Supply Chain ManagementGammelgaard, Britta; Bentzen, Eric; Aagaard Andreassen, Mette (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This report is based on the survey "Industrial Companies in Denmark – Today and Tomorrow", section IV: Supply Chain Management - Practices and Performance, question number 4.9 on performance assessment. To our knowledge, this survey is unique, as we have not been able to find results from any compatible survey. The International Manufacturing Strategy Survey (IMSS) does bring up the question of supply chain management, but unfortunately, we did not have access to the database. Data from the members of the SCOR-model, in the form of benchmarked performance data, may exist, but are nonetheless not public. The survey is a cooperative project "Benchmarking Danish Industries" with CIP/Aalborg University, the Danish Technological University, the Danish Technological Institute and Copenhagen Business School as consortia partners. The project has been funded by the Danish Agency for Trade and Industry. The present survey was developed and conducted in the period of 2001-2003.

A GuidebookGammelgaard, Britta; Welling, Holger Sorwad; Nielsen, Peter Breum Mach (København, 2019)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This guidebook represents an elaborative study of blockchain technology and its potential in common supply chain management practices. Our aim is to create an easy-to-read handbook with which supply chain management professionals can develop a basic understanding of blockchain and how it can be applied within the industry. This is achieved through a practical approach by which we shed light on some of the key value drivers that blockchain can provide in modern supply chains, while elaborating on how the technology is already being tested in industry. Accordingly, this paper aims at enhancing the reader’s understanding of blockchain and how it can be applied in a supply chain context. While blockchain is still in its early adoption stage, the potential of the technology continues to prove itself through various pilot projects around the world. In particular, the combination of blockchain and Internet of Things (IoT)1 devices have proven particularly promising as it provides an automated and secure way to connect physical assets to the cloud. In multiple pilot projects, blockchain has been successful in facilitating end-to-end supply chain visibility. Blockchain is, however, not necessarily the right solution for all companies when it comes to creating supply chain visibility. Therefore, it is important for managers to thoroughly understand the fit between their supply chain and the desired technology, before considering implementing a blockchain solution. Firstly, the guidebook provides an understanding of the main elements of blockchain and its characteristics. In this section, we describe blockchain from both a technical and a practical point of view. Secondly, the characteristics of blockchain are analyzed in view of supply chain management and an overview of the various benefits it may provide, if implemented successfully, is presented. This part is complemented by other new technologies such as IoT, where we illustrate how blockchain can create synergies with other existing technologies that are used in the transport industry. This section concludes with an outline of challenges that are yet to be resolved regarding blockchain and its adoption in the supply chain industry. Thirdly, the guidebook discusses various real-life business cases to provide an overview of how blockchain is used to improve current processes. Finally, this guidebook provides an analysis of the current adoption stage of blockchain before rounding off with some practical steps for management to consider before commencing their first blockchain project.

The Market Liberalized HaulierBorgström, Benedikte; Gammelgaard, Britta; Bruun, Poul (Frederiksberg, 2016)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Road transport is an important sector, connecting time and space of production and consumption. Its market conditions has changed. The EU single market implementation has increased price pressure due to supply of low cost road freight transport from counties with lower cost structures. Changes in the market also encourage strategic development of some road hauliers into providers of unique services. Such road haulier strategic development contributes to efficiency and effectiveness in basically all business sectors of EU. Little research is available of such strategic and operational management. In this paper we will explore that knowledge gap and analyze what value proposition(s) and capabilities can transform potential cost disadvantages of acting in a market that includes both high- and low-cost-country actors? And in conceptual terminology, how are capabilities deployed and developed to construct a competitive value proposition? We will illustrate the strategy-as-practice with two projects, and discuss implications in terms of capabilities needed to create an effective value proposition and hence competitiveness. The theoretical contribution is in theorizing haulier strategic development in which we take into account logistics service supplier strategic management. We also contribute with better understanding of value creation in order to escape commoditization and differentiate services through relationships (customers and/or other hauliers). Practical implications concern hauliers’ strategy creation and to some extent road transport buyers in terms of more informed market knowledge.

A strategy-as-practice PerspectiveBorgström, Benedikte; Gammelgaard, Britta (Frederiksberg, 2017)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Purpose: Road transport is a dynamic sector with market changes because of liberalization and increasing demand of transport and logistics services. Shippers’ supply chain objectives of low costs and agility and a demanding operating environment due to, for example, congestion is challenging. Haulier competitiveness, however, resides in knowledge, technology and networks so the purpose of this study is to develop a conceptualisation of how these capabilities are deployed and make up effective value propositions for customers. Design/methodology/approach: Two case studies of value proposition development are analysed for objectives of strategic development. Findings: Haulier competitiveness is not a static but a result of resource deployment. From the strategy-as-practice perspective collaborators’ and customers’ resources are considered potentials for emergent strategies and learning for value-creation. Research limitations/implications: The usefulness of the conceptual apparatus lies in understanding strategic development as a result of capability deployment rather than managerial decision making per se. Practical implications: Both hauliers and shippers are able to improve value creation from increased understanding of capability deployment. Original/value: This research shows that innovation of transport companies’ (hauliers’ and other types of logistics providers’) value propositions drives competitiveness. The strategy-as-practice approach is applied as the theoretical lens for understanding and developing strategic outcomes of transport and logistics provision and supply chain value creation.

