Transaction Cost Economics As a Theory of Supply Chain Efficiency (2020, background): “The exchange hazards of single-source supply are well-documented (Burke et al. 2007, Klein et al. 1978).”
Sourcing Decisions with Stochastic Supplier Reliability and Stochastic Demand (2009, background): “…sourcing strategy is typically operationalized as three key interrelated decisions: (a) the criteria for qualifying approved suppliers; (b) the supplier(s) selection from the approved base for order placement; and (c) the order quantities to place with each selected supplier (Burke et al. 2007).”
Customer-Base Concentration: Implications for Firm Performance and Capital Markets (2012, unknown): “An alternative view highlights that single-sourcing strategies strive for partnerships between customers and suppliers to foster cooperation and achieve shared benefits (e.g., Treleven and Schweikhart 1988; Burke et al. 2007).”
Single or dual sourcing: decision-making in the presence of supply chain disruption risks (2009, background): “[20] indicate that single sourcing is a dominant strategy only when supplier capacities are large relative to the product demand and when the buying firm does not obtain diversification benefits; but in all other cases, dual sourcing is an optimal sourcing strategy.”
