“…Several authors have applied traditional organizational principles to study the PD and, more in general, the purchasing function (see Juha and Pentti 2008;Kim 2007;Johnson and Leenders 2006;Kotteaku et al 1995;Driedonks et al 2010).

Innovation is by far one of the most important competitive priorities in the current business context. Companies increasingly rely on their supply base to support their innovation potential. As a consequence, the purchasing department might dramatically affect the firm's innovation capability. This paper aims to investigate-using a multiple case study approach-how the organizational design of the purchasing department could determine a firm's capability to foster and manage innovation. Seven highly innovative companies were visited and the structures of their purchasing departments were analyzed. Three different configurations for the purchasing department were identified and described.

The aim of this paper is to identify areas for improving the level of supply chain management (SCM) execution. A conceptual model was developed that proposes internal and joint SCM conditions and the adoption of SCM processes as the main antecedents of SCM execution.Based on a survey of 174 senior managers representing large organizations structural equation modelling was conducted followed by a three-step importance-performance analysis. The results show that internal SCM conditions, specifically information technology and human resources, are the major drivers for improving the total level of SCM execution.

“…Gunasekaran, Lai, and Cheng (2008) consider supply chain management to be the most well-known strategy for improving competitiveness. Explicitly, a high level of integration between a firm and its suppliers and customers has long been regarded a major source of competitive advantage (Frohlich & Westbrook, 2001;S. W. Kim, 2007;Ragatz, Handfield, & Scannell, 1997).…”

Practitioners and academics have identified and acknowledged the presence of a gap related to actual and potential values of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology in the manufacturing industry. The purpose of this study is to present the RFID implementation in Swedish manufacturing firms, and if or to what extent use of this technology facilitates in increasing transparency of in-formation throughout the supply chain for manufacturing companies. The findings show that although the great majority of firms are actively working with integrated information systems, only a small fraction has adopted RFID.
