Abstract

A multi-case study is conducted with the purpose to deeply analyze the different strategic approaches to VCM and explore the variables that seem to affect the supplier’s performance. The unit of analysis is the supplier’s attempt to implement his present innovation via VCM. In each of the cases, the supplier introduces a chemical innovation which delivers protection and an attractive appearance to materials such as cardboard, plastic, metal, or synthetic leather. The cases are selected in such a way as to maximize variations on dimensions that are of potential importance for VCM: (1) value chain, (2) VCM process, (3) newness of innovation, (4) knowledge overlap, and (5) marketing result. The results validate the existence of cooperative and non-cooperative VCM. Cooperative VCM is characterized by an early integration of the manufacturer and requires his active participation in the VCM process. Non-cooperative VCM equals the description of the autonomous approach where the manufacturer only takes a passive part in the process. The results further suggest that the newness of innovation and the knowledge overlap between the involved actors enable or inhibit the implementation of supplier innovations via cooperative or non-cooperative VCM. The analysis of the cases also discloses that the newness of innovation and the knowledge overlap are somehow interrelated. Based on the case study results, research hypotheses are developed and tested in the simulation study.
