Abstract:
Developing social control over suppliers is of great importance for a buying firm to generate competitive advantages. However, a buyer cannot develop equally-important social controls on all suppliers due to the constraints of resources and attention. Whether the buyer’s differential social control within the supplier portfolio generates or undermines value is not well explored. This study takes a portfolio perspective and draws on the social capital theory to examine the overall value generation of a buyer’s differential social control strategy. We combine both primary survey and archival data of 130 Chinese manufacturing firms and their supplier portfolios, finding that the buyer’s differential social control within its supplier portfolio negatively affects its performance. This negative effect will be attenuated when technological difference among suppliers are larger or suppliers are spatially more dispersed. And the effect also depends on different environmental uncertainties, in which the negative effect will be stronger when demand uncertainty is high, but be weaker when technology uncertainty is high. The study extends our understanding of the role that social control plays in the whole supplier portfolio beyond a dyadic perspective and suggests important managerial implications for the supplier management.
