Production Chain Organization in the Digital Age: Information Technology Use and Vertical Integration in U.S. Manufacturing

Advances in information technology (IT) may affect the organizational design of production. Exploiting the rapid diffusion of the internet in the United States, we assess the sensitivity of production chain organization to this innovation in IT access and use. Extending theories of the firm that recognize the importance of downstream transfers (selling as opposed to sourcing) and plural governance in organizational design, we predict IT-driven shifts in downstream vertical integration. In a detailed panel of Census Bureau data for over 5,600 manufacturing plants, we observe the extent of a production unit’s downstream transactions within the firm alongside concurrent sales to external customers—a mix we refer to as plural selling. Our main finding is that the use of the internet for external coordination precipitated a significant decline in downstream vertical integration across the manufacturing sector. Instrumental variables estimation points to a causal relationship but also heterogeneous treatment effects. Key drivers of plural organization, such as complementarities and constraints across differently governed transactions, help explain such heterogeneity, as does concurrent use of internal production management IT. Our study is the first study to leverage a plural governance framework and large-scale microdata to understand how U.S. production chain organization shifted in response to this rapid and far-reaching technological change.

Enterprise Marketing Risk Control Based on Information Technology and Supply Chain Management

The overall economic development of today’s society is showing a downward trend. In the process of operating and marketing, enterprises are affected by various factors. After the marketing risk reaches a certain level, enterprises would encounter various risks such as blocked marketing plans and failure to meet the estimated marketing goals. Enterprise marketing is affected by economic and market risks such as lack of information, decision-making errors, natural disasters, human factors, and other natural and social risks. This article combined information technology with supply chain management, applied radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to supply chain management, and controlled enterprise marketing risks through reasonable management of the supply chain. It also compared the effectiveness of enterprise marketing risk control between an information technology intelligent supply chain combined with RFID and a supply chain managed by ordinary artificial structures. The experimental results showed that the highest value of goods loss rate in the supply chain based on RFID technology and using traditional technology was 5% and 15%, respectively, according to the sample of goods loss experiments. For the information verification process of goods in supply chain management, the information identification accuracy rates of barcode and RFID technology were 89.98% and 97.7%, respectively. Therefore, applying the information technology intelligent supply chain management model combined with RFID technology to enterprise marketing risk control can save money for enterprises, ensure product quality, and effectively reduce the risks encountered in enterprise marketing by reducing information gaps, and reducing transportation and storage costs.

Traction with fraction: Strategic IS management in SMEs through Fractional CIOs

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) increasingly need to manage information technology (IT) effectively in order to remain competitive. However, compared to larger organizations, SMEs often face challenges in terms of resources and employer attractiveness, and regularly do not have the need to employ a Chief Information Officer (CIO) on a full-time basis. To address this issue, a growing number of global experts have begun to provide CIO services on a part-time basis for multiple clients simultaneously. This approach allows SMEs to tap into the expertise of experienced IT leaders at a fraction of the cost and without committing to long-term arrangements. While these professionals, known as “Fractional CIOs”, have proven their value in the field, there has been a lack of academic research on this emerging trend. Therefore, we carried out a comprehensive research project between 2020 and 2023, involving 62 Fractional CIOs from 10 countries. The research produced a definition, different types of engagements, and success factors for Fractional CIOs and their engagements. This paper summarizes these findings for a wider audience of academics and practitioners.
