Abstract:The aim of this research is to propose a model that relates information technology (IT) investments, supply chain governance (SCG) and performance together. For this purpose, a pilot study involving both a qualitative and a quantitative stage was conducted. The qualitative analysis, consisting of an extensive literature review and two case studies conducted in six major, globally-relevant Brazilian companies, led to the development of an initial model. This model was refined during the quantitative stage that … Show more
“…Costa & Porto (2014) adapted the concept, and systematized a set of "technological governance" elements with the capacity to lead innovation investments in Brazilian multinationals, coining the concept of "cooperativeness".

Resumo Atualmente, admite-se a insuficiência da avaliação de projetos baseada em restrições de escopo, prazo e custo para assegurar a criação de valor pela organização. Apesar disto, essa métrica continua sendo, muitas vezes, a única utilizada para avaliar o sucesso dos projetos. Neste artigo, a partir de referências teóricas, analisa-se como algumas empresas nacionais e multinacionais gerenciam a criação de valor por suas carteiras de projetos de Tecnologia da Informação (TI). Busca-se entender os processos utilizados, bem como identificar os principais desafios encontrados pelas organizações pesquisadas. Para atingir esse objetivo, foi utilizada uma abordagem exploratória qualitativa baseada em entrevistas semiestruturadas com gestores de portfólios de TI de 14 organizações brasileiras de diversos segmentos e portes. A pesquisa indicou oportunidades de melhoria e mostrou que poucas são as organizações que avaliam de forma efetiva a criação de valor por seus projetos, prevalecendo uma visão de desempenho não alinhada aos resultados corporativos alcançados e que não colabora com o processo de melhoria e aprendizagem organizacional.

“…Specifically, the role of dependence is relatively under-explored in buyer-supplier relations research (Jean et al , 2012). Indisputably, ensuring a healthy implementation is targeted by scholars and industry professionals (Elvander et al , 2007; Govindan, 2013); however, attention to post-implementation of VMI is of extreme value as suggested by extant research (Waller et al , 1999; Barratt and Oliveira, 2001; Dolci and Maçada, 2014). This is due to investments required by the supply chain partners during implementation (Mishra, 2014) as well as the linkages between relational factors (i.e.…”
Purpose-More than two decades long technological improvements in information sharing have not yet ensured a flawless execution of vendor managed inventory (VMI) and left interested parties wondering about the reasons of poor results. Although VMI is a collaborative tool, the relational factors in a VMI setting have not received enough attention due to challenges in obtaining relational buyer-supplier data in addition to extant focus on analytical approaches. In this paper, post-implementation relational factors are investigated in order to extract relevant insights. Design/methodology/approach-Accounting for the duration of the VMI relationship, we focus on two dimensions of VMI often ignored post-implementation: dependence of the buyer on the VMI-supplier and trust of the buyer in the VMI-supplier. Cross-sectional data were collected using a survey collected from distributors mostly in auto and electrical supply industries, which have their inventories managed by manufacturers through VMI arrangements. The sample was obtained from a leading third-party VMI-platform service provider that serves thousands of distributormanufacturer locations with billions of dollars in sales orders. Multiple Ordinary-Least-Squares (OLS) regression has been used to test the hypotheses. Findings-This paper provides empirical support that in the post-implementation stage, longer VMI relationships are associated with higher distributor dependence on the manufacturer. In addition, too much dependence could actually hurt the distributor's trust in the manufacturer. Practical implications-We propose that distributors maintain some of the purchasing and inventory management skills in house to limit their dependencies on the manufacturers. Manufacturers should also invest in trust-building activities, such as regular communications with distributors. Originality/value-This is the first study providing empirical evidence on the (i) positive association between length of VMI relationship and buyer dependence on the supplier, and (ii) curvilinear dependence-trust link in a postimplementation VMI context.
“…From this perspective, a governance mechanism which is motivated by organizational objectives is jointly created based on the integration of the individual objectives of the parties which create the supply chain. In this case, cooperation, integration and confidence come to the forefront as the key aspects (Dolci and Maçada, 2014). Governance in supply chain network is defined as the value chain formed by the cooperation process which enables the parties of the supply chain with team spirit created with integrated objectives (Dyer, 2000).…”
Section: Theoretical Framework and Hypothesesmentioning
This study focuses on the impact of corporate governance, supply chain network governance and competencies such as sales and logistics competence on buyers’ intention to relationship continuity. A total number of 258 questionnaires were distributed to Turkish manufacturing firms, selected using cross-sectional sampling method from the Istanbul and Edirne Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Turkey. The data of survey was analysed using PLS-SEM model with WARP PLS 5.0 software. Our findings indicate that corporate governance and supply chain network governance seem to have a positive effect on sales competence and logistics competence, and together, they influence buyers’ intention to relationship continuity. In this respect, the outcomes of this study may provide valuable insights for the third-party logistics (3PL) literature in terms of buyers’ intention to relationship continuity.
