The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The Effects of Major Customer Networks on Supplier Profitability (2017, methodology): “So far, however, relatively few supply chain studies have adopted the network perspective, largely due to the difficulties in obtaining network data (Choi & Kim, 2008; Kim et al., 2011).”
Toward a structural view of co‐opetition in supply networks (2014, methodology): “Specifically, operational links in a supply network lead to relational strategies that differ from those of peer firms; a firm’s position in the supply network affects how it relates and responds to other firms in that production and service network (Kim et al., 2011).”
The influence of supply network structure on firm innovation (2014, background): “CONCLUSION Through our empirical analysis, we find further evidence supporting the argument that network structures and supply network relationships that form supply networks are critical components for identifying strategic imperatives in supply chain management [6, 12].”
Impact of supply base structural complexity on financial performance: Roles of visible and not‐so‐visible characteristics (2017, background): “This reflects the difficulty of collecting supply chain structure information and the challenge of operationalizing structural measures (Kim et al., 2011).”
