    Coordination mechanisms in the store opening process2014Inngår i: International Journal of Retail & Distribution Management, ISSN 0959-0552, E-ISSN 1758-6690, Vol. 42, nr 6, s. 482-499Artikkel i tidsskrift (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    Purpose – For many retailers organic growth through the opening of new stores is a crucial cornerstone of the business model. The purpose of this paper is to explore the store opening process conducted by retail companies. The research questions cover: first, the role and organisation of the establishment function in charge of the process; second, the activities and functions involved in the process; and third, the coordination mechanisms applied during the process.

    Design/methodology/approach – This research considers the store opening process as a company-wide project, managed by an establishment function, in which internal functions as well as external suppliers need to be coordinated. A multiple case study of eight retail companies is presented, focusing on the organisation of the establishment function, a mapping of the store opening process and the application of coordination mechanisms.

    Findings – The role and organisation of the establishment function is described and the store opening process is summarised into 11 main activities to be conducted by either the establishment function or other involved functions. During the store opening process six different coordination mechanisms are utilised, including mutual adjustments and direct supervision, as well as different types of standardisation.

    Originality/value – This research seeks to improve our understanding for the store opening process and how it can be managed and controlled in an effective manner.

    Dynamic capabilities for the creation of logistics flexibility: a conceptual framework2021Inngår i: The International Journal of Logistics Management, ISSN 0957-4093, Vol. 32, nr 2, s. 696-714Artikkel i tidsskrift (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    Purpose – The purpose of this research is to develop a conceptual framework in which dynamic capabilities(DCs) for the creation of logistics flexibility are outlined, and elaborate it further based on empirical data from acase study at a Swedish fast fashion retailer.Design/methodology/approach – A conceptual framework that aims to delineate the relationship betweengeneric classes of DCs and logistics flexibility is proposed. Thereafter, based on a theory elaboration approach,empirical data from a case study at a Swedish fast fashion retailer is used to identify more specific DCs andfurther outline the characteristics of the DCs classes.Findings – The proposed framework draws on the three DC classes of sensing, seizing and reconfiguring, andhow they underscore logistics range and logistics response flexibility. The framework also distinguishesbetween DC classes and logistics flexibility that occur at operational, structural and strategic levels. DCs for thecreation of logistics flexibility at a Swedish fast fashion retailer have also been identified and described as ameans to further elaborate the characteristics of the DC classes.Research limitations/implications – Current empirical data is limited to one specific company context.Practical implications – The research presents a systematic and comprehensive map of different DCs thatunderscore logistics flexibility, a useful tool supporting logistics development efforts regarding flexibility.Originality/value – The establishment of a more detailed DC lens, in which different classes of DCs areincluded, means that an improved understanding for how flexibility is created can be achieved. It helps theresearch to move beyond the “here and now” existence of logistics flexibility to instead focus on how logisticsflexibility can be created.

    Dynamiska förmågor i handeln: insikter från akademin2014Inngår i: Supply Chain Effect, ISSN 2000-8457, nr 1, s. 28-31Artikkel i tidsskrift (Annet (populærvitenskap, debatt, mm))
    Abstract [sv]

    Denna artikel har argumenterat för behovet av dynamiska förmågor i svenska handelsföretag och försökt påvisa nyttan av att tänka i termer av dualiteter för att uppnå detta. Som exempel har också några grundläggande strategiska utmaningar uttryckt i dualiteter också presenterats. Artikeln ger inga enkla svar på hur handelsföretag ska bli mer dynamiska, men erbjuder ett nytt verktyg för att förhålla sig till - och uttrycka – företagets nuvarande och framtida strategiska utmaningar.

