- W3144060903 abstract "This research addresses the absent knowledge on the triggers of supply base complexity decisions by studying the influence of problemistic search in that decision-making process. Commonly decisions made in three dimensions define the complexity of a supply base. These include: the number of suppliers in the supply base; the level of differentiation between these suppliers; and the level of inter- relationships among them. We departed from predominant theories in supply chain management research to explore this gap, since those theories implicitly assume that decision-makers are rational and make optimal decisions. While, existing studies on supply management have rather found that managers are often bounded rational and their decisions are mainly problem-driven. Therefore, we drew upon problemistic search as a core concept of the Behavioral Theory of the Firm. For the reason that this theory predicts that because of bounded rationality managers primarily focus on problems and make satisfactory decisions to solve those problems. Accordingly, problemistic search is commonly defined as the search for solutions triggered by organizational problems. To study this gap, multiple case studies were conducted in five manufacturing firms with in total eleven supply managers. The results indicate that problemistic search influencing decisions defining supply base complexity are invoked by both reactive triggers (actual problems) and proactive triggers (potential problems). Furthermore, reactive triggers appeared to be predominantly influencing changes in both the number of suppliers and the level of differentiation, while proactive triggers predominantly influenced changes in the level of inter- relationships. Lastly, the dimensions concerning the number of suppliers and the level of differentiation appeared to be highly related. A change in the one dimension consequently led to a change in the other dimension. These findings have not been described in the literature before." @default.
