“Goldilocks” Theorizing in Supply Chain Research: Balancing Scientific and Practical Utility via Middle-Range Theory (2016, background): “…have conjectured how theories from related disciplines (e.g., organizational and economic theories) could be adapted and applied to the supply chain fi eld (Grover and Malhotra 2003 ; Ketchen and Hult 2007a , 2007b ; Miles and Snow 2007 ; Williamson 2008 ; Wowak, Craighead, and Ketchen 2016 ).”
Research opportunities in purchasing and supply management (2012, neutral): “…idiosyncratic investments in the relationship, disproportionately increasing their dependence on the supplier (e.g. through the selection of a particular product that cannot be changed easily) and creating relational dynamics similar to a monopoly in favour of the supplier (cf. Williamson 2008).”
Intellectual monopoly in global value chains (2019, neutral): “…cost economics, considering the case of a relation with a foreign supplier or buyer, the risk of IP leakage due to a weak IP environment will tend to raise the cost of relying on contract-based alliances relative to equity joint venture (Oxley, 1999, pp. 287–288; Williamson, 2008, p. 12).”
Inter‐organizational governance, learning and performance in supply chains (2010, background): “Two prevailing management theories are being used to study the performance consequences of managing supply chain relationships: transaction cost economics (TCE) (e.g. Williamson, 2008) and resource based view (RBV) (e.g. Wang and Wei, 2007).”
Sustainable supply chain management: Evolution and future directions (2011, background): “…rationality and perceptions of opportunism within the context of SSCM impact the decision to source domestically or even locally, as opposed to internationally, and how supply chain governance structures are affected – e.g. a muscular versus benign approach to hybrid contracting (Williamson, 2008).”
Third-Party Logistics: A Meta-Analytic Review and Investigation of Its Impact on Performance (2014, neutral): “tinct types of structures to govern the hybrid, interorganizational relationships that fall between simple markets and hierarchy—muscular, benign, and credible (Williamson, 2008).”
Formal control and social control in domestic and international buyer–supplier relationships (2010, background): “By specifying the rights and duties of each partner, a well-designed contract provides a legal framework guiding the course of cooperation (Luo, 2002; Williamson , 2008).”
Governing Interfirm Relationships for Social Sustainability: The Relationship between Governance Mechanisms, Sustainable Collaboration, and Cultural Intelligence (2018, background): “One stream of contract governance examines the obligations and rights of exchange parties through contracts, rules, and terms which can adequately protect the relationship and how future transactions will be handled [21,22].”
Supply Chain Risk Management in Financial Crises – A Multiple Case-Study Approach (2011, positive): “From a supply chain perspective, TCE has been used to investigate topics such as sourcing (Murray and Kotabe, 1999) and outsourcing strategies (Williamson, 2008).”
