Abstract: The importance of product design as a main determinant of process design has been emphasized in operations management literature for decades, but the direct and indirect impacts of product design on process and supply chain activities is a research area that has received less attention to date. This multiple case study addresses this research gap by assessing how and why changes in product design shape process and supply chain practices and in particular, how these changes influence global supply chain behavior and capabilities.
