Toward a Peripheral View of Manufacturing Networks.

      Аннотация: This book unfolds into a collection of three distinct strategic management articles that share an interest in supply firms, or “peripheral firms”. The three studies offer a novel theoretical perspective named the "peripheral view of manufacturing networks". Building on the relational view research this new perspective identifies the supplier-based theoretical standpoint to analyze and explain the antecedents of relational rents in manufacturing networks. This work is aimed at contributing both to strategy and operations management scholars, and more in general to practitioners who deal with supply chain management in technology-based industries.