    Introducing the paradox theory in logistics and SCM research - examples from a global sourcing context2017Inngår i: International Journal of Logistics, ISSN 1367-5567, E-ISSN 1469-848X, Vol. 20, nr 5, s. 459-474Artikkel i tidsskrift (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    The purpose of this paper is to introduce and explore the use of paradox theory in a logistics and SCM research context. Although logistics and SCM scholars as well as practitioners have been aware about the existence of paradoxes, they have so far lacked a more formal theoretical framework for further identification and classification of these. Framed in the four general paradox classes of learning, belonging, organising and performing, the paper outlines paradoxes inherent in the global sourcing practices of two case companies. The findings demonstrate the paradox theory to be a useful tool for a systematic illumination and classification of paradoxes valuable for practitioners, researchers as well as teachers in the domain of logistics and SCM. The paradox theory may also help to identify and emphasise inconsistencies among different research fields. This is particularly valuable for research areas built upon multiple research disciplines such as global sourcing. In conclusion, the paper suggests that the paradox theory offers a new lens through which an organisation could be better explored, described and understood.

    Logistics Collaboration in Supply Chains: A Survey of Swedish Manufacturing Companies2005Licentiatavhandling, monografi (Annet vitenskapelig)
    Abstract [en]

    The purpose of this thesis is to describe logistics collaboration in supply chains. During the past two decades, a new trend towards integration and collaboration in supply chains has been recognised among researchers as well as among business practitioners. This philosophy is called supply chain management and has received enormous attention in logistics research. Collaboration based on supply chain management is expected to reduce total cost and improve service towards the supply chain’s end customers at the same time.

    The argumentation in existing literature is however seldom underpinned by more rigorous empirical material and becomes therefore conceptual and superficial. Furthermore, it is incongruous about what actually is done when companies collaborate and what more specific effects are achieved. Therefore more research, especially survey based, is needed in order to verify existing literature. In this thesis the perspective of a focal company is taken in order to concretise the ideas from supply chain management and investigate what it means for an individual company.

    Based on supply chain management literature, a questionnaire was constructed which focused on the content of the collaboration and its driving forces, barriers and effects. Furthermore, differences between triadic collaborations, i.e. collaborations where both the supplier and customer of the focal company are involved, and dyadic collaborations (collaboration with either a supplier or a customer) were investigated.

    The questionnaire was mailed to 482 Swedish manufacturing companies which had a turnover of more than SEK 100 Million per annum and with more than 100 employees. This population was considered as a typical target group for the supply chain management literature. 177 usable answers were received which gives a response rate of 37.8%.

    The results from this study are summarised in five propositions. It is proposed that the content of logistics collaboration in the Swedish manufacturing companies’ supply chains is rather operative in its character and does not reach the strategic level that is advocated by the literature. In particular, the degree of process approach in the collaborations is low. This area has a great potential for improvements.

    The results also indicate that the intensity of the collaboration, i.e. frequency of information sharing, degree of joint operative planning of involved supply chain activities, and process approach, are positively related to the effects experienced of the collaboration. The relation between joint strategic planning and the operative collaboration issues is however weak and does not seem to influence the effects experienced as a consequence of the collaboration.

    Furthermore, engagement from top management is recognised as an important driver for successful collaboration. Top management involvement means an increased internal focus on the collaboration and facilitates more intensive collaboration.

    Finally, differences in attitude and behaviour are recognised depending on whom the collaboration partner is. The study shows that the traditional way of managing supply chain relations still dominates, where the focal company “demand what he wants” upstream much more than in the case for downstream relations. Such differences according to SCM literature should not exist and can be considered as a serious threat for SCM based collaboration.

    Logistik och strategi: för lönsamhet och tillväxt2015 (oppl. 1)Bok (Annet vitenskapelig)
    Abstract [sv]

    Logistik har de senaste åren blivit ett allt viktigare konkurrensmedel för många företag. Med logistiken som grund kan långsiktig lönsamhet och tillväxt skapas. Grundtanken med denna bok är att förklara logistikens roll utifrån ett företagsstrategiskt perspektiv. Därmed går boken utanför det som vanligtvis ses som logistikforskning och logistikteorier, och tar i stället sin utgångspunkt i strategiteori.

