Extant literature offers differing perspectives regarding whether buying firms benefit from having highly dependent suppliers. One view is that buyers benefit from having dependent suppliers as this provides buyers the ability to dictate terms in the relationship. An alternative perspective is that buyers are worse off from having dependent suppliers in that this dependence can lead to conditions that harm value creation. In this manuscript, supply chain management theory is extended by evaluating these differing predictions. This is accomplished by analyzing a database from Bloomberg of objective, secondary data for more than 3,000 supplier relationships for 49 firms independently recognized as possessing exemplar supply chains and 530 of these firms’ largest industry rivals based on GICS industry codes. These data are utilized to develop a portfolio‐level measure of buyer–supplier dependence that incorporates the bilateral nature of dependence. The findings indicate that, relative to their industry rivals, firms with exemplar supply chains have suppliers with a lower level of dependency. These results contribute to theory, inform management practice, and suggest avenues for future research.

供应链范例有或多或少的依赖供应商?

关于购买公司是否从高度依赖的供应商中受益,现有文献提供了不同的观点。一种观点认为,购买者可以从拥有独立的供应商中受益,因为这使购买者能够决定关系中的条款。另一种观点是,购买者不愿拥有依赖的供应商,因为这种依赖会导致损害价值创造的条件。在本手稿中,通过评估这些不同的预测来扩展供应链管理理论。这是通过分析来自彭博社的客观,二手数据的数据库来完成的,该数据库包含49家公司的3,000多家供应商关系的独立数据,这些公司被独立认为拥有示例供应链和530家基于GICS行业代码的最大行业竞争对手。利用这些数据来开发一种投资组合级的买方-供应商依赖性度量,该度量纳入了依赖性的双边性质。调查结果表明,相对于其行业竞争对手,具有典型供应链的公司所拥有的供应商的依赖性较低。这些结果有助于理论,为管理实践提供信息,并为将来的研究提供建议。
