Abstract

Summary The strategic importance of supply chain management in creating value is attracting the attention of both practitioners and academics. The potential of strategic cost management to support related value creation has been highlighted. However, very little research using case studies has been done to demonstrate how cost management is implemented along supply chains. The few case studies investigating the application of cost management along the supply chain have largely focused on single cases where supply chain participants have a dyadic relationship. In addition, limited research has focused on supply chain relationships in developing countries. This research uses multiple case studies to investigate and gain insight into the manner in which strategic cost management is applied along a product’s supply chain involving both first-tier suppliers, manufacturers, as well as retailers in the developing country of South Africa.