    Bokens första del belyser logistikens strategiska betydelse utifrån tre strategiteoretiska perspektiv: marknadspositioneringsperspektivet, det resursbaserade perspektivet och det dynamiska perspektivet. Dessa perspektiv har dominerat strategiforskningen de senaste tre decennierna och kan ses som tre olika "glasögon" som bidrar med insikter till logistikområdet. Bokens andra del ägnas åt mer praktiska aspekter kring hur företaget ska agera när logistik är ett strategiskt konkurrensmedel. Här beskrivs en logistikbaserad affärsmodell samt företagsledningens roll i logistiken.

    Orchestration capabilities in circular supply chains of post-consumer used clothes – A case study of a Swedish fashion retailer2023Inngår i: Journal of Cleaner Production, ISSN 0959-6526, E-ISSN 1879-1786, Vol. 387, artikkel-id 135935Artikkel i tidsskrift (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    In a circular economy environment, resources in various supply chain loops need to be continuously developed and coordinated across an ecosystem of independent companies. The purpose of this study is to explore the orchestration capabilities of an ecosystem-leading company in circular textile supply chains. The study takes an interactive research approach at a Swedish fashion retailer and describes the three overarching orchestration capabilities of (1) managing circular consumer offerings, (2) managing circular supply chain activities, and (3) partnering. Based on the emergent theoretical lens of orchestration capabilities, this research increases knowl- edge on how to manage circular practices across organizations. In particular, the findings signal the importance of how to organize resources in conjunction with consumer offerings and how an ecosystem-leading company can do this. The circular ecosystem context also draws attention to the need for collaboration. Collaboration is considered a major characteristic of successful ecosystem performance, and the orchestration capabilities developed in this research provide a useful perspective and guidance for designing such collaboration.

    Paradoxer i handelsföretags globala inköpsarbete2014Inngår i: Intelligent Logistik, nr 6-7, s. 30-33Artikkel i tidsskrift (Annet (populærvitenskap, debatt, mm))
    Abstract [sv]

    Globala inköp är fulla av paradoxer. Men istället för att sträva efter att bygga bort osäkerheter i försörjningskedjan, behöver dagens globala inköpsorganisationer lära sig leva med dessa osäkerheter. Det kräver kunnighet och en ny inställning hos företagsledningen, skriver docent Erik Sandberg, Linköpings Universitet.

    Paradoxes in retail global sourcing: A literature review2014Konferansepaper (Annet vitenskapelig)
    Abstract [en]

    Global sourcing, typically defined as "an advanced approach to sourcing and supply management that involves integrating and coordinating common materials, processes, designs, technologies and suppliers across worldwide buying, design and operating locations" (Trent & Monczka, 2005, p 24), represents extensive challenges in a wide range of organisational matters for retail companies. To successfully organise and design global sourcing activities means an act of balance between different strategies and goals inherent in the company. For instance, total costs against service and lead times must be considered, an appropriate number of suppliers must be decided, and different types of contemporary investments must be weighed against future gains and losses. This article therefore argues that for successful global sourcing, organisational paradoxes need to be managed.

    Supply chain capabilities in the circular textile-to-textile recycling supply chain2022Konferansepaper (Annet vitenskapelig)
    Abstract [en]

    Purpose

    The textile and fashion industry currently undergoes a shift towards more circular practices, and post consumer used textiles are increasingly brought into circular flows typically including reuse, resell and repair. To decrease the share of landfill and incineration, large-scale textile-to-textile recycling practices need to be developed as a complement to these reuse-alternatives. The purpose of this study is to explore supply chain capabilities required in the textile-to-textile recycling supply chain.

    Design/methodology/approach

    Based on an action research approach, empirical data to this study has been collected at a large fashion retailer, currently involved in a pilot project aimed at understanding the end-to-end, fibre-to-fibre recycling supply chain practices and its involved stakeholders.

    Findings

    Three major supply chain capabilities were identified: standardisation of products, managing inventories, and designing supply chains. Their content and importance are elaborated in the context of the textile-to-textile recycling supply chain, which is characterised by rapidly increasing volumes, consumer requirements, and technology developments.

