This paper aims to contribute to a better understanding of why and how supply management influences the network position of the buying firm. The paper encompasses a multi-dimensional model built on the basis of the conceptual background of the IMP group. The model is used to analyse two cases: Adira, a family-owned manufacturer of machinery to cut steel, and Vulcano, a manufacturer of house gas water-heaters and boilers. Following totally different approaches in terms of supply management, these cases are likely to open new avenues in terms of the understanding of supply network strategies.
