the effect of Buyers Power on suppliers motivations in managing their compliance mechanisms a study of indian apparel export firms
Journal of Fashion Marketing and Management, 2020Co-Authors: Geetika Jaiswal, Jung HabrookshireAbstract:The aim of this study was to investigate how Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) enforce Code of Conduct (CoC) policies, as well as how they affect suppliers' motivation to engage them in managing CoC compliance mechanisms of monitoring, enforcement and transparency in the Indian apparel industry.,A quantitative survey was conducted using face-to-face surveys. Overall, 210 usable data points were collected and analyzed by use of structural equation modeling.,Study findings highlighted that hard Power strategies currently used by MNEs in the apparel Indian market were primarily coercive in nature. A clear Power imbalance between MNEs and suppliers from India was evident. Results suggested that when MNEs attempted to use their Powerful position to advance compliance goals, higher level of CoC monitoring was required and suppliers were only extrinsically motivated. Lack of intrinsic motivation in suppliers' resulted in under-developed suppliers' transparency mechanisms. Therefore, findings suggested that MNEs should use hard Powers consciously considering the long-term and unintended consequences.,The paper proposes a buyer-supplier Power-motivation interaction model that clarifies what MNEs can do to motivate apparel suppliers to implement CoCs successfully in the apparel supply chain. This relationship has not previously been empirically tested.

heterogeneity influence of Buyers Power on process innovation and product innovation model and empirical test
Journal of Management Sciences in China, 2013Co-Authors: Sun XiaohuAbstract:Process innovation and product innovation are the main modes of firm's technological innovation.RD decisions under different modes depend on Buyers' Power. A three-stage RD decision-making model is built including upstream and downstream firms to study the heterogeneity influence of Buyers' Power on process innovation and product innovation of upstream firms. The results show that the stronger the Buyers' Power,the less the investment intensity of process innovation and the more the product innovation intensity of the upstream firms. The market Power of sellers is positively correlated with product innovation in their industry,while the relation with process innovation is uncertain. Buyers' technological capabilities have a positive impact on product innovation through inter-industry transmission mechanism and have a negative impact on process innovation. The large and middle-sized enterprises in Chinese manufacturing industry are tested empirically. Consistent with the theoretical hypotheses,the parameter estimation of interaction term shows that the effect of Buyers' Power on the upstream enterprise innovation input depends on the seller's market Power.

social media and Buyers Power the cottage cheese boycott
2014Co-Authors: Igal Hendel, Saul Lach, Yossi SpiegelAbstract:In the summer of 2011 a consumer boycott on cottage cheese was organized in Israel via Facebook. The boycott was prompted by the steep increase in prices since price controls were lifted in 2006. We document the evolution of cottage cheese prices and quantities before and after the boycott. The boycott was successful as prices declined immediately and stayed low until the end of the sample period (April 2012) and beyond. We …nd that price elasticities, in particular cross price elasticities, substantially increased following the boycott. Larger increases in elasticity and larger declines in sales happened in areas with higher computer utilization and more education, suggesting the importance of social media in facilitating consumer mobilization. Increased price elasticities, however, cannot fully explain the observed price changes. We conjecture that …rms lowered their prices to avoid further damage to their image, from fear the boycott will spread to other products, from concerns about re-regulation of prices and, possibly, from class action lawsuits.

Power and upgrading in global value chains a case study of a sri lankan apparel manufacturer
Proceedings of International Conference on Business Management, 2019Co-Authors: D Gunaratne Abeysaykara C AlagaeAbstract:This paper provide a contextualised explanation for Power, upgrading practices and upgrading in apparel global value chains (GVCs). It raises questions of how the bargaining Power of lead Buyers shapes the upgrading of developing country suppliers and how these suppliers manage Buyers’ bargaining Power using upgrading practices. It deploys insights from the Global Value Chain and Relational Economic Geography literature. A qualitative case study was employed, based on a Sri Lankan apparel manufacturer. Findings suggest the importance of Buyers’ bargaining Power to shape the suppliers’ upgrading, and the importance of upgrading practices—trust and credibility, diversification and strategic intent—and upgrading to manage Buyers’ bargaining Power. The paper (re)conceptualises upgrading as an outcome of Buyers’ bargaining Power and upgrading practices and suggests an approach—for developing country suppliers—to manage Buyers’ Power through upgrading practices.