    Research limitations/implications

    Recent technology developments such as chemical fibre-to-fibre recycling and automated textile sorting are currently accelerating the development of new circular supply chains of low-value textile waste. Supply chain capabilities are imperative for efficient and effective logistics operations in these supply chains.

    Original/value

    In contrast to circular business models focused on reuse-alternatives, the textile-to-textile recycling supply chain is much less explored, despite it is anticipated to play a major role in a future, more circular, textile and fashion industry.

    The retail industry in Western Europe: trends, facts and logistics challenges2010Rapport (Annet vitenskapelig)
    Abstract [en]

    Retail companies in the Western European markets are facing a magnitude of challenges not seen before in terms of decreased profits and fierce price pressure. The retail industry in Sweden is not an exception. Recent years the development in many sectors has accelerated and international trends have been diffused to the Swedish market. However, in terms of maturity and price pressure it is still lagging behind the largest markets in Europe, and it is therefore valuable to consider the Western European markets and learn from their development in recent years. As a result of being the largest retail market in Europe, a special focus has in this report been given to the German market and German literature in the area.

    The purpose of this report is to (1) summarise and structure recent literature about overall business trends in the retail industry, in particular those on the Western European markets, (2) summarise literature about logistics trends and challenges in the Western European retail industry, (3) give an overview of the do-it-yourself (DIY) and food sectors and their development in Europe and in particular Germany, and (4) present the German DIY retailer Hornbach and the German food discount retailer Aldi as case studies.

    Except for changed demographic structures, that indirectly affect the retail industry, the most influential trends identified in the literature are internationalisation, private labelling, development of different store concepts, consolidation and vertical integration, and technology development. This report outlines these trends more in detail and relates them to the logistics challenges they represent. The report as such indicates the growing importance of logistics operations in order to tackle the trends and stay competitive.

    Special attention is in this report given to the DIY and food sectors. The DIY sector has got increased importance in recent years whereas the food sector is the by far largest and most influential sector in the retail industry, and a sector from which other sectors are inspired.

    In addition, two case studies at the German DIY retailer Hornbach and the German food retailer are presented in this report. The two companies represent two best practice cases within the retail industry, although they are competing with very different means and strategies.

    The Role of Top Management in Supply Chain Management Practices2007Doktoravhandling, monografi (Annet vitenskapelig)
    Abstract [en]

    Supply chain management (SCM) has been discussed by researchers as well as business practitioners for more than two decades now, but still surprisingly little of this philosophy can be seen in today’s business practices. One important enabler for taking the SCM philosophy from theory into practice that is often mentioned, but not investigated in-depth, is top management support. The role top management plays in a company’s SCM practices could be an important piece of research that is not yet in place in the big SCM puzzle. The purpose of this dissertation is therefore to describe and explain the role of top management in a company’s supply chain management practices. The purpose is approached with the aid of two studies, where the second is partly built upon the findings from the first. The first study is an explorative, broad survey study aimed at investigating how companies’ SCM practices, here limited to include a focal company’s logistics collaboration with suppliers and customers, are performed. In the second study, which is an explanative, multiple case study, the role of top management is investigated more in detail.

    The empirical foundation for the survey study is a questionnaire that was constructed based on SCM literature. The questionnaire was sent in November 2004 to 482 logistics managers at Swedish manufacturing companies and a response rate of 177 usable questionnaires (37.8%) was achieved. Apart from purely descriptive statistics such as mean values, standard deviation and frequencies, other tests were used such as factor analysis, cluster analysis, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and cross tabulations with χ-square tests. The results are summarised into five major findings, concluding that (1) existing collaborations are mainly performed at an operational level in the companies, (2) there are differences in the focal company’s attitude and behaviour depending on if the collaboration partner is situated downstream or upstream in the supply chain, (3) increased intensity in the collaboration results in more positive effects, (4) top management involvement is an important driver for increased intensity of the collaboration, and (5) top management involvement in a dyadic collaboration is an important driver for increased collaboration with supply chain members on the other side of the focal company.

