Radical innovations as supply chain disruptions? A paradox between change and stability

Canan Kocabasoglu‐Hillmer, Sinéad Roden, Evelyne Vanpoucke, Byung‐Gak Son, Marianne W. Lewis · 2023 · Journal of Supply Chain Management

Summary. Radical innovations in products and processes create paradoxical tensions in supply chains, particularly between the need for change and the need for stability. The paper uses case illustrations to examine how these tensions emerge upstream after radical innovation and proposes paradox theory as a framework for understanding and managing them. It identifies supply chain management as an underexplored area for paradox research and calls for future studies on post-innovation tensions.
