing to change their perspective or provide citations or scholarly support as part of the reflection. Such an experiential learning intervention including reflection and documentation is an important exercise to build current and future supply chain managers who can adapt to a dynamic, complex, and global environment. Our study adds to the literature by demonstrating the role of bias in global sourcing decision making and ways to mitigate for it.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47950,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Purchasing and Supply Management","volume":"31 2","pages":"Article 100972"},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143894362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using major customer relationship data from Compustat segment files, we construct a longitudinal dataset in the manufacturing industry for the period 1998–2017. We estimate supplier productivity accounting for selection bias and employ the fixed effect regression approach to examine the effects of mutual dependence and relative dependence on supplier productivity.

Interestingly, the curvilinear effect becomes more prominent when the supplier’s relative dependence increases.