    The empirical basis for the multiple case study is three companies considered to be best practice within SCM. In total 15 focused, open-ended interviews with members of the top management teams were conducted during winter 2006-2007. All interviews were typed and transcribed, and objective case descriptions with citations were thereafter written. The analysis includes separate analysis of each case as well as cross case analysis. The SCM framework that was used in the first study was complemented with a framework on business strategy theory in the second study. More specifically, the analysis incorporates the positioning perspective, the resource based view, and Mintzberg’s view on the strategy formation process.

    The theoretical contribution of this dissertation is mainly given to the SCM field. In short, the results include a more thorough explanation of top management’s role in a company’s SCM practices. Six archetypes of this role are presented; the supply chain thinker, the frame setter, the process designer, the relationship manager, the controller, and the organiser for the future. Other implications for SCM literature being discussed in the conclusions are that (1) a systems approach should be considered separate from collaborative thinking, (2) the interdependencies in the investigated supply chains are mainly serial, (3) a systems approach is not the same as having a pure process orientation, (4) the responsibility for logistics issues is shared among members of the top management team, and (5) top management is not directly involved in the company’s distinctive logistics capabilities.

    Purpose – Logistics scholars, as well as strategic management scholars, have in recent years shown that capabilities in logistics and supply chain management may be the foundation for a company's sustainable competitive advantage. It can be argued that beside product-, production-, or market-oriented companies, there are also flow-oriented companies, in which the business models are based on superior logistics performance. The purpose of this study is to explore the characteristics of logistics-based competition, i.e. how a logistics-based business model is designed.

    Design/methodology/approach – The research is based on a case study at a German do-it-yourself retailer. The case company can be considered as a best practice company when it comes to logistics-based competition, where a committed top management team guarantees the importance of logistics in the strategic development of the company.

    Findings – Logistics-related characteristics of the three business model components – external environment, internal factors and offering – are elaborated.

    Originality/value – This research adds to existing theory by developing the meaning of logistics-based competition. The strategic role of logistics is described through a business model approach.

    Understanding the role of logistics in retail purchasing groups2012Konferansepaper (Annet vitenskapelig)
    Abstract [en]

    For many retail purchasing groups, i.e. independent retailers that cooperate concerning joint purchasing, branding, and other activities, capabilities related to logistics are becoming increasingly important for sustainable competitive advantage. The objective of this research is to, based on two case studies of Swedish retail purchasing groups, develop our understanding of the role of logistics in such groups. The article considers retail purchasing groups that have deliberately extended their centralised purchasing collaboration to also include other activities, in particular logistics activities. These groups are expected to benefit from economies of scale not only in purchasing, but also from marketing and logistics activities and hence compete on more similar conditions as other retail chains, typically mega-retailers that often represent best practice in the retail industry today. In the findings, market strategy and organisational matters as well as advantages of being a member of a purchasing group with centralised logistics, is discussed. In particular the existence of a central warehouse plays a vital role in terms of advantages of being a member of a purchasing group.

    Exploring organizational learning and experimental logistics development at the global fashion retailer H&M2022Inngår i: Global Business and Organizational Excellence, ISSN 1947-2587, E-ISSN 1932-2062, Vol. 41, nr 2, s. 6-20Artikkel i tidsskrift (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    A logistics learning capability based on an experimental “test-and-learn” approach holds the key to unlock logistics operations as a major competitive weapon in the current landscape of retailing. The purpose of this study is to empirically explore the characteristics of such a logistics learning capability, and to describe the corresponding logistics development practices. The research is based on an action research approach conducted at the Swedish fashion retailer H&M. During a period of 18 months, data has been collected through observations, informal discussions and interviews, and findings have been refined in two major cycles. The case of H&M offers insights into real existing learning and development practices at a retail company that operates in a highly competitive and complex retail landscape, characterized in particular by its process towards improved omni-channel practices. The findings elaborate the four logistics learning components of culture, structure, relationships, and speed. Furthermore, five of H&M's logistics development practices are described and defined as experimental logistics development. In contrast to traditional development processes in which analysis is followed by lengthy linear implementation and evaluation phases, these practices are characterized by an experimental, “test-and-learn” approach with short feedback loops and iterative development processes.

