“…According to the view, the firms' innovative capability depends very closely on its knowledge (Cammarano et al 2019;Subramaniam and Youndt 2005;Martin-de Castro et al 2011). Thus, KBV provides a view of innovation from the perspective of knowledge (Aranda and Molina-Fernández 2002) and supports the belief that knowledge can be viewed as the intangible asset of a firm to improve innovation (Schütz et al 2020).…”

Cross-channel integration (CCI) has been adopted by firms to improve firm performance. However, the underlying mechanism by which CCI enhances firm performance remains unclear. To address this gap, we apply knowledge-based view and propose that CCI may affect firm innovation, thereby influencing firm performance. Specifically, we consider that exploratory innovation and exploitative innovation play the mediating roles between CCI and firm performance. In addition, the study explores the moderating effects of electronic commerce (EC) type (i.e., self-own website and third-party platform). We propose if CCI's effects differ in terms of EC type. Survey-based samples of 338 EC firms and structural equation modeling are employed to examine the research model. The results show that CCI can influence firm performance through the mediating role of exploitative innovation but not exploratory innovation. In addition, CCI has a stronger effect on firm innovation in third-party platform than in self-own website. This paper also discusses about the theoretical contributions and practical implications of the study.

“…Externally, they must motivate suppliers to provide resources and knowledge, while at the same time negotiate for increasing efficiency at low cost. How can high-cost savings be achieved while simultaneously increasing purchasing performance and other strategic priorities such as responsiveness or innovation (Sch€ utz et al 2020)?…”

Companies must pursue both exploration and exploitation of supplier's knowledge in increasingly competitive and complex production environments. This has been referred to as pursuing an ambidextrous supply strategy, extending the mobilisation of resources in pursuit of both aims beyond the borders of the lead manufacturer and into supplier organizations as well. Purchasing and supply management plays an increasingly central role in mobilizing and involving the suppliers in the pursuit of this agenda. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the literature on organizational ambidexterity and operations management by exploring how purchasing departments contribute to the organizational pursuit of organizational ambidexterity. We explore practices followed by purchasing departments for mediating tensions between supply networks and organizational functions.

“…The impact of supply chain partners on firm performance can be significant. The literature addresses the analysis of the effects of Supply Chain Management (SCM) relationships, including the impact of suppliers on buyer companies' performance (Prajogo, Chowdhury, Yeung, & Cheng, 2012; Salam & Smadi, 2016; Ateş, van Raaij, & Wynstra, 2018; Schütz, Kässer, Blome, & Foerstl, 2019). The strategic role of procurement is derived from the ability of the latter to contribute positively to a company's goals, operations, and competitiveness.…”

This paper offers a solution to the supplier selection problem and the problem of lot‐sizing decisions. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is seldom applied to help solve multilevel supplier selection problems. The order allocation problem is reformulated as a linear programming problem in a novel way. First, a Data Envelopment Analysis/common weights model (DEA/CWA) is introduced to help define the supplier pool of capable suppliers. Selection criteria include management and green criteria. In a second phase, a nonlinear mathematical programing model is offered to determine capacity distribution among selected suppliers. A numerical example is provided to support the theoretical model.
