Managerial implications

The managerial implications were deduced from the discussion of the empirical results within the focus group. 

This research is a first step to investigate the effects of managerial instruments on opportunistic behaviour in supply networks. Based on the results of this study further research is necessary. A research design to analyze the cause-and-effect 

The role of partner selection in particular has to be investigated further. It appears that the degree of effort expended on this activity is less crucial than the actual procedure employed and the fiequency of reviews. The investigation of the structure and processes of partner selection and the effects of the specific steps of that process may prove interesting and valrrable. Only with such research will it be possible to give further recommendations for the design of partner selection. 

These preliminary findings have to be validated and investigated in more detail in further studies. For example studies which focus on specific industries or specific sizes of companies seem to be appropriate. The context of small and medium sized enterprises is an especially important area for further research as small and medium-sized enterprises are more highly dependent in terms of then-existence on efficient integration in supply networks, since increasingly they need to respond to pressiues of internationalization and specialization. 

This study has several hmitations. Firstly, the sample size is sufficient but a sample with more cases could have made the results more valid. Therefore, the results have to be evaluated in further research. There are also limitations related to the measures that were used. Due to restrictions on the length of the questionnaire the number of items was limited. This aspect probably reduced construct validity to some degree compared to more complete scales. The non-existence of appropriate measures also made it necessary to develop new items. Although the scales were developed on the theoretical and empirical basis the scales and indices need modification and refinement in future research. 

In line with the focus of this dissertation and the research questions, managerial implications apply mainly to the field of innovation management Yet as already mentioned in the introduction, there are other functional areas (e.g. marketing, human resources, and strategy) of the firm, for which the phenomenon of embedded lead users holds implications. In the remainder of this section I will focus especially on innovation management but touch upon these other issues as well.

In the multi-criteria model, the overall demand fulfillment ratio increased to 99% with some reduction in profits. A valuable outcome of this analysis was the trade-off evaluations for specific product-market combinations, where increases in sales reduced profitability. These insights led to valuable managerial implications for the evaluation of the firms competitive strategy. 

Finally, we presented a real-world application for designing a resilient global supply chain for a multinational consumer products company. A multi-criteria optimization model explicitly considered conflicting criteria that integrated financial, customer service, supply chain risk and strategic factors of the company. Model results and managerial implications were also presented. 

In part VIII summarize, contrast, and integrate the findings of the three studies. I show how this dissertation links to existing research and carve out my contributions. I derive managerial implications and conclude. 

The remainder of this article is organized as follows Sect. 2 describes the problem definition. Section 3 presents a bi-criteria MILP model for designing a four-stage supply chain network and the solution technique. In Sect. 4, we present an illustrative example. We also present some managerial implications of the model. Section 5 presents conclusions and future research directions. 

This section discusses some managerial implications for the study. The model can be used by companies to design their supply chain network considering supplier density. From the numerical example, the model tends to select a fewer number of...

The goal of this chapter is to identify the practical implications that accompany the supply chain topics previously presented. Just as the Chap. 6 (supply chain processes), it deals with the operationalization and implementation of strategic considerations, and presents the managerial implications of their execution. In particular, this chapter specifies the management of buyer-suppher relationships, which has already been discussed on a strategic level in Chap. 4 (Fig. 7.1).

Bearing in mind the cases studied, it is possible to hst the main managerial implications of the findings. Based on the results of the research, it can be concluded that the following steps are necessary for a business network to succeed ... 

We are going to present the core concepts of this research by firstly analysing the issue of quality assurance schemes and secondly discussing the role of alliances in supply chains in a broader perspective. Next, we discuss the establishment of these alliances as a form of increasing the competitiveness of beef in an agri-food chain. In this section the method and the procedures used in this research are described. The fourth section presents the results and discussion of the cases and, finally the main managerial implications and conclusions are synthesized. 

In this section, we describe the evaluation of safety inventories for both continuous and periodic-review replenishment policies. We highlight the fact that periodic review policies require more safety inventory than continuous review policies for the same level of product availability. To simplify the discussion, we focus on the CSL as the measure of product availability. The managerial implications are the same if we use fiU rate the analysis, however, is more cumbersome.

The remainder of this chapter will focus on a particularly important and vulnerable subset of the broader supply chain concept food supply chains. The first section will explore the importance and challenges associated with food supply chain secirrity. Section 2 will detail best in class secirrity practices used by firms in the food industry. Section 3 discusses the role of secirrity in the supplier selection decision. Finally, the chapter concludes with managerial implications. 

This chapter presents a summary of the goals and the contribution of the research presented in the work at hand (Chapter 7.1) as well as derived scientific and managerial implications on the value determination of SCIs (Chj jters 7.2 and 7.3). Concluding the work at hand, limitations of the conducted research (Chapter 7.4) and suggestions on further research within the pointed-out scope (Chapter 7.5) are exposed.
