  abstract =	 {Rivalry is increasingly being contested at the
                  supply chain level of analysis. Rather than
                  competing “firm versus firm,” today's organizations
                  are battling “supply chain versus supply chain.”
                  Within this context, best value supply chains are
                  emerging as a means to create competitive advantages
                  and superior performance. While traditional supply
                  chains often focus primarily on one key outcome such
                  as speed or cost, best value supply chains excel
                  along an array of uniquely integrated
                  priorities—cost, quality, speed, and flexibility. We
                  describe how key organizational theories help to
                  distinguish traditional supply chains from best
                  value supply chains. To provide a foundation for
                  future inquiry, we offer theory-based research
                  questions that are focused on best value supply
                  chains.},
