Doctoral student Nassim Ghondaghsaz (project B5: Trust in Software-Defined Mobile Supply Chains) has published her results in European Journal of Management and Business Economics in a paper titled: “Identification of Factors and Outcomes of Trust in Mobile Supply Chains”.
This article aims to identify the conceptualization of trust as well as its factors and outcomes in inter-organizational relations in Mobile Supply Chains (MSC), where advanced technologies are combined to produce anything, anywhere.
In this form of supply chain, a relatively high degree of risk and uncertainty can emerge due to its dynamic and complex features. The authors have used a mixed-methods research design, combining a comprehensive literature review with semi-structured interviews with experts from the pharmaceutical industry in Germany. Based on the results, a conceptual model has been developed that elaborates on the process of building and maintaining trust as well as illustrating the factors and outcomes related to trust in MSCs.
