• Inclusive Sourcing: Exploring Missing Links in Procurement and Contracting That Adversely Affect the Upward Mobility of Minority Businesses

  article1st authorCorresponding

  While large purchasing organizations (LPOs) continue to push their supplier diversity and development efforts, disparities remain between minority- and majority-owned businesses. We examine existing disparities, investigate the factors contributing to these gaps, and discuss how LPOs may improve their engagement initiatives with minority-owned businesses, leading to mutual economic success. Through interviews with representatives of minority- and majority-owned businesses, we uncover the difficulties that minority-owned businesses face in accessing LPOs. They receive fewer development opportunities and are less upwardly mobile than their majority-owned counterparts. Trust emerged as a critical factor required for minority-owned businesses to gain access to LPOs. We explore additional factors that may influence LPO procurement decisions beyond racial biases, such as the dense networks of minority-owned businesses, the risks associated with engaging minority-owned businesses, and the complexity of LPO organizational structures. This essay contributes to the operations and supply chain literature on diversity, equity, and inclusion by providing researchers and LPOs with a pragmatic view of their buyer–supplier relationships and strategies to improve contracting practices with minority-owned businesses.

• Multidisciplinary R&D project success in small firms: The role of multiproject status and project management experience

  Production and Operations Management · 2022-03-26 · 12 citations

  article

  R&D projects in small biotechnology firms frequently involve knowledge from multiple technical fields and research in different problem domains. An increase in project knowledge scope, defined as the number of technical fields an R&D project covers, can be challenging for resource‐constrained small firms. These firms often rely primarily on their principal investigators (PIs), who act as heavyweight project managers in guiding project ideas to successful R&D outcomes. PIs also work concurrently on multiple projects, a strategy to promote learning across projects. To better understand how small firms PIs manage projects with high knowledge scope, our research assembles and analyzes a data set of 1374 R&D projects conducted by 933 small firms in the context of U.S. Small Business Administration awards. Results, after accounting for endogeneity, suggest a negative association between project knowledge scope and project success, which we measured using patent forward citation counts. We also find that a PI's multiproject status negatively moderates (i.e., amplifies) this association, while project management experience positively moderates (i.e., weakens) it. A follow‐up post hoc analysis suggests that a shared problem domain is a key contingency for the moderation effects of both multiproject status and project management experience. Taken together, our research offers insights on how to effectively manage R&D projects in resource‐constrained small firms.

• Amplitude and frequency variability of the pulsating DB white dwarf stars KUV 05134+2605 and PG 1654+160 observed with the Whole Earth Telescope

  We have acquired new time series photometry of the two pulsating DB white dwarf stars KUV 05134+2605 and PG 1654+160 with the Whole Earth Telescope. Additional single-site photometry is also presented. We use all these data plus all available archival measurements to study the temporal behaviour of the pulsational amplitudes and frequencies of these stars for the first time.

• Procurement’s Professional Identity and its Impact on Decisions

  Academy of Management Proceedings · 2021-07-26

  articleSenior author

  We apply a social identity lens to the professional identity of procurement. We conduct semi-structured interviews with procurement professionals to gather information on how they define their professional identities, how they perceive others to understand their professional identities, their level of identification with the procurement profession, and their group’s status within the organization. We conduct an experiment to observe how group identification, group status and group image affect decision-making in a realistic cross-functional scenario. We find evidence that strong identification with the procurement function can cause an increased emphasis on costs and offer managerial recommendations to mitigate this effect. We find evidence that the public perception of procurement’s identity can also affect decision-making. We observe that many procurement professionals perceive their profession to be negatively stereotyped as cost-focused and transactional, and we promote the alternative group images used by our interview participants.

  Abstract While opportunism has been a focus of transaction cost economics, perceived opportunism, where one party is perceived to be acting opportunistically when there is no opportunistic intent, can also lead to increased transaction costs in an exchange. In this study, consistent with forms of opportunism observed in our context of manufacturing outsourcing, we examine two different forms of perceived opportunism—perceived poaching and shirking. As narratives of the hidden costs of outsourcing discuss concerns of suppliers in emerging economies engaging in poaching and shirking, we examine if the level of economic development where a supplier operates affects perceptions of supplier poaching and shirking and also examine if the supplier's competitive priorities moderate those perceptions. To empirically test these relationships, we combine archival data of location characteristics with a dyadic primary dataset that captures perceived supplier opportunism, self‐reported supplier opportunism, and other relationship characteristics. Our findings illustrate that perceived opportunism and opportunism are distinct constructs and that more observable forms of opportunism (i.e., shirking) affect perceived opportunism more than less observable forms of opportunism (i.e., poaching). We also find that, in existing relationships, manufacturers in advanced economies perceive poaching to be more strongly related to the level of economic development where a supplier operates than shirking. Finally, we find that while a cost focus can mitigate perceptions of poaching, an innovation focus exacerbates them. Overall, our study illustrates the challenges that innovation‐focused suppliers in emerging economies face in regards to competing with suppliers in advanced economies.

• Understanding the Choice of Online Resale Channel for Used Electronics

  Each year, global consumers dispose of 20 million–50 million tons of electronic products, including laptops, tablets, and, most commonly, cell phones. Realizing the residual value in used electronics, consumers frequently look for ways to sell their devices, whereas independent parties (IPs) such as Gazelle and NextWorth and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) such as Apple compete in acquiring them. These firms also compete with online marketplaces such as eBay, which offer a channel for individuals to sell used devices to others. To succeed in this highly competitive market, buying firms (i.e., OEMs andIPs) must understand factors that influence sellers’ estimated utility and their decisions in a resale process. We conduct laboratory experiments with a two‐stage resale process, where subjects in the first stage choose a resale channel to sell their used cell phone. In the second stage, subjects evaluate a potential counteroffer decision, that is, post‐choice decision. Our results from the resale‐channel choice stage show that individuals have a higher sensitivity to price, time until payment, and online ratings when selling to an IP than when selling to an OEM or through an OM. No significant difference exists, however, in their sensitivity to IP or OEM data security policies. Our results from the post‐choice decision stage show that a seller's share in the counteroffer increases the likelihood of acceptance in all resale channels, whereas higher online ratings might increase or decrease the likelihood of accepting a counteroffer depending on the resale channel. Our laboratory experiment results generally are consistent, with some differences, when replicated on Amazon's Mechanical Turk (MTurk).
