abstract: The dissertation aims to provide a new perspective on the management of multi-tier supply chains. When a firm decides to buy a product from a supplier, the buying firm also needs to decide whether to use the supplier to make the lower-tier sourcing decisions or to make those decisions in-house. I call the former "supply chain-buy" and the latter "supply chain-make." If the choice is supply chain-buy, the buying firm releases sourcing control of its bill of materials (BOM) to the top-tier supplier and this supplier, then engages with the supply base to determine the BOM's supply chain. If the choice is supply chain-make, the buying firm maintains sourcing control of the BOM and engages with its own supply base to select the lower-tier suppliers. The dissertation provides a theoretical foundation and empirical observations for understanding the supply chain make-buy decisions. The dissertation consists of three main chapters: Chapter 2 extends the make-or-buy literature into the multi-tier supply management context to provide theoretical reasons for engaging in supply chain-make as opposed to supply chain-buy. Building on transaction cost economics, the knowledge-based view, and structural hole theory, Chapter 2 explains the phenomenon that cannot be fully explained by a single-theoretic perspective. Chapter 3 empirically investigates the economic and behavioral factors that influence individual purchasing managers' supply chain make-buy decision-making. Specifically, the roles of behavioral uncertainty, interpersonal trust, and familiarity are considered. A scenario-based behavioral experiment involving the members of the Institute for Supply Management is employed. Lastly, Chapter 4 studies the performance implications of particular supply network structures influenced by supply chain make-buy decisions. Supply chain make-buy decisions can affect the prevalence of structural holes in supply networks. Chapter 4 investigates the different types of structural holes in supply networks. It provides a novel way of understanding structural holes in the supply network context by distinguishing structural holes between the focal firm's suppliers (horizontal structural holes) from those between its customers and suppliers (vertical structural holes). Panel data on supply networks and firm financial indicators are used for analysis in Chapter 4. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Business Administration 2017

Empresas de manufatura contratada terão sucesso se conseguirem definir sua estratégia por meio do desenvolvimento de competências operacionais alinhadas aos requisitos do mercado, direcionando decisões e ações que as impulsionem a obterem um melhor desempenho. As incertezas, tanto de produtos como de volumes que serão demandados, envolvidas no relacionamento com as empresas-cliente reduzem a oportunidade de um planejamento antecipado da produção, requerendo, então, uma política de atendimento da demanda do tipo make-to-order (MTO). O grande desafio enfrentado pelas empresas que operam no ambiente MTO é atender à demanda do cliente de forma rápida e confiável, ou seja, respeitando-se os prazos e as quantidades requeridos. O objetivo geral deste trabalho foi analisar como práticas do sistema Lean Manufacturing (LM) poderiam ser efetivamente implementadas em conjunto a um sistema de planejamento e controle da produção (PCP) apropriado, visando ao desenvolvimento de competências operacionais alinhadas à política MTO. Os objetivos específicos do estudo concentraram-se em identificar na literatura as principais competências operacionais requeridas no ambiente MTO, discutir o processo de implementação de práticas do sistema LM e comparar, conceitualmente, sistemas de PCP. A empresa de manufatura contratada escolhida para este estudo representava um caso puro da utilização da política MTO, dada a natureza de seu relacionamento com os clientes. A aplicação da metodologia pesquisa-ação permitiu que o estudo fosse conduzido de forma participativa e com uma abordagem de solução de problemas, além de fornecer um roteiro de referência, relacionando as etapas da pesquisa aos conceitos abordados na literatura. Como resultado, verificou-se que a adoção de práticas do sistema LM auxilia de forma significativa no desenvolvimento de competências operacionais em empresas que operam em ambientes MTO. No entanto, é necessário que estas práticas estejam associadas a um sistema de PCP apropriado - Workload Control (WLC) - para que se obtenham os resultados esperados. / Contract manufacturing companies will succeed if they can define their strategy through the development of operational competencies aligned to market requirements, directing decisions and actions that lead them to have a better performance. The relationship with the hiring firm involves multiple products and demand uncertainty, reducing the opportunities for advanced planning, requiring a make-to-order (MTO) demand management policy. The main challenge faced by companies operating in an MTO environment is to achieve high delivery reliability in terms of order quantities and delivery schedules. The general objective of this study was to analyze how Lean Manufacturing (LM) practices could be effectively implemented together with an appropriate production planning and control system (PPC), aiming to develop operational competences aligned to the MTO policy. The specific objectives of this study include identifying in the literature the main operational competencies required to operate on a MTO basis, discussing the LM implementation process and comparing conceptually PPC systems. The contract manufacturing company chosen for this study operated according to a MTO policy due to the nature of its relationship with the customers. The application of the action research methodology allowed conducting the study in a participative manner, using a problem solving approach and providing a reference guide relating the action research steps to concepts discussed in the literature review. As a result, it was found that the adoption of LM practices contributes substantially to the development of operational competences in companies operating in an MTO environment. However, it is necessary that these practices are associated with an appropriated PPC - Workload Control - to obtain the expected results.

