Which statements regarding Disintermediation in the Supply Chain are true, and which are false?

The more specialized a company’s services are in the supply chain, the lower the risk of disintermediation.

The risk of disintermediation is rather low for companies that handle high flows of goods and simultaneously process complex information.

Intermediation only makes sense if the cost of a direct transaction between supplier and buyer are lower than the cumulative costs of transactions between supplier, intermediary and buyer.

If digitalization makes it possible to retrieve information independent of time and location, this promotes intermediation.

Which statements regarding the Systematization of Networks are true, and which are false?

A structure-related approach is, for example, by size (number of actors, spatial dimensions).

A structure-related approach is, for example, based upon Meta-Logistics (cross-company logistics).

A structure-related approach is, for example, based upon the IT relationship (integration and data exchange via online shop or EDI).

A structure-related approach is, for example, based upon social criteria (power relationships, basis of trust, network culture, conflict potential).

Which statements regarding Disintermediation in the Supply Chain are true, and which are false?

Especially for products that do not require advice or physical inspection, disintermediation can occur.

Disintermediation only makes sense if the cost of a direct transaction between supplier and buyer are lower than the cumulative costs of transactions between supplier, intermediary and buyer.

If digitalization makes it possible to access information independent of time and location, this can promote disintermediation.

The risk of disintermediation is very high for companies that handle large flows of goods and simultaneously process complex information.

From a Supply Chain Management perspective, which statements regarding Network Levels or Partial Networks are true, and which are false?

Networks of goods deal with intangible goods in communication and data networks.

An essential component of social networks is social control among partners.

Financial networks also deal with equity investments in networks (e.g. mutual stock ownership).

Financial networks can be viewed according to three aspects: functional, institutional and financial.

Which statements regarding Everything as a Service (XaaS) are true, and which are false?

XaaS is an attempt to contain constantly changing customer requirements.

XaaS became possible through simplified data exchange via cloud computing.

The XaaS concept is about the almost unlimited possibilities of service offerings through simplified data exchange.

XaaS also stands for the digital transformation of services.

Which statements regarding Cooperation Strategies are true, and which are false?

Coopetition refers to the cooperation and competition between companies.

Vertical cooperation strategies refer to upstream or downstream value creation partners.

Vertical cooperation strategies include customer and supplier cooperation.

Strategic alliances are basically the same as coopetition.

Which statements regarding the Advantages and Disadvantages of Digitalization are true, and which are false?

One advantage is that dependence on suppliers increases, for example no more failures due to tightly calculated inventories.

Increased transparency in freight networks (e.g. tracking & tracing) has a negative effect on data timeliness.

Efficiency gains can result from accelerated flows in information and financial networks

One disadvantage is that social networks are becoming increasingly important for building and maintaining the supply chain.

Which statements regarding the Opportunities and Risks of Digitalization are true, and which are false?

Extensive data collection allows companies to secretly access and evaluate data.

Virtual organizations with the best companies worldwide are always at risk of lock-in.

Economies of scale and density effects can be achieved faster in digital networks.

Existing business partners in the supply chain may face the risk of disintermediation.

From a business administration perspective, which statements regarding the term “Network” are true, and which are false?

The term “network” refers to social networking of customers with employees (e.g. Facebook, LinkedIn).

The term “network” can be understood as a natural organizational form (transport and communication networks, banks, insurance companies).

The term “network” describes a political organizational form (e.g. lobbying).

The term “network” can be understood as an innovative, superior organizational form (Value Net, Value Network, virtual companies).

Which statements regarding GDL and SDL are true, and which are false?

With SDL, value is consumed by customers.

With SDL, value in use is handed over to the customer (Value-in-Use).

With GDL, value is continuously generated by customers (service).

With GDL, value is handed over to customers in transactions (Value-in-Exchange).

Which statements regarding the characteristics of Supply Chain Networks are true, and which are false?

Decision-making processes are subject to double reflexivity.

Partners are interdependent across decades (triangular relationships).

Decision-making processes are subject to simple reflexivity.

Decisions of an actor are only derived from the individual target function of the organization.

Assign the orientations to the appropriate network type from a supply chain perspective. (Intermediary Networks /Transport Networks / Reproduction Networks / Multiplication Networks / Innovation Networks)

Oriented on the position in the network

Oriented on the distribution of goods

Production-oriented

Oriented on products and brands

Project-oriented

Oriented on the position in the network → Intermediary Networks

Oriented on the distribution of goods → Transport Networks

Production-oriented → Reproduction Networks

Oriented on products and brands → Multiplication Networks

Project-oriented → Innovation Networks

Which statements regarding Intermediation in the Supply Chain are true, and which are false?

Trust-building instances promote opportunistic behavior.

Bringing supply and demand together at a central point increases information asymmetry.

The use of ICT leads to an increase in transaction cost

Availability of information (e.g. pricing, product characteristics) reduces search costs.

Which statements regarding GDL and SDL are true, and which are false?

“Service” is the application of competencies (knowledge and skills).

SDL distinguishes between “service” (singular) and “services” (plural)

With SDL, everything is a service, including material goods.

“Services” as a form of output (in the sense of GDL).

Which statements regarding the Systematization of Networks are true, and which are false?

A level-related approach can be based on Meta-Logistics.

A structure-related approach can be based on social criteria.

A structure-related approach can be based on the development stage of the supply chain.

A structure-related approach can be based on the SCOR model (four levels).

Assign the orientations to the appropriate network type from a supply chain perspective. (Reproduction Networks / Transport Networks / Multiplication Networks / Innovation Networks / Intermediary Networks)

Process integration of the network

Utilization of the network

Standardization of the network

Problem-oriented reconfiguration of the network

Size of the network

Process integration of the network → Reproduction Networks

Utilization of the network → Transport Networks

Standardization of the network → Multiplication Networks

Problem-oriented reconfiguration of the network → Innovation Networks

Size of the network → Intermediary Networks

From a Supply Chain Management perspective, which statements regarding Network Levels are true, and which are false?

The three classical network levels are goods networks, information networks and financial networks

A distinction can be made between three classical and two additional network levels.

The three classical network levels are goods networks, information networks and social networks.

The three classical network levels are goods networks, institutional networks and financial networks.

Which statements regarding the characteristics of Supply Chain Networks are true, and which are false?

Exchanges (transactions) take place between actors.
