In particular, the role of government customer concentration—how extensively a firm incorporates government entities as part of its customer base—emerges as a pivotal factor with the potential to both bolster and burden firm performance. Analyzing 3,643 firm-year observations from the U.S. Federal Procurement Data System-Next Generation, Compustat, and FactSet Revere reveals an inverse U-shaped relationship between government customer concentration and firm performance. Excessive or insufficient government customer concentration adversely impacts performance, suggesting that a strategic balance is essential. Firm size, absorptive capacity, and network embeddedness are crucial in navigating this complex relationship, guiding a firm toward optimizing its government customer portfolio.

Drawing on theories of social networks and organizational climate, this study examines the role of buying firms' organizational climate for innovation. It uses several structured and unstructured datasets for S&amp;P 500 firms and applies count regression models to test hypotheses. Supply network data from FactSet were analyzed to determine the degree centrality of a buying firm. Computer-aided content analysis was used to capture the organizational climate of buying firms based on online employee reviews collected from Glassdoor. The results suggest a positive relationship between the degree centrality and the innovation performance of buying firms. Moreover, certain facets of the organizational climate related to learning, including rewards and career progress, as well as work pressure management, affect the link between the degree centrality of a buying firm and its innovation performance.

Component modularity, supplier knowledge modularity, and knowledge complementarity are focal concepts at each respective level. Theorizing from a knowledge-based multilevel perspective, this article constructs a typology of effective coordination. Interrelationships among the concepts reveal patterns of required coordination embedded in the system before product development, enabling partners to effectively direct coordination efforts during development. The framework exposes a dilemma overlooked in the single-level coordination view. For example, when there is low component modularity and high supplier knowledge modularity (i.e., opposing forces for and against coordination), it is difficult to reason how to coordinate SIPD. Proposing that each high/low modularity configuration calls for a specific type of knowledge complementarity, this article contributes to resolving this dilemma.</p>","PeriodicalId":51392,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Supply Chain Management","volume":"60 2","pages":"22-38"},"PeriodicalIF":10.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140148735","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}

Consequently, concepts such as supply chain robustness and engineering resilience have emerged, with the dominant emphasis being that disruptions are a wholly bad thing to be avoided or resisted. However, recent discourse in the supply chain disruption management literature, such as the social–ecological interpretation of supply chain resilience, suggests that disruptions can be positioned more positively as potential catalysts for growth. Yet little is known about the capabilities required for a supply chain to grow following disruption. The emerging concept of supply chain antifragility focuses specifically on growth, providing an arrowhead for investigating what enables firms to grow following disruption. Utilizing a metaphorical transfer method, this research translates the capabilities of individuals—those who grow psychologically and emotionally after experiencing trauma—into supply chain capabilities that enhance antifragility. Five key capabilities for building antifragility in supply chains are identified: supply chain mindfulness, supply chain transformative learning, supply chain plasticity, supply chain bricolage, and supply chain collaboration. Furthermore, a hierarchy of capabilities is revealed that points to a sequential approach to capitalizing on the potential growth opportunities presented by supply chain disruptions. The findings are sense-checked through focus groups with practitioners, informing the development of five propositions. This research contributes to theory development on handling supply chain disruptions by providing a capability blueprint for post-disruption growth that complements the literature on social–ecological supply chain resilience. Finally, this research highlights the value of metaphorical transfer as an innovative approach for understanding contemporary supply chain phenomena and advancing novel theoretical frameworks.</p>","PeriodicalId":51392,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Supply Chain Management","volume":"60 1","pages":"13-31"},"PeriodicalIF":10.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jscm.12313","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139092243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This essay deepens the understanding of regenerative supply chains, inviting supply chain scholars and practitioners to rally around timely questions and codevelop new answers. We first scrutinize the paradigmatic assumptions that continue to anchor contemporary research and practice in supply chain management, showing how these once helpful assumptions now hold the community back from seeking much needed solutions.

