摘要

目的虽然买方与供应商关系中的规模不对称已在非中断背景下进行了研究,但本研究探讨了供应商规模如何影响供应链的正负中断。以承诺-信任理论(CTT)为基础,我们探讨了作为中介变量的买方承诺,并研究了买方企业如何根据不同的供应商规模和供应商引发的中断类型来使用中介权力。在积极干扰中,我们发现了相反的结果,表明买方的看法和行动取决于供应商规模和干扰类型。这些发现强调了供应商规模、买方承诺和中介权力策略之间复杂的相互作用,揭示了干扰类型对买方反应的重要影响。我们还对买方在面对供应商引发的积极和消极干扰时的行为提供了更全面的理解。我们的研究存在局限性。通过基于小插曲的行为实验,场景可能无法准确代表现实生活中的情况,决策动态也可能被过度简化。未来的研究应纳入细微的测量方法,并开展更多的定性研究,以获得全面的理解。原创性/价值本研究通过扩展 CTT 框架,丰富了对买方与供应商关系的理解,从而获得更全面的信息。我们还对规模动态和干扰类型提出了细致入微的见解,强调了供应链管理中的定制战略。研究结果强调了了解这些细微差别对于在企业对企业(B2B)背景下采用定制战略的重要性,因为中介力量取决于多种因素。

Size matters: the influence of supplier size on buyer's usage of mediated power in positive and negative supplier-induced disruptions

Purpose

While size asymmetry in buyer–supplier relationships has been studied in non-disruption contexts, this research explores how supplier size influences positive and negative supply chain disruptions. Anchoring on the commitment-trust theory (CTT), we explore buyer commitment as a mediating variable and examine how buying firms' mediated power usage depends on different supplier sizes and types of supplier-induced disruptions.

Design/methodology/approach

Through two scenario-based behavioral experiments, we discover different patterns in buyers' use of mediated power, contingent on the types of supplier-induced disruptions.

Findings

In negative disruptions, buyers prefer more mediated power with large suppliers to control uncertainties, using reward or coercive power strategies. In positive disruptions, we find opposite results, indicating different buyers' perceptions and actions are contingent on both the supplier size and the types of disruptions. These findings underscore the complex interplay between supplier size, buyer commitment and mediated power strategies, revealing that disruption type significantly shapes buyer responses.

Research limitations/implications

This paper extends the CTT framework by considering new antecedents and outcomes. We also provide a more comprehensive understanding of buyer behavior when facing positive and negative supplier-induced disruptions. Our study has limitations. Through vignette-based behavioral experiments, there is a risk that scenarios may not accurately represent real-life situations and that decision-making dynamics could be oversimplified. Future research should incorporate nuanced measurements and conduct additional qualitative research for a comprehensive understanding.

Originality/value

This study enriches the understanding of the buyer-supplier relationship by expanding the CTT framework for a more comprehensive picture. We also offer nuanced insights into size dynamics and disruption types, emphasizing tailored strategies in supply chain management. The findings underscore the importance of understanding these nuances to employ tailored strategy in a business-to-business (B2B) context, as mediated power is contingent on multiple factors.
