However, the [[unit of analysis]] of most of these theories is not the supply chain but rather another system, such as the firm or the supplier-buyer relationship. Among the few exceptions is the [[relational view]], which outlines a theory for considering dyads and networks of firms as a key unit of analysis for explaining superior individual firm performance (Dyer and Singh, 1998).<ref>{{cite journal | doi = 10.2307/259056 | volume=23 | issue=4 | title=The Relational View: Cooperative Strategy and Sources of Interorganizational Competitive Advantage | journal=The Academy of Management Review | pages=660| jstor=259056 | year=1998 | last1=Dyer | first1=Jeffrey H. | last2=Singh | first2=Harbir }}</ref>