Este trabalho tem por objetivo compreender os modos de aquisição de informação para exportação, realizando a aplicação de um modelo desenvolvido por Souchon & Diamantopoulos (1999). O trabalho utiliza tem uma abordagem descritiva conclusiva por meio de uma amostragem não-probabilística e a seleção de sua amostra foi por conveniência. Além da aplicação do modelo que indica três modos de aquisição de informações, sendo (1) pesquisa de marketing em mercados externos; (2) serviços de apoio à exportação; e (3) inteligência de mercado para exportação, é realizada uma avaliação de como as empresas exportadoras da região de Ribeirão Preto/SP utilizam estes diferentes modos de aquisição de informação. Também é realizada uma avaliação da aplicação do modelo teórico e uma avaliação da intercambiabilidade dos modos de aquisição de informação para exportação. Os resultados obtidos indicam a predominância da inteligência de mercado para exportação como modo de aquisição de informação preferencial. São indicadas as formas que as empresas entrevistadas utilizam como lidam com os modos de aquisição e qual é a importância de cada modo de informação. Ao final, são apresentadas as conclusões dos estudos realizados, indicando que outros estudos podem ser desenvolvidos para melhor compreender a inteligência de mercado com um todo. / This work has for objective to understand export information acquisition modes, accomplishing the application of Souchon & Diamantopoulos\' model (1999). The work uses has a conclusive descriptive approach through a sampling no-probabilistic and the selection of sample was for convenience. Besides the application of the model that indicates three export information acquisition modes, being (1) export marketing research; (2) export assistance; And (3) export marketing intelligence, an evaluation is accomplished of as the companies exporters of the area Ribeirão Preto / SP they use these different export information acquisition modes. It is also accomplished an evaluation of the application of the theoretical model and an evaluation of the interexchangeable of the export information acquisition modes. The obtained results indicate the predominance of the market intelligence for export as way of acquisition of preferential information. They are suitable the forms that the companies interviewees use how they work with the acquisition manners and which is the importance in each way of information. At the end, the conclusions of the accomplished studies are presented, indicating that other studies can be developed for best to understand the market intelligence with a whole.

Depuis le XIXe siècle en France, l’opposition entre agrément et utilitaire détermine nos représentations du jardin. Ainsi, le potager s’inscrirait avant tout dans une logique de production, à l’opposé du plaisir créatif et distingué propre au jardin d’agrément. L’observation de nombreux jardins vivriers et des manières de faire de leurs jardiniers, montre que ces jardins sont chargés d’intentions et de symboles dépassant la seule préoccupation de produire de la nourriture. C’est le cas des jardins éloignés du domicile, tels les jardins collectifs, familiaux ou partagés, mais aussi d’autres jardins, vivriers en Papouasie et en Amazonie, transitoires à New York. L’intimité du jardin, la mémoire du lieu, le « contact » avec la terre, l’autoproduction de nourriture, la dimension collective et l’exposition au regard des autres sont sources d’un fort investissement symbolique, suscitant des formes particulières d’appropriation, de sociabilité et d’expression ; unefaçon de concrétiser sa présence au monde, sa relation au temps, à « l’environnement », aux autres et à soi-même. Sans doute le mythe paradisiaque se construit-il sur ces aspects, dont se saisissent aussi les philosophes et les poètes. Cette recherche a également pour objet de souligner le hiatus entre la conception des jardins proposés par les collectivités publiques et les pratiques quotidiennes des jardiniers / Since the 19th century, the image we have of gardens has depended on the purpose of whether it is for pleasure or utility. Thus gardening would be aimed, above all at producing, in opposition to growing his own garden for fancy. The study of numerous food gardens and their gardeners ’way of doing shows that these places are full of will and symbols far beyond the mere preoccupation of growing food. This is the case of those gardens away from home such as collective, family orcommunal gardens, but also others such as food gardens in Papua New Guinea and Amazonia, or transitory gardens in New York. The intimacy of a garden, the memory of the place, the “relationship” with the soil, the growing of one’s own food, the collective dimension and the exposure to people’s eyes are incentives for a strong and symbolic commitment. This generates approbation, sociability and expression; a way of making his presence real to the world, his relationship with time, the environment, the others and with himself. The heavenly myth may be built on these aspects which are seized by philosophers and poets as well. This study aims also at highlighting the hiatus between the conception of the gardens proposed by the councils and the gardeners’ daily practices.

The increasing emphasis on mass customization, shortened product lifecycles, synchronized supply chains, when coupled with advances in information system, is driving most firms towards make-to-order (MTO) operations. Increasing global competition, lower profit margins, and higher customer expectations force the MTO firms to plan its capacity by managing the effective demand. The goal of this research was to maximize the operational profits of a make-to-order operation by selectively accepting incoming customer orders and simultaneously allocating capacity for them at the sales stage. For integrating the two decisions, a Mixed-Integer Linear Program (MILP) was formulated which can aid an operations manager in an MTO environment to select a set of potential customer orders such that all the selected orders are fulfilled by their deadline. The proposed model combines order acceptance/rejection decision with detailed scheduling. Experiments with the formulation indicate that for larger problem sizes, the computational time required to determine an optimal solution is prohibitive. This formulation inherits a block diagonal structure, and can be decomposed into one or more sub-problems (i.e. one sub-problem for each customer order) and a master problem by applying Dantzig-Wolfe’s decomposition principles. To efficiently solve the original MILP, an exact Branch-and-Price algorithm was successfully developed. Various approximation algorithms were developed to further improve the runtime. Experiments conducted unequivocally show the efficiency of these algorithms compared to a commercial optimization solver. The existing literature addresses the static order acceptance problem for a single machine environment having regular capacity with an objective to maximize profits and a penalty for tardiness. This dissertation has solved the order acceptance and capacity planning problem for a job shop environment with multiple resources. Both regular and overtime resources is considered. The Branch-and-Price algorithms developed in this dissertation are faster and can be incorporated in a decision support system which can be used on a daily basis to help make intelligent decisions in a MTO operation.
