Abstract
Engaging in sub-supplier management activities requires insights into characteristics and dynamics of a firm’s multitier supply chain interactions beforehand in order to determine the potentially applicable management practices for a later stage of the project initiative. In this chapter, characteristics of buyer-sub-supplier relationships are analyzed and demonstrated in three industry cases. Furthermore, current sub-supplier management practices and structures are defined and categorized.
