Misalignments in complex Multi-tier Supply Chains planning

Paper in proceeding, 2024

This study investigates the misalignments arising in the multi-tiers of a supply chain triad that consists of formal and informal links (transitional). Through the lens of agency theory, we explore conflicts of interest and information asymmetry contributing to inefficiencies. The recent chip shortage crisis underscores the need to understand and mitigate misalignments across supply chain tiers in the electronics supply chain to the automotive. Analyzing shifts from open to closed triadic structures, the study aims to offer insights into better alignment across multi-tiers of a supply chain.
