Ausgestaltung der digitalen Vernetzung zwischen Investitionsgüterproduzenten und Lieferanten

Digital transformation of the economy is changing the way companies in supply chains communicate with each other. In this work, the author derives managerial options for establishing digital linkages between capital goods producers and suppliers. He thereby evaluates the suitability of information and communication technologies for establishing such linkages. Furthermore, the author analyses what effects information exchange has on performance. For companies, this shows the extent to which they must take into account contextual factors such as the complexity of a procurement task, relationship strength or their dependence on a partner when implementing digital linkages.
