“…In the centralised type of governance, a single actor controls all activities within the supply chains (Gallemore and Munroe 2013). Centralisation is typically associated with severe asymmetric information problems and little collaboration between actors (Salema and Buvik 2018). An example of centralised governance is the use of logistics service providers (LSPs) (Cai et al 2013;He et al 2013;Chen and Liu 2017).…”

Fresh agricultural products (FAPs) require special handling to maintain product quality, especially during socio-economic crises. In developing countries, there is a compelling need for a robust supply chain governance strategy to regulate the supply chain actors involved in the logistics and distribution system. This paper proposes an innovative way to design FAP logistics governance to address specific problems in the FAP logistics networks of developing countries, where FAP supply chains are not well integrated. Three logistics governance scenarios were modelled using discrete-event simulation. The results revealed that the fully distributed governance could effectively reduce process delay and consequently minimise logistics costs, especially within the logistics networks serving multiple markets. This is due to that fact that the distributed governance allows the actors involved in the network to have some autonomy to manage their resources. The paper contributes to improving the fundamental understanding of the governance for FAP logistics networks consisting of small-holder farms. Our work also offers valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners into how to improve FAP supply chain management.

“…Collaboration plays a key role in the integration of process and partnership among various members in supply chains (Dash et al, 2018;O'Callaghan and Murray, 2017;Salema and Buvik, 2018). From the network perspective, integrating individual networks at different levels of a supply chain (e.g., manufacturing and distribution) can provide visibility, flexibility and maintainability for improvement projects (Heikkilä et al, 2016;Sandberg and Mena, 2015).…”

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of supplier power within supply chain networks (SCN) on the depth of sustainability collaboration with their focal firms.A web-based survey was applied to two large Australian retailers' SCNs which resulted in receiving 67 completed questionnaires. A cluster analysis was conducted to create a suppliers' power taxonomy. ANOVA and Tukey tests were also used to explain the mean differences in the depth of collaborative relationships. This paper identifies four quadrants for suppliers based on their power at both network and node levels, highlighting the impact of power on the depth of collaboration in each quadrant. The results also indicate that the depth of collaboration between the focal firm and its suppliers increases when the suppliers' power increases at the network level and decreases at the node level.