    Flödesorientering av globalt inköpsarbete2016Rapport (Annet vitenskapelig)
    Abstract [sv]

    Under senare år har globalt inköp fått en allt större strategisk betydelse för svenska handelsföretag. Tidigare forskning har visat att globalt inköpsarbete kan vara en avgörande konkurrensfördel, samtidigt som det innebär stora utmaningar. För at t framgångsrikt utnyttja globalt inköp som en konkurrensfördel behöver svenska handelsföretag bli mer flödesorienterade. Försörjningskedjans resurser som helhet, och inte bara företagets egna, behöver utnyttjas för att kunna skapa konkurrenskraft. Med bakgrund i det faktum att leveransförmågan och därmed kundservicen aldrig blir bättre än vad varuförsörjningen tillåter, spelar organiseringen av det globala inköpet en avgörande roll.

    Syftet med projektet är att öka förståelsen för hur svenska handelsföretag ska organisera sitt globala inköpsarbete för en högre grad av flödesorientering.

    Inom ramen för forskningsprojektet har forskningsfrågor adresserats om:

    1. parametrar för valet av inköpsregion och specifik leverantör,
    2. det fysiska flödet av produkter, samt
    3. organisationsformer för globalt inköp.

    Teoretiskt har projektet tagit utgångspunkt i litteratur om globalt inköp, flödesorientering och så kallad paradoxteori. Projektets empiriska bas är två fallstudier (Hultafors Group AB:s division för arbetskläder, Snickers, och Indiska Magasinet AB), samt en enkätstudie bland inköpschefer på svenska handelsföretag. Totalt har sju konferenspapper, ett journalpapper och två populärvetenskapliga artiklar författats inom ramen för projektet. Dessa är projektets huvudsakliga leverabler som alla på olika sätt bidrar till att besvara projektets syfte och forskningsfrågor. Den här rapporten är en populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning av forskningsprojektet.

    Resultaten visar att kostnader, service, ledtider, såväl som miljö- och CSR-relaterade parametrar spelar en viktig roll vid valet av region och specifik leverantör. Framförallt är det totalkostnaden (pris och någon form av ”hemtagningskostnad”) och ledtider som är de mest avgörande parametrarna. Miljö- och CSR-relaterade aspekter anses ha mindre betydelse. Paradoxperspektivet visar på behovet av att balansera prestationsmått gentemot varandra. Vid utvärderingar av en ny leverantör eller en ny leverantörsregion är det viktigt att ta hänsyn till ett brett spektrum av olika kriterier. För det fysiska flödet finns möjligheter till att konsolidera flödet till noder i Asien och/eller Europa. Studien visar att olika alternativ finns, och att det också finns alternativ till transportslaget båt, som idag dominerar på grund av förhållandevis låga transportkostnader. Dessa alternativ kan bli mycket intressanta i de fall där ledtiderna behöver kortas. För utformningen av en global inköpsorganisation visar våra resultat att tre av de mest tydliga parametrarna som är viktiga att förstå och analysera är:

    1. graden av vertikal integration, det vill säga i vilken utsträckning som handelsföretaget bör äga aktörer uppströms i försörjningskedjan,
    2. graden av ansvarstagande för försörjningskedjans prestation, det vill säga hela försörjningskedjans prestationer gentemot slutkunderna, samt
    3. graden av ömsesidigt, långsiktigt samarbete, det vill säga där företaget tillsammans med andra aktörer i försörjningskedjan utvecklar försörjningskedjans prestationer.

