DIGITAL PLATFORMS and Supply Chains

Supply chains are specific example of a decentralized organization that may have no specific legal or technological support. It is simply defined in relation to the trade relationships between customers and suppliers that form a network where the connections are created by production and financial relationships.
There exists an extensive literature that analyzes the nature of the supply chain aggregations and a number of papers that analyze the empirical evidence deriving from the existing supply chain operations and the propagation of financial shocks across them.
A nice introduction to the efficiency criteria that can be introduced in relation to supply chain operations and financial agreements, it is worth quoting the following two contributions Kikuchi et al. (2012)[1] and Kim and Shin (2012)[2].
