Within global and rapidly changing environments, cooperation and networking offer possibilities for sharing costs and risks, as well as keeping up with constantly renewed information from outside the firms' boundaries. In line with this, an effective management control of supply chain processes seems to be relevant to compete against other supply chains and to get the required information. In this context, an implementation of a management control institution for inter-firm relations, like a supply chain management control (SCMC), that provides relevant qualitative and quantitative data to manage supply chains reflects an important issue. However, a comprehensive approach with regard to the management control of the entire supply chain and how it can be fulfilled has received scant attention in prior research. The aim of this thesis is therefore to analyze management control systems in global supply chains by means of a mixed methods design with special regard to functional, institutional and instrumental issues. In this context, qualitative data are combined with theoretical insights to develop an empirical model which is tested by means of a quantitative study. Following this, insights into management control aspects, organization of the supply chain management control, management control mechanisms, and the integration of suppliers are provided.

Julia Wolf investigates the theoretical aspect of SCM by analyzing the evolution SCM research has undergone and by assessing the question whether SCM research can be considered a scientific paradigm as of today.

Answering the strong call for theory application and development in purchasing and supply management (PSM) and supply chain literature, this Handbook is an essential reference that provides extensive guidance on which theories to apply, how to apply them, and when to build theory. Introductory chapters present the background of theory in PSM, providing a mapping of major types of theory to deliver guidance on appropriate theory application and when a new theory or mid-range theory development is required. Featuring more than 25 theories with relevance across management research, each chapter presents an excellent overview for beginning the exploration of a certain theory. The authors discuss assumptions about different theories such as agency theory, transaction cost, and game theory, and explore levels of analysis, unit of analysis, variables and relationships, as well as key research findings. In addition, chapters include lists of selected seminal literature for further reading. The Handbook will be a key reference for scholars in management and marketing fields, particularly empirical researchers in operations and management sciences.

A company’s ability to best exploit performance potentials within buyer-supplier relationships has become a critical success factor in securing competition and improving a company's overall performance. One powerful attempt to meet this challenge can be found in the application of cross-company management accounting approaches in order to execute performance control. However, implementation of suitable mechanisms and execution of control activities across company boundaries – commonly executed by both partners – is often insufficient because actual improvement potentials are not identified correctly. Embedded in a contingency-based research framework, the author combines several statistical methods to empirically analyze causal relationships between performance and contingent performance-determinants. Resulting in a control process-oriented guideline, findings support companies in the design and use of performance control systems in buyer-supplier relationships and open the field for further research.

Current market dynamics have forced industrial companies to realign their value creation processes by concentrating on core competences. These measures have led to outsourcing of areas in which companies have no distinctive capabilities and in turn, they have extensively reduced the net added value ratio. Consequently, a substantial part of performance-critical activities are not under the control of manufactures anymore, they have shifted to suppliers. In order to maintain the influence on the supply side and on the value creation process, the concept of supplier integration has recently been strongly promoted. Supplier integration first requires the reduction of the number of suppliers, in order to intensify the relationship with some of the remaining ones. If the intensification of supplier-buyer relationships comprises mutual adjustments or specific investments, the supplier becomes integrated. The specificity of an investment refers to the degree to which a company can redeploy it to alternative uses without a sacrifice of productive value. Thus, the more specific a certain investment becomes, the lower its value is when put to another use. Integrated supplier-buyer relationships promise benefits and increased competitiveness for both parties. On the other hand, they cause dependencies and hence an inflexibility to switch, which can be a threat for the purchasing organization if the performance of the incumbent supplier weakens unexpectedly. The practical relevance of research on supplier switching relates to the dilemma of the simultaneous need for stability through supplier integration and the flexibility of the supplier structure. This work discusses the possibilities of increasing the flexibility of supplier-buyer relationships without sacrificing the benefits of supplier integration. In the perspective of the research on hand, this can be accomplished through a systematic approach to supplier switches – a business situation, which has been neglected in science and practice. The book is organized in four main chapters and starts with the background of the relevance of supplier switching and the description of the research questions. The second chapter provides in-depth theoretical insight into supplier integration and switching and clusters activities involved in vendor replacements. Afterwards, six supplier switches of different companies are analyzed. It will finish up with good practices and possibilities for smooth and successful supplier switches.

Research into firm growth has been accumulating at a terrific pace, and Alex Coad s survey of this multifaceted field provides a detailed, comprehensive overview of the latest developments. Much progress has been made in empirical research into firm growth in recent decades due to factors such as the availability of detailed longitudinal datasets, more powerful computers and new econometric techniques. This book provides an up-to-date catalogue of empirical work, as well as a coherent theoretical structure within which these new results can be interpreted and understood. It brings together a large body of recent research on firm growth from a multidisciplinary perspective, providing an up-to-date synthesis of stylized facts and empirical regularities. Numerous empirical findings and theories of firm growth are also surveyed and compared in order to evaluate their validity. Drawing on a vast and diverse body of research, this book will prove invaluable to students, academics, policy makers and practitioners with a need to keep abreast of studies in industrial organization, firm growth and management.