    För praktiker bidrar resultaten från detta projekt med nya insikter och perspektiv på hur företag bör tänka kring sin organisation av det globala inköpet. De ska fungera som en katalysator och inspiration för svenska handelsföretag som vill utveckla sin konkurrenskraft med hjälp av sitt globala inköp. Forskningsmässigt är globalt inköp i handelsföretag ett område som också fortsättningsvis är i behov av ny kunskap och utveckling. Den roll och betydelse som inköpsorganisationen har för konkurrenskraften förändras hela tiden och lär fortsätta göra det. Den snabba utvecklingen gör också att forskningen behöver hänga med: globalt inköp som forskningsobjekt behöver ständigt belysas med hjälp av nya teoretiska perspektiv och gamla sanningar behöver kontinuerligt utmanas och ifrågasättas. Ju mer global konkurrens inom handeln, desto viktigare blir frågan om hur det globala inköpet ska utformas.

    Logistics capabilities for sustainable competitive advantage2011Inngår i: International Journal of Logistics, ISSN 1367-5567, E-ISSN 1469-848X, Vol. 14, nr 1, s. 61-75Artikkel i tidsskrift (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    The purpose of this paper is to explore how sustainable competitive advantage is generated in two Swedish

    best practice companies that successfully exploit logistics as a source for competitive advantage. Using

    a theoretical framework based on the resource-based view of the firm, this research elaborates on the

    links between operational and dynamic logistics capabilities and sustainable competitive advantage. The

    findings conclude that a sustainable competitive advantage is based on a combination of efficient and effective

    logistics operations and well-functioning, adjusted, in-house-developed IT systems. This operational

    capability is in turn sustained through five dynamic capabilities: managerial knowledge and presence,

    cross-functional teamwork, control, learning and supply chain relationships.

    Logistikdriven Affärsutveckling2019 (oppl. 1)Bok (Annet vitenskapelig)
    Abstract [sv]

    För att kunna möta nya utmaningar och tillvarata alla de möjligheter som ges av den allt intensivare digitaliseringen behöver näringslivet och samhället i stort förnyas. I ett sådant utvecklingsarbete blir logistikdriven affärsutveckling en viktig ledstjärna. Ökad flödes­orientering bidrar till bättre lönsamhet och tillväxt, men också till att lösa större samhällsutmaningar i form av miljöpåverkan och social hållbarhet.

    I den här boken sätts logistiken in i ett strategiskt sammanhang där konkurrenskraft är i fokus, snarare än de traditionella logistiska måttstockarna kostnad, service och ledtid. Med det som grund diskuteras logistikutmaningar för fyra olika sektorer: detaljhandeln, industrin, transportbranschen och den offentliga sektorn. Författarna diskuterar även den högsta ledningens och styrelsens viktiga roller i logistikdriven affärsutveckling.

    Boken vänder sig såväl till studenter vid tekniska högskolor och handelshögskolor som till styrelser, företagsledningar och logistik­ansvariga i näringslivet och i offentlig sektor.

    The role of top management in supply chain management practices2010Inngår i: International Journal of Retail & Distribution Management, ISSN 0959-0552, E-ISSN 1758-6690, Vol. 38, nr 1, s. 57-69Artikkel i tidsskrift (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    Purpose – Despite the often stated importance, little about top management's role in supply chain management (SCM) practices is known. The purpose of this paper is therefore to explore the role of top management in two retail companies that successfully utilise opportunities given by SCM practices.Design/methodology/approach – As an empirical basis for the research, two Swedish retail companies are explored. Members of the top management teams have been interviewed about their role in the company and their priorities.Findings – The top management role is described by introducing four archetypes; the supply chain thinker, the relationship manager, the controller and the organiser for the future.Originality/value – This paper adds to existing theory by giving a more detailed description of top management's role in SCM practices, i.e. how SCM practices could actually be managed, and, in the extension, to the understanding for what is needed to implement more SCM practices in real existing companies and supply chains.

    Coordination and waste in industrialised housing2011Inngår i: Construction Innovation, ISSN 1471-4175, E-ISSN 1477-0857, Vol. 11, nr 1, s. 77-91Artikkel i tidsskrift (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    Purpose – This study maintains that there is a need for proper execution of coordination mechanisms as a means to reduce waste. The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between the coordination of activities and resources on the one hand, and the occurrence of different types of waste on the other.

