7 June 2021 – Article: Embracing supply base complexity: The contingency role of strategic purchasing

Our recent research about supply base complexity has been published as online first in International Journal of Operations and Production Management. In this research, we find that supply base complexity sub-dimensions (detail and dynamic complexity) exert varying effects on purchasing performance. We also illustrate that strategic purchasing enables mitigating the negative effects and leveraging the …

14 May 2021 – Article: Order from chaos: A meta-analysis of supply chain complexity and firm performance

Our recent research about supply chain complexity (meta-analysis) has been published as online first in Journal of Supply Chain Management. We find that supply chain complexity is not always detrimental: the effects vary across supply chain complexity and performance (sub)dimensions. Thus, managers should encourage cross-functional decision-making to assess the trade-offs carefully and manage supply chain complexity …