Viewed through the lens of agency theory, such failures are potentially caused by hidden actions of the supplier under information asymmetry and goal incongruence in the buyer–supplier relationship (as principal–agent). However, by reversing the direction of information asymmetry, an alternative cause arises: hidden expectations, where the supplier has good intentions but incomplete information regarding the buyer's true preferences and specifications. Further, following a failure, the buyer forms a causal attribution and takes subsequent action. Yet these attributions suffer from cognitive biases potentially causing buyers to misattribute supply failures, leading to costly conflict and even relationship termination. Combining agency and attribution theories, this article develops a theoretical framework to explain antecedents to a buyer's attribution process under conditions of two-sided asymmetric information. It discusses the harmful relationship effects of misattribution. The framework can assist in identifying and minimizing cognitive biases causing misattribution, hence avoiding the unintentional deterioration of relationships that often follow a supply failure.

Hal was born in Pittsburg, PA, on April 22, 1931. Hal earned a BA and MBA from Indiana University, served in the US Army, and earned his Ph.D. from Michigan State University. In 1961, he became an assistant professor at Arizona State University.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hal spent his entire academic career—almost 30 years—at Arizona State University. During that time, he served as the chair of the Department of Management for 17 years and helped grow the Department's faculty from six to 32 members. In 1984, Hal helped establish and became the chair of a new Department of Purchasing, Transportation, and Operations, which is the current Department of Supply Chain Management in the W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University. He authored or co-authored multiple books on supply management and published over 450 articles in business and scholarly journals during his career. However, beyond these publications, two of his major contributions to our discipline were founding the &lt;i&gt;Journal of Supply Chain Management&lt;/i&gt; and CAPS Research.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hal founded the &lt;i&gt;Journal of Purchasing&lt;/i&gt; in 1965 and served as its editor for 9 years. Hal advocated that a scholarly journal in the field of purchasing was needed to advance the profession and offer an outlet for dissertation and other purchasing research. An additional reason for the creation of the &lt;i&gt;Journal&lt;/i&gt; was to enhance the academic respectability of purchasing as a profession. The &lt;i&gt;Journal of Purchasing&lt;/i&gt; changed names, and in 1999, it became the &lt;i&gt;Journal of Supply Chain Management&lt;/i&gt; to acknowledge supply chain management as the paradigm encompassing research in purchasing and supply management.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;i&gt;Journal&lt;/i&gt; was repositioned in 2008 with the mission of being &lt;i&gt;the&lt;/i&gt; journal of choice among supply chain management scholars for behavioral, empirical research. Hal was one of the key stakeholders when this decision was made. He commented at the time that, “This will either be the end of the &lt;i&gt;Journal&lt;/i&gt; or a spectacular success, but either way it needs to be done.” We are so glad that Hal was able to see his visionary creation of the &lt;i&gt;Journal of Purchasing&lt;/i&gt; over 55 years ago paving the way for one of our discipline's premier journals today.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 1986, Hal established the present-day Center for Advanced Procurement Strategy (CAPS) and remained its director until 1996—7 years after retiring from Arizona State University. CAPS is a joint venture between Arizona State University and the Institute for Supply Management with a mission of conducting practice leading research. Hal's vision of creating CAPS has led to the membership of Fortune 1000-sized companies with US$3.2 trillion in aggregate revenue and footprints in 120 companies and the publication of hundreds of reports with 13,000 downloads just in 2023.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While a professor, Hal was a co-founder a","PeriodicalId":51392,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Supply Chain Management","volume":"60 1","pages":"68-69"},"PeriodicalIF":10.6,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jscm.12311","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138514322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet there is growing concern about the long‐term sustainability of our food system. Over time, the inputs (e.g., water, fertile soil, fossil fuels, and chemicals) and working resources (e.g., land and labor) required for industrial food production and its associated supply chain structure have become more scarce and hence more expensive. At the same time, the by‐products of these farming and supply chain activities (e.g., farm runoff and greenhouse gas emissions) have often created negative externalities on the environment and human health. To improve the sustainability of food production, research from the life sciences recommends adoption of transformative farming methods that incorporate ecological principles in a sustainable approach to farming. Operationally, this approach leverages economies of scope . In order to maintain strategic alignment, changing food production methods should be complemented with appropriate changes in the rest of the supply chain, including consumption habits. We propose a research agenda informed by findings from the life sciences, which integrates approaches from supply chain management as well as food and agricultural economics, to align all food supply chain partners with sustainable food production.","PeriodicalId":51392,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Supply Chain Management","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135273780","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}
