A company’s ability to best exploit performance potentials within buyer-supplier relationships has become a critical success factor in securing competition and improving a company's overall performance. Implementation of suitable mechanisms and execution of control activities across company boundaries – commonly executed by both partners – is often insufficient because actual improvement potentials are not identified correctly. Embedded in a contingency-based research framework, the author combines several statistical methods to empirically analyze causal relationships between performance and contingent performance-determinants. Resulting in a control process-oriented guideline, findings support companies in the design and use of performance control systems in buyer-supplier relationships and open the field for further research.   Contents n  A contingency-based model to better understand conditions under which managerial control in an inter-organizational context is effective n              Implications for performance evaluation processes to systemize and quantify the impact of contingent external factors on performance n              Assessment of the mediating effect of control on the relationship's performance   Target Groups ·         Researchers and students of business with a focus on administration supply chain management and management accounting ·         Supply chain managers   The Author: Dr. Konstantin Gebert received his doctor’s degree in business administration from the University of St. Gallen at the chair of Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Stölzle. Following his doctorate, he moved to industry working in project management.   The Editors: The series Suppy Chain Management is edited by Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Stölzle and Prof. Dr. Michael Essig.  .

This book aims to identify and describe the practical key components of demand driven supply chains, and based on these components, develops a structured and integrated assessment framework that companies can use to assess their current and desired future supply chain states in light of the Demand Driven Supply Chain (DDSC) concepts. Another contribution of the book is the structured framework developed to design a supply chain strategy, which will consider the DDSC assessment results as one of the key inputs, and will support the implementation of the opportunities identified during the assessment. The framework presented in this book was applied in different supply chain operations of a global CPG company to validate the methodology and formalize an action plan to allow these operations move towards a DDSC. Results show clear opportunities to improve supply chain operation and become more demand driven.

Based on more than 10 years of practical experience in the field of supply chain management, Oliver Münch indicates that in favor of sustainability within the supply chain the paradox purchasing savings can and should be substituted with the approach of the First-Time-Right Procurement. This dissertation subjects the monetary measurement of purchasing savings to a critical examination and questions whether it still applies. It indicates that monetary purchasing savings exert a negative impact on sustainable company success. In order to achieve a long-term sustainable success, it is proposed that the monetary measurement of purchasing savings can be replaced by measuring process times within the procurement organization.  Contents The development of First-Time-Right Procurement Implementing First-Time-Right in the source processes Replacing purchasing savings with First-Time-Right Procurement Measuring First-Time-Right Procurement  Target Groups Students and researchers in the fields of business administration and supply chain management Executives who are concerned with procurement/ purchasing or supply chain management  The Author Oliver Münch obtained his doctorate degree at the Cyprus International University under the supervision of Assist. Prof. Dr. Ali Öztüren. He currently works as the head of supply chain engineering in a German defense company.

Despite its strategic focus, supply management has not yet gained due recognition for its value contribution since it can still not reliably show its effects on the corporate bottom line. Based on practice-oriented and practice-relevant research methods, Anna Quitt, therefore, designs an integrated process for measuring supply management’s budget effects and develops Return on Spend as an innovative financial effectiveness indicator. She shows that transparent savings measurement needs to start with supply management’s budgeting integration to overcome current measurement deficiencies and to establish supply management as an equal business partner.
