Particularly in times of disruptive changes, companies need an early warning system for risks in their supply chains to gain relevant information in a timely manner. Furthermore, they require suitable action plans and strategies to help react when a risk occurs. Based on an in-depth case study at an automotive parts supplier producing electronic systems and lighting components, this paper develops a holistic supply chain risk management framework. After investigating the specific supply chain risks to support critical parts management, standardised processes and procedures are developed to improve the preventive supply chain risk strategy cycle, as well as the reactive critical parts management cycle.
Angetrieben durch die Möglichkeiten der Digitalisierung kommt heute kaum ein Unternehmen darum herum, sich mit den Potenzialen und Auswirkungen digitaler Plattformen zu beschäftigen. Vor diesem Hintergrund entwickelt der Beitrag anhand von Plattform-Merkmalen und den Kernfragen von Geschäftsmodellinnovationen einen Orientierungsrahmen zur Ableitung von Gestaltungshinweisen für digitale B2B-Plattformen (Was? Wer? Warum? Wie?).
Angetrieben durch die Möglichkeiten der Digitalisierung kommt heute kaum ein Unterneh-men darum herum, sich mit den Potenzialen und Auswirkungen digitaler Plattformen zu be-schäftigen. Vor diesem Hintergrund entwickelt der Beitrag anhand von Plattform-Merkmalen und den Kernfragen zur Geschäftsmodellentwicklung einen Orientierungsrahmen zur Ablei-tung von Gestaltungshinweisen für digitale Plattformen (Was? Wer? Warum? Wie?). Deren Relevanz und die genaue Wirkungsweise wird dann am Beispiel von digitalen Banking-Plattformen im Finanzdienstleistungssektor aufgezeigt.
Focal companies are embedded in complex supply networks consisting of various suppliers, customers, competitors and complementors. The activities of these actors influence the com-petitive position of the focal companies. Some customers achieve preferred customer status and gain preferential treatment, others have to restrain to being standard customers getting less privileged services. Consequently, buying companies in such markets have to achieve transparency about the relationships of their suppliers towards their competitors and comple-mentors in order to map them and to analyse their impact. Current literature lacks a holistic approach to capture these relationships. In which sources can the focal companies find the desired information? Which kind of information do they really need? And in which situations is the need for transparency high and when is it low? The aim of this research is to examine these relationships using a World Café method with purchasers for data gathering followed by a Gioia method to structure the qualitative data. The result is a list of desired knowledge cov-ering business, supplier and collaboration details; a set of information sources clustered in pub-lished and unpublished sources as well as contingency factors regarding general conditions, changes and particular occasions that require a high supplier relationship knowledge. All an-swers have been rated by their importance during the World Café. The answers can help to operationalise the mapping of supplier relationships towards competitors and complementors in order to assess the own customer status compared to other customers.
