The network view can be successfully employed while investigating the role of relationships in deriving the competitive advantage of contemporary supply chains. Prior studies, when elaborating on the competitive advantage of supply chains, are mostly anchored in either the resource-based view or the dyadic view, as two complementary, but distinct concepts. Consequently, there is a dearth of studies that elaborate on the concept of network competitive advantage as the extension of relational view. To address this gap, this study aims to combine the network view of competitive advantage with embeddedness as an important dimension of the social capital. In this study, the concept of structural and relational embeddedness has been employed to offer a systematic conceptual analysis of the network competitive advantages of triadic supply chains. Based on this conceptual reasoning, we then build key theoretical propositions that aid in deeper understanding of how the relationships are shaped by the social capital to derive the network competitive advantage of supply chains.

Podejście sieciowe może być z powodzeniem wykorzystane w badaniu roli, jaką odgrywają relacje międzyorganizacyjne w osiąganiu przewagi konkurencyjnej współczesnych łańcuchów dostaw. Dotychczasowe publikacje podejmujące tę tematykę są z reguły zakotwiczone w teorii zasobowej lub ujęciu diadycznym, jako dwóch komplementarnych, lecz odmiennych perspektywach poznawczych. W rezultacie brakuje badań, które podejmowałyby problematykę sieciowej przewagi konkurencyjnej będącej rozszerzeniem szkoły relacyjnej. Celem artykułu jest wykorzystanie koncepcji zakorzenienia społecznego (w szczególności zakorzenienia strukturalnego i relacyjnego) w rozpoznaniu sieciowej przewagi konkurencyjnej. W wyniku przeprowadzonych rozważań sformułowano postulaty, które umożliwiają głębsze zrozumienie roli zakorzenienia społecznego w kształtowaniu relacji międzyorganizacyjnych służących budowaniu przewagi konkurencyjnej łańcuchów dostaw.
