Download or read book Value Based Management of Supplier written by Zhanping Cheng and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2009 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supplier relationship managers often find it difficult to evaluate and optimize supplier relationships, which are crucial to the success of their business yet complex and multifaceted, characterized by long-term orientation, uncertainty, temporal evolution, idiosyncratic investment, improvement potential, and adaptation flexibility. How to design optimal supply contracts to govern supplier relationships has been a common problem in business practice for many years. This book draws on the modern theories of investment under uncertainty in the finance literature and proposes a hierarchical, dynamic and value-based solution for supplier relationship and supply contract management. At the strategic level, the author addresses supplier relationship management by putting forward a three-layer relationship valuation procedure and a fuzzy-stochastic relationship valuation model. In addition, decision models for managing a supplier relationship life cycle as well as configuring and planning supplier relationship portfolios are presented. At the tactical level, the author deals with supply contract management. A general, compound supply contract model is proposed and how to design optimal supply contracts under demand risk and price risk is explored. Furthermore, the contract portfolio configuration problem is discussed.

Download or read book Quantitative Models for Value Based Supply Chain Management written by Marcus Brandenburg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-10-24 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supply chain management (SCM) strives for creating competitive advantage and value for customers by integrating business processes from end users through original suppliers. However, the question of how SCM influences the value of a firm is not fully answered. Various conceptual frameworks that explain the coherence of SCM and company value, comprehended as value-based SCM, are well accepted in scientific research, but quantitative approaches to value-based SCM are found rather seldom. The book contributes to this research gap by proposing quantitative models that allow for assessing influences of SCM on the value of a firm. Opposed to existing models that limit the observation to chosen facets of SCM or selected value drivers, this holistic approach is adequate to • reflect configurational and operational aspects of SCM, • cover all phases of the product life cycle, • financially compare value impacts of profitability-related and asset-related value drivers, and • assess influences of dynamics and uncertainties on company value.

Download or read book Value Based Management in an Open Economy written by Walter Amedzro St-Hilaire and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-10-17 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the relationship between strategy optimization mechanisms and the efficiency (performance and productivity) in the digital and open economy. The aim of this question on the interactions between strategies, performance, and market forms is to understand how, at the level of value-based management, productivity determines the optimized strategies and how the optimization process is modified according to the performance of the firm. Value-Based Management in an Open Economy: Optimizing Strategy to Improve Business and Performance outlines the conditions under which this relationship is negative, neutral, or positive in the banking sector. Applying economic and managerial principles, the book demonstrates that problems related to the competitive advantage can be successfully analyzed like all other business problems, using traditional tools of economics, finance, and strategy (provided that the dynamics of industry-specific interactions are considered). The author argues that the ability of firms to improve their performance depends on the structure in which these organizations compete and their ability to optimize their value-based management. Key features: Captures the diversity and the interconnection of management control and firm performance issues Analyzes the challenges of contemporary management control in order to provide transversal and sustainable strategic solutions Promotes understanding of the prospects of optimizing mechanisms This volume is intended primarily for those who will be called upon to work as researchers or professionals in the fields of corporate governance and value-based management. The book identifies the technical practices and proposes mechanisms to encourage growth and improve performance. The book will be helpful for renewing strategic approaches and value-based mechanisms in a digital and open economy.

Download or read book Supplier Relationship Management written by Stephen Easton and published by Apress. This book was released on 2014-06-14 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There’s a new buzz phrase in the air: Supplier Relationship Management (SRM). Corporate executives know it’s necessary, but there’s only one problem. Nobody yet knows how to do it. Or they think it’s all about bashing your vendors over the head until they reduce the price another 4%. Supplier Relationship Management: How to Maximize Vendor Value and Opportunity changes all that. Containing the best and most innovative advice from the operations and procurement experts at consultant AT Kearney, this book shows that SRM is at root a strategic discussion requiring cross-functional interaction and internal alignment at the highest levels. It requires an honest appraisal of the value that suppliers now bring to your firm, as well as their potential value. It then requires a frank and constructive business-to-business dialogue about how to improve the relationship. When this happens, a company reaps myriad benefits, ranging from new opportunity to added value to competitive advantage—and, quite likely, to overall (and sometimes substantial) cost reductions. This book shows the most concrete methods you can use today to: Identify value-adding opportunities in the supply chain Work closely with suppliers to maximize the benefits Work the "Critical Cluster" of suppliers, where the greatest opportunity for advantage lies Review suppliers to encourage constant gains in quality and cost Turn your SRM strategy into a major competitive advantage Supplier Relationship Management introduces and explains the Supplier Interaction Model, a key tool that will help you get the most from your supplier relationships. It segments the supplier universe into nine categories, from those you want to run away from fast to those so good and so useful to your organization that it can make sense to invest in them directly. Numerous case studies show how to apply the principles to your situation. Supplier Relationship Management burns off the fog that has surrounded the procurement process for far too long. It is the definitive guide for business executives who want to get the maximum benefits from suppliers and gain very real advantages over competitors.

Download or read book Value Based Management with Corporate Social Responsibility written by John D. Martin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-08-19 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the first decade of the 21st century winds down we have seen a sea change in society's attitudes toward finance. The 1990s can best be described as the decade of shareholder supremacy, with each firm trying to outdo the other in their allegiance to shareholder value creation, or as it came to be known, Value-Based Management (VBM). No one seemed to question this culture as the rising firm valuations translated into vast wealth creation for so many. Three significant economic events have reshaped how the public feels about an unbridled devotion to VBM and have defined the last decade: the dot.com bubble in 2000, the infamous accounting scandals of 2001, and the collapse of the credit markets in 2007-2008. In all three of these events the CEOs were portrayed as reckless and greedy and Wall Street went from an object of admiration to an object of scorn. The first edition of this book, Value Based Management: The Corporate Response to the Shareholder Revolution was written to help explain the underpinnings of Value-Based Management. At the time of its publication, few questioned whether the concept was the proper thing to do. Instead, the debate was focused on how to implement a VBM program. With this new second edition, the authors look at VBM after having seen it through good times and bad. It is not their intent to play the blame game or point fingers. Nor is it their intent to provide an impassioned defense of VBM. Instead they provide an academic appraisal of VBM, where is has been, where it is now, and where they see it going.
