When practicing innovation, attracting different intellectual capabilities (ICAs) is extremely important. The reasoning is that innovation necessitates different ICA that can think differently together. Continuous pressure on finding, attracting and applying ‘‘the right intellectual capability’’ related to the task is interesting. This article aims to examine how to attract and apply IC…

Presents a case study of a production seat booking system for the photographic color film manufacturing industry. This manufacturing process is a hybrid flow shop, which consists of two manufacturing stages: first, processing of the film bulk‐rolls in batches, and second, packing of the final product specifications in a continuous‐process line. A production seat booking system is a new sche…
Using the literature on innovation research, this paper proposes to establish and empirically test a prediction model which consists of four major factors in the adoption of online retailing by organisations, namely relative advantage, competitive pressure, channel conflict and technical resource competence.
The purpose of this paper is to provide insights into commonalities and differences of service innovation across industries. The compared sectors are logistics service providers and IT service providers (SPs).

The purpose of this paper is to provide a sound basis to facilitate further research on innovation management at logistics service providers (LSPs).
Horizontal cooperations of logistics service providers (LSPs) have becomeimportant for LSPs within the last decades.Owing to the high complexity of these cooperations as observed by Schmoltzi and Wallenburg, the potential for conflict is inherent. This research, therefore, aims to investigate how nature (dysfunctional vs functional) and extent of conflict impact the outcome of these cooperation…
The purpose of this paper is to integrate the literature on learning in the context of boundary spanning innovation in supply chains. A two-dimensional framework is proposed: the learning stage (exploration, assimilation, exploitation) and the learning facet (structural, cultural, psychological and policy). Supply chain management (SCM) practices are examined in light of this framework and prop…

Information systems (IS) play a substantial role in managing reverse logistics (RL) processes. However, the RL literature rarely takes a holistic approach to examining the “success” of IS employment. Drawing on the rich literature base from the IS field, the authors explore IS Success theory in the context of RL. Considering Diffusion of Innovation theory, the authors also examine the effec…
Information technology is a key enabler of logistics performance. Unfortunately, most logistics information systems are implemented with forward logistics processes in mind, with little, if any, consideration for the reverse channel. Informed by task‐technology fit theory, the authors aim to explore how use of complementary information technologies to support reverse logistics processes can l…
Our work discusses the results of a survey among French logistics service providers. In a highly competitive context characterized by "time compression", technological effort becomes a key variable and a means of differentiation between third-party logistics providers. The success of logistics outsourcing relationships is entrenched in the third-party’s technological ability to improve the su…
