讲座主要内容
1. Purchased products with positive sustainability and innovative attributes have a significant impact on the ESG profile across the value chain. Products with attributes such as recyclability with minimal impacts in terms of emissions, with proven health and safety qualities during production, use & disposal and without negative impacts on communities. A new Procurement Technology approach to combine Innovation and sustainability is necessary to drive the new mega trend. The study presentation indicates the importance of certain factors for enabling the procurement of a more innovative and sustainable solution. In particular，it illustrates the role of project champions driving change, senior management support, a good working relationship between buyer and supplier and the creation of a space in which trust and ideas generation can be enabled. Data is drawn from primary and secondary sources, observations and in-depth interviews with public and private stakeholders participating in the procurement process in International companies. We will provide also an overview on how Publishing High Quality Paper in Academic Journals in the area of Procurement and Supply Chain Management.
2. This paper considers a platform supply chain consisting of an e-market platform (EP) and a national brand (NB) manufacturer (NM). NM opens an agency selling channel on EP who endogenously determines whether to introduce a store brand (SB) to compete with NM. If EP introduces its SB, it has to select a production mode: in-house production, outsourcing to NM or a third-party manufacturer (TM). To account for both price competition in the sales stage and cooperation in the SB production stage, we propose four biform game models comprising the benchmark case without introducing SB (Model B), EP’s in-house production (Model I), co-production with NM (Model M), and co-production with TM (Model T). Analytical results show that: ① EP does not always have an incentive to introduce SB. When product substitutability is lower than a threshold, EP benefits from introducing SB. ② Product substitutability and manufacturing entry cost are two important factors affecting EP’s optimal SB production mode. When they are both at the low end, EP prefers to produce SB in house. Once the manufacturing entry cost is higher than a threshold or product substitutability is at the higher end, EP chooses to co-produce SB with TM. EP’s optimal strategy is to cooperate with NM under a higher manufacturing entry cost and the higher end of the lowest product substitutability. ③ EP’s SB introduction tends to benefit NM as well, but their interests are not always aligned. This interest divergence can be mitigated by a proper side payment.
