The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, based on a review of the literature and particularly prior research regarding organization structure and the boundary spanning role of purchasing in a supply chain management context, we suggest that organizing for interaction indeed may be a “missing link” in supply chain management research, and that the dominant practice for organizing purchasing may be a significant barrier for meaningful interaction. Second, it is suggested that the issue in question can be addressed through understanding how to exploit interdependencies, and the organizational consequences of interdependence
