Vertical integration, as well as outsourcing, are typical make or buy decisions and have beengiven attention in the academic area and among practitioners. Many previous studies havebeen done on the determinants of the span of process of a firm and the related choice ofappropriate governance structure. In turn, those decisions affect an appropriate structure ofsupply chain which continually evolves with environmental changes. In this study, we proposean evolution map of supply chains and groups of accelerators and decelerators whichaccelerate or decelerate the evolution of supply chains.In creating a supply chain evolution map, we define three dimensions of the evolution,namely, span of process, supplier base structure and inter-organizational relationship. Followingthese dimensions, we propose three stages for each dimension: full spectrum, core andoutsourcing and Micro-some for the first dimension, span of process. One-to-one, N-to-one andNo-to-N for the second dimension, supplier base structure.
