Abstract

In order to make the strategy for research and development (R&D) purchase system better serve the personalization of material requirements in R&D process, the authors propose to develop a strategy set which will satisfy the internal as well as external constraints simultaneously. Social network analysis is used to analyze the vertical and horizontal relationships among the project, department and enterprise layers. Through a case study, the authors display the regulatory relationship of participants under given organization pattern and supply chain configuration. To disclose the restricted equilibrium mechanism of participants involved, changes under different strategies are compared, which can assist enterprises to enforce the decision making and to improve the R&D purchase system ability. The authors outline some of the managerial implications arising from the research findings at the end of this paper.