En case-samlingHelbo, Martin; Jakobsen, Jesper; Gammelgaard, Britta (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Dette working paper er en samling af case beskrivelser angående indkøbspraksisser i Danmark. Case-dataene er indsamlede i efteråret 2003 og foråret 2004. Alle beskrivelser er validerede af de deltagende virksomheder. I den oprindelige undersøgelse var 10 virksomheder repræsenterede, men én af case-virksomhederne valgte desværre at trække sig ud af undersøgelsen på grund af meget store ændringer i virksomhedens grundlag. Dette ændrer dog ikke det samlede billede af, at indkøbspraksisserne i virksomhederne er i opbrud. Indkøbet bliver i stadig stigende grad opfattet som en vigtig brik til strømlining af forsyningskæden "upstream" mod råvareleverandørerne. En egentlig case-analyse vil kunne findes i kommende publikationer af de tre forfattere. Case beskrivelserne er en vigtig del af datagrundlaget i projektet "Indkøbspraksisser i et SCMperspektiv", der er finansieret af Center for Underleverandører i Herning. Dataene er hovedsagelig tilvejebragt via interviews med indkøbsansvarlige i de pågældende case-virksomheder. I den forbindelse vil vi gerne rette en stor tak til de personer og virksomheder, der velvilligt har stillet sig til rådighed med indsigt i de processer, der strukturerer dagens indkøb. Når vi har valgt at udgive beskrivelserne i et working paper og ikke blot lade dem samle støv i en skuffe som datagrundlag for videnskabelige publikationer, er det fordi, vi håber, at beskrivelserne kan inspirere andre end os selv, eksempelvis virksomheder og nuværende og kommende studerende med interesse i indkøbspraksisser.

Kompetencebehov i fremtidens blå Danmark 2013Gammelgaard, Britta; Sornn-Friese, Henrik; Stoumann, Jacob; Hansen, Jens; Jessen, Mads; Larsen, Morten (København, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: For at styrke kompetenceniveauet i de maritime erhverv i Danmark er 10 partnere, bestående af relevante uddannelsesinstitutioner og maritime interesseorganisationer, gået sammen om projektet ’Danmarks Maritime Klynge’ (DKMK). Med et særligt fokus på kompetenceudvikling inden for den maritime sektor udvikles og oprettes der i projektet flere maritime uddannelsesforløb i form af fag og kurser på bachelor- og kandidatniveau, der arbejdes på at skabe nemmere afkørsler til kandidatuddannelser for professionsbachelorer, og der udarbejdes relevante maritime efteruddannelsestilbud. Som en indledende del af projektet har projektets partnere via en række analyseaktiviteter set nærmere på, hvilke udfordringer, muligheder og behov de maritime erhverv i Danmark står over for i relation til uddannelse, kompetence og arbejdskraft. Ligeledes er der i inspirationsøjemed blevet set på, hvordan andre førende maritime nationer har valgt at støtte op om udviklingen af deres maritime klynger. Analyserne er foretaget på et overordnet niveau og mere uddannelsesspecifikke analyser vil blive foretaget af de enkelte partnere i den resterende projektperiode.

A Systematic Literature Review of Road Freight TransportBenedikte, Borgström; Gammelgaard, Britta; Wieland, Andreas (Frederiksberg, 2017)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Purpose: This article provides a comprehensive review of the strategic management of transport and logistics services and to identify promising avenues for future research in the field. Design/methodology/approach: A systematic literature review is conducted based on articles published between 2011 and 2016 in international peer‐reviewed journals. 55 selected articles deal with strategic elements concerning hauliers, such as service offerings, costs and revenues. Findings: Themes of hauliers’ strategizing that are discussed in the literature, namely carrier selection revisited, professionalism, innovation, horizontal collaboration, planned and emergent strategies, and value propositions. Research limitations/implications: The research expands on the previous literature on logistics and transport and adds knowledge about hauliers as part of the transport and supply chain. Social implications: In highly ranked transport journals, only two per cent of the published articles concern haulier strategizing, thus, knowledge development concerning the socio-economic and managerial problems of practitioners and policy makers is delimited. Original/value: The study contributes to a strategic perspective by identifying transdisciplinary avenues of research that are likely to likely to encourage hauliers to be innovative.

Red thread from a WorkshopProckl, Günter; Gammelgaard, Britta (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Sustainability in business is clearly recognized as a very important topic which is intensively discussed in theory and practice. (When it comes to the social and ecological aspects of sustainability, the logistics and transportation industry is often considered one of the prime suspects to be identified as a major polluter reluctant to implement changes and improvements. A workshop was designed and organized in the fall of 2011 to start a discussion on the role that the logistics service industry plays or should play in the sustainability business. The clear objective was to work on the issue – not from the viewpoint of politics and society, not from the viewpoint of industry and the retail sector, and not from that of academia ‐ but from the view of the logistics service providers. In other words, the workshop was designed to help develop a clear statement of the role of the logistics industry. A statement of the logistics industry’s role as the logistics industry understands it. This short paper recapitulates the red thread of the workshop discussions and ends with a summary. This summary is meant as a first draft of a manifest of the industry regarding their view towards the topic of sustainability. It provides statements in response to four basic questions regarding sustainability. As this manifest is made by a focused, but in size and geography limited group, it is of course not representative. Therefore we would like to encourage everyone from the industry in addition to those from outside the industry to support us with comments. Tell us if and why you agree or not, and how we could improve and augment the statements made. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8585 Files in this item: 1