    Design/methodology/approach – The empirical context of this paper is a case study at a Swedish construction company that has applied the industrialised housing concept; a concept which has increased in popularity in recent years. The core concept of industrialised housing means that houses are (more or less) pre-manufactured in specific production units, i.e. factories, and thereafter assembled on-site.

    Findings – The analysis highlights the importance of having the right type as well as the right amount of coordination. In addition, obstacles and challenges for proper coordination are discussed.

    Originality/value – Even if not all waste can be explained and eliminated by appropriate coordination, this research shows that coordination theory provides lean researchers with a new tool for analysis of the supply chain and how waste can be eliminated.

    Exploring value creation and appropriation in the reverse clothing supply chain2016Inngår i: The Proceedings of 21st International Symposium on Logistics (ISL 2016): Sustainable Transport and Supply Chain Innovation / [ed] KS Pawar and KM Tsai, Nottingham, UK: Centre for Concurrent Enterprise, Nottingham University Business School , 2016, s. 340-348Konferansepaper (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    Purpose of this paper:

    The purpose of this paper is to explore the two processes of value creation and appropriation among companies in a reverse clothing supply chain. The value concept has in recent years got increased attention in research on reverse logistics (Jayaraman and Luo, 2007). However, there is still a lack of more detailed understanding of the values created. There is also a need to not only consider the value creation, but also how the value is appropriated among supply chain members. Whereas the value creation process is concerned with the total amount of value created among supply chain members, the value appropriation process decides the involved companies’ ability to extract money from the value created (Wagner et al., 2010).

     

    Design/methodology/approach:

    Grounded in the two fundamental processes of creating and appropriating value (Mizik and Jacobsen, 2003), this paper applies the value concept on a reverse supply chain. The paper is based on a case study of the take-back scheme for used clothes in the textile fashion industry. The case study includes retailers, charity organisations, profit-making recyclers and specialised sorting companies.

     

    Findings:

    By focusing on the value creation processes, and the type of use value each supply chain member creates, and the processes of value appropriation among the supply chain members, this paper provides an improved understanding of the reverse clothing supply chain and its members.

     

    Value:

    The value concept has so far been discussed at a superficial level in research on reverse supply chains. This research demonstrates that the value concept, including value creation as well as appropriation, helps to understand the rationale behind a certain supply chain structure in terms of participating supply chain members, types of activities conducted, and division of responsibility.

     

    Practical implications (if applicable):

    Different incitements for being involved in a reverse clothing supply chain may result in different types of relationships, ranging from collaboration to fierce arms-length agreements, among supply chain members.

    Dynamic capabilities for the scaling of circular business model initiatives in the fashion industry2021Inngår i: Journal of Cleaner Production, ISSN 0959-6526, E-ISSN 1879-1786, Vol. 320, artikkel-id 128831Artikkel i tidsskrift (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    The scaling of circular business models (CBMs) plays a decisive role in the transformation toward more sustainable business practices. The purpose of this paper is to explore the microfoundations of dynamic capabilities (DCs) involved in the scaling of CBM initiatives. Based on semi-structured, in-depth interviews with 12 Swedish retail fashion companies, this research outlines a variety of microfoundations involved in CBM scaling practices. The Swedish fashion sector offers a rich empirical basis for further exploration of the microfoundations required for the scaling of CBMs. The study is theoretically grounded in a combination of the three DC classes of sensing, seizing, and reconfiguring, and the three scaling logics of scaling out, scaling up, and scaling deep. This combination provides several new insights with respect to the expansion and growth of CBMs. In particular, the research emphasizes the actual activities and processes involved in efforts toward the scaling of CBM initiatives, which have so far only been researched to a minor extent. Furthermore, the application of different scaling logics offers clarity and a constructive understanding of how circular business practices can be scaled beyond the individual firm or CBM initiative. For practitioners, the combination of DC classes and scaling logics into a 3 × 3 matrix offers a tool for the identification, understanding, and organization of the dynamic capabilities required for different scaling logics of CBMs.
