Transaction Cost Economics As a Theory of Supply Chain Efficiency (2020, background): “While application of TCE in operations and supply chain management is well established (Grover and Malhotra 2003, McIvor 2009, Tsay et al. 2018, Wagner and Bode 2014), the conversations have largely been limited to within the operations and supply chain management community, which tends to be a net…”
Buyer‐supplier relationships in a servitized environment: An examination with Cannon and Perreault's framework (2012, background): “, 2006; Crook and Combs, 2007), and relational contracting theories (Cousins and Crone, 2003) in operations management (OM) research, and occasional use of two of the theories (McIvor, 2009), there is little that combines these four theories into an empirically tested framework.”
The influence of exchange hazards and power on opportunism in outsourcing relationships (2012, background): “While these alleged IBM actions appear remarkable, opportunistic provider behavior has broadly been noted as a central concern with outsourcing (Holcomb and Hitt, 2007; McIvor, 2009).”
Bringing it all back home? Backshoring of manufacturing activities and the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies (2019, background): “A high degree of asset specificity appears to be most critical for the integration of manufacturing activities and their control under unified governance (Williamson, 1985), in particular in cases of high product or process complexity (McIvor, 2009).”
Outsourcing, competitive capabilities and performance: an empirical study in service firms (2010, unknown): “However it is necessary to incorporate more specific perspectives like Core Competences or Dynamic Capabilities, rather than a general perspective (McIvor, 2009).”
Setting the Outsourcing Research Agenda (2008, background): “Combining the logic of TCE with business process re-design enables an organisation to identify standard processes where cost savings can be expected in outsourcing arrangements ( McIvor, 2008a”
Reshoring and insourcing: drivers and future research directions (2016, background): “Finally, task frequency increases with greater product variety, which can lead to higher costs for outsourced/offshored tasks (McIvor, 2009).”
