...' resource constraints along the supply chain. Based on resource dependence theory (RDT), this study investigates the impact of E-TBTs on firms' supply chain configuration, as well as the moderating role of firms' internal resources in this relationship. Design/methodology/approach Using data from...

... of adjustment costs and financial flexibility. Findings Results provide empirical support for resource dependence theory (RDT), showing that firms hold higher inventory ratios as buffers against CCR. However, asset- and R&D-intensive firms maintain lower inventory ratios, reflecting the reduced...

... suppliers across two material streams: steel and plastic. This research develops middle-range theory by introducing embeddedness theory as opposed to resource dependence theory in the CE context. Findings Results show that buyer-supplier relationships in the CE context are characterised by high mutual...

... dimension to the consequences for customer concentration based on the resource dependence theory. Design/methodology/approach We tested our theoretical framework using a panel dataset of China's listed companies from 2007 to 2023. We addressed the endogeneity concerns using a two-stage least squares...

...Yue Yin; Qiang Wang Purpose This study investigates the impact of supplier dependence on suppliers’ exploitative and exploratory innovations. Drawing on resource dependence theory, this research demonstrates that two governance mechanisms, relationship tenure and board interlocks with customers...

... are applied to test the hypotheses, followed by a series of robustness tests to check the consistency of the results. Findings Consistent with the tenets of resource dependence theory, our analysis reveals a significant negative impact of GPR on SCC. Moreover, we find that this adverse effect...

... on resource dependence theory, the authors investigate the relationship between SCC and manufacturing firms' sustainability performance and the moderating roles of operational slack and information transparency. Design/methodology/approach The authors use secondary data from 3,581 manufacturing firms...

... in the literature, the authors investigate how this buyer-driven SSCM influences suppliers' performance, using the measure of stock market reaction. Design/methodology/approach Grounded by the resource dependence theory (RDT), the authors empirically analyze the power effect on suppliers. Event study...

... Resource dependence theory Between early March and late May 2020, the number of companies experiencing massive supply chain disruptions, due to the impacts of Covid-19, increased from 80% to 95% (van Hoek, 2020). As the world’s one of the biggest manufacturing industries, the fashion industry...

..., from the resource dependence theory perspective, this paper explains its dark side by providing empirical evidence on (1) the links between supplier-perceived digital capability asymmetry and a buyer's opportunism through an increased supplier's dependence and (2) the effectiveness of different types...
