Abstract: Collaborative Planning, Forecasting, and Replenishment (CPFR) programmes seek to improve the ability to anticipate and satisfy future demand by enhancing collaboration among companies within the supply network. Despite the existence of a detailed and comprehensive process model—published by the Voluntary Interindustry Commerce Standards Committee—in practice CPFR can take a number of different forms. This paper aims to investigate differences in CPFR implementation as to the type of inter-company collaboration put into practice, and the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and coordination mechanisms adopted to perform CPFR. Moreover, it seeks to analyse the relationships between these dimensions in order to comprehend and explain the rationale behind the managerial choices that lead companies to implement different CPFR configurations. The multiple-case study method is adopted to investigate the research questions. In particular, the implementation of CPFR in seven supply networks is examine...

Information Technology and Process Performance: An Empirical Investigation of the Interaction Between IT and Non‐IT Resources
TL;DR: Analysis of data collected from a sample of firms in the third party logistics (3PL) industry supports the proposed configurational perspective, showing that IT resources can either enhance or suppress the effects of non-IT resources on process performance.

Towards a contingency theory of collaborative planning initiatives in supply networks
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the relevant contingency effects that lead firms to choose a precise collaborative planning initiative and find that specific contextual conditions (i.e., goals of the collaboration, demand elasticity, product diversity and supply network spatial complexity) can affect the level of collaboration in collaborative planning initiatives.

The Structuring of Organizations
Henry Mintzberg
- 28 Dec 1978
TL;DR: This [reading] argues that spans of control, types of formalization and decentralization, planning systems, and matrix structures should not be picked and chosen independently, the way a shopper picks vegetables at the market or a diner a meal at a buffet table.
Knowledge Flows and the Structure of Control Within Multinational Corporations
Anil K. Gupta,Vijay Govindarajan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined how, within the same corporation, the nature of corporate control might also vary systematically across subsidiaries, and the differences in subsidiary contexts were analyzed along two dimensions: (a) the extent to which the subsidiary is a user of knowledge from the rest of the corporation and (b) a provider of such knowledge to the rest.

Conducting case study research in operations management
TL;DR: In this article, the case study method is used to explore the real-world conditions that OM models seek to describe, and it is viewed with scepticism by those who consider it to be a weak form of research, one that lacks rigor and objectivity.
