On Supply Ontology

Alexander Tsigkas ()

Chapter 3 in The Performative Enterprise, 2021, pp 59-94 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Supply Ontology is the knowledge about the meaning of supply for performative Enterprises. We discuss the importance of supply and no-supply events and use the power of Spencer–Brown notation of the Laws of Form for conceptualising meaningful supply chains. We show how through drawing distinctions, the development of concepts regarding the form of the modern Enterprise is possible, illustrating the approach’s heuristic value. The chapter includes three sections. First, we address the fundamental elements of what is known as the performatives of supply, the injunctions that perform the Enterprise. The second section addresses the meaning of the supply world. Using Heidegger’s radical ontology, we explore phenomena as part of the Enterprise world and discuss its hermeneutics. Finally, in the third section, we present two supply chain cases; the electricity supply chain and the logistic chain of events.
