Background: The increasing pressure on businesses to remain competitive has made dominant practices more prevalent, particularly in the automotive and retail industries. Financial, exclusionary and exploitative practices seem to be the main occurrences in the global supply chain when analysing dominant behaviours. Objectives: The study explores the global existence of dominant supply chain behaviour and the type of dominant supply chain practices to which smaller supply chain affiliates are subjected. Method: Because of the sensitive nature of the topic, it was not possible to collect primary data. Therefore, secondary qualitative data sourced from surveys, journal articles, news reports, websites, governmental publications and academic reports were analysed and quantitised. Results: A total of 60 cases of dominance were reported in regions across the globe, with Europe and the United States experiencing the most. Although companies in African and Asian markets experienced dominance, the reporting of these incidents seems to be limited. Conclusion: It emerged that dominance is more prevalent in certain industries such as the automotive and retail sectors, mainly through resented practices. Furthermore, small firms that experience bullying have either had to close down or conform to the requirements of the bullying firm to maintain its operations.

供应链优势的相关性：全球视角

背景：企业保持竞争力的压力越来越大，这使得主导做法越来越普遍，尤其是在汽车和零售行业。在分析主要行为时，财务，排他性和剥削性做法似乎是全球供应链中的主要事件。目的：该研究探讨了主导的供应链行为的全球存在以及规模较小的供应链分支机构所遵循的主导的供应链实践的类型。方法：由于该主题的敏感性，因此无法收集主要数据。因此，对来自调查，期刊文章，新闻报道，网站，政府出版物和学术报告的二级定性数据进行了分析和量化。结果：在全球各地区共报告了60起优势案件，其中欧洲和美国的案件最多。尽管非洲和亚洲市场的公司占据主导地位，但这些事件的报道似乎有限。结论：在某些行业，例如汽车和零售行业，主要是通过反感的做法，支配地位更为普遍。此外，遭受欺凌的小公司不得不关闭或符合欺凌公司的要求才能维持其运营。结果表明，在某些行业（例如汽车和零售行业）中，主要是通过反感的做法，支配地位更为普遍。此外，遭受欺凌的小公司不得不关闭或符合欺凌公司的要求才能维持其运营。结果表明，在某些行业（例如汽车和零售行业）中，主要是通过反感的做法，支配地位更为普遍。此外，遭受欺凌的小公司不得不关闭或符合欺凌公司的要求才能维持其运营。
