Thomas Clauß untersucht die situativen Leistungspotenziale alternativer Governancemechanismen für die Zusammenarbeit von Abnehmern und Zulieferern. Es wird gezeigt, das transaktionale (z. B. Verträge), relationale (z. B. Vertrauen) und plurale Governanceformen unterschiedliche Beiträge zur kooperativen Zielerreichung leisten können. Zudem wird verdeutlicht, dass die Wahl der Governance unter Berücksichtigung der Beziehung zwischen den Partnern zu treffen ist. Am Beispiel verschiedener Branchen wird die kontextspezifische Wirkung der Governance Studien, im Detail empirisch analysiert und in konkrete Gestaltungsmaßnahmen für das strategische Zulieferermanagement überführt.

​Zuliefererkooperationen gewinnen in Unternehmenspraxis und wissenschaftlicher Forschung weiterhin an Bedeutung. Aufgrund der interdisziplinären Relevanz sowie der daraus resultierenden vielfältigen theoretischen Perspektiven gibt es jedoch bislang noch kein einheitliches Verständnis für Begrifflichkeiten und Managementansätze. Thomas Clauß nimmt eine umfassende begriffliche Einordnung der Zuliefererkooperation vor. Zudem werden zwei grundsätzliche Zielsetzungen vertikaler Kooperationen (Effizienz- und Effektivitätsziele) pragmatisch voneinander abgegrenzt. Die Erreichung dieser Ziele erfordert den Umgang mit interorganisationalen Dysfunktionalitäten wie Opportunismus oder mangelnder Koordination von gemeinsamen Aktivitäten. Die damit im Zusammenhang stehenden transaktionalen und relationalen Governancemechanismen werden beschrieben und in Bezug auf die Leistungsfähigkeit der Zusammenarbeit bewertet.
