Frequently Asked Questions

What is Agency Theory in supply chain management?

Agency Theory examines the relationship between a principal (company) and an agent (supplier), focusing on issues like opportunistic behavior, conflicting objectives, and information asymmetry.

How does information sharing address Agency Theory issues?

Information sharing increases transparency along the supply chain, reducing the potential for hidden actions and helping to align the interests of different parties.

What impact did Covid-19 have on supply chain behavior?

The pandemic highlighted the fragility of supply chains and showed how selfish consumer behavior (panic buying) and lack of resilience can lead to breakdowns in the system.

What is bounded rationality in supplier selection?

It refers to the idea that decision-makers have limited information and cognitive capacity, making it difficult to select the perfect supplier when faced with opportunistic behavior.

What are the benefits of information sharing systems?

These systems improve coordination, reduce uncertainty, and allow companies to adapt more quickly to unpredictable circumstances, creating a more resilient supply chain.
