5 Foreword Supply management has received increased attention both in research and practice only recently. For decades, purchasing management was considered one of the least complex business functions. However, in a world of decreasing in-house value add in nearly all industries, it has become strategically critical for most companies to pay closer attention to purchasing spend. Many companies found that there is a lot more to have from suppliers than "the right goods at the right place at the right time". Several researchers investigating the transition from traditional purchasing to strategic supply management found a discrepancy between the general discussion of strategic supply management and reality in most companies. Given the well-known examples of high-performing purchasing organizations and the myriade of books both by researchers and practitioners on what good practices in supply management look like, this is an interesting observation. This dissertation investigates reasons for this discrepancy to help companies overcome the barriers of purchasing evolution. Michael Stolle combines organizational theories on organizational learning, resource-based view, and principal-agent conflicts to explain the challenges such a profound change of mindsets and culture presents. He develops a theoretical framework of purchasing evolution that shows the complex interactions of different driving factors that have to go together to make a successful transition possible. Finally, an interview-based empirical study is used to verify this framework empirically. To research, this thesis is a significant contribution in two distinct ways: On the one hand, Michael Stolle is the first to present a comprehensive and empirically verified framework of purchasing evolution. Prior research has always been limited to either partial problems or conceptual frameworks only. On the other hand, the evaluation of interview-based survey data using Partial Least Squares structural equation modeling provides researchers across business research disciplines with an interesting alternative to questionnaire-based empirical research. Practitioners who want to understand what it takes to make a real difference in their purchasing organization, will find this book particularly helpful. Michael Stolle describes the critical building blocks of successful supply management in detail. More important though, his empirical research shows how these building blocks
6 VI Foreword interact and influence each other. It becomes clear that implementation of individual "best practices" is not effective, maybe even impossible. Purchasing organizations have to go through a holistic evolution. Univ.-Prof. Dr. Christopher Jahns
7 Acknowledgements This dissertation could not have been written without continuoued support and contributions by several people. The research this book is based upon resulted from a research cooperation between the Purchasing and Supply Management Practice of McKinsey & Company, Inc. and Supply Management Institute of ebs European Business School. Many researchers and practitioners from both organizations have contributed significantly to the findings presented in the following. First of all, I would like to thank Dr. Nicolas Reinecke with McKinsey & Company, Inc., for providing me with the unique opportunity to participate in this research effort as part of my professional career and for allowing to use the findings for my doctoral thesis. His practical experience, intellectual curiosity, and valuable guidance made this research effort possible and successful. I am also deeply grateful to Prof. Dr. Christopher Jahns, the Executive Director of Supply Management Institute and my doctoral supervisor, both for the great contributions he and his team made to our research cooperation and the support provided for my doctoral thesis. I appreciate his open and honest feedback. I thank Prof. Dr. Jean-Paul Thommen for the fast and positive review in his role as 2nd supervisor for this doctoral thesis. Many researchers and practitioners have been involved in the research effort this doctoral thesis is based upon and I appreciate their contributions. For significant contributions, I owe special thanks to Prof. Dr. Evi Hartmann, Prof. Dr. Roger Moser, Julia Wolf, and Dr. Handik Widiarta with Supply Management Institute; Peter Spiller, Christian Herge, and Christian Baier with McKinsey & Company, Inc., and all the McKinsey partners who helped us by inviting their clients for our empirical study. Moreover, I would like to thank all Chief Purchasing Officers who took the time to participate in our interview-based empirical study. I really do hope that the feedback and insights we were able to provide were found to be helpful in practice. Finally, a big thank you goes to my wife Stefanie, my family, and friends. They made the time of my doctoral studies a special period in life for me. Michael A. Stolle
