The Impact of Supply Chain Relationship Quality and Cooperative Strategy on Strategic Purchasing

2016

Developing a close relationship between suppliers and customers is well encouraged in the literature of supply chain management. Considering the dimensions of Supply Chain Relationship Quality (SCRQ) and Cooperative Strategy (CS), we aim to present a conceptual model for the effects of their indicators on Strategic Purchasing (SP). For this purpose, 187 questionnaires were distributed among recycling experts in order to identify the effective factors. Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) are used to discover the relationship among them. Moreover, this study utilizes descriptive-correlation methods with an applied approach. Through confirmatory factor analysis in SEM, factoring is accepted. Exploratory factor analysis is performed by SPSS 18. LISREL is then used for structural equation modelling. Research results demonstrate a significant and positive relationship among Supply Chain Relationship Quality, Cooperative Strategy, and Strategic Purchasing in recycling i...

Supply-chain partnership performance

We model the strategic as well as the operational dimension of performance of supplier– retailer partnerships in terms of five factors: (1) information exchange; (2) trust; (3) joint partnership management; (4) relationship-specific assets; and (5) partner asymmetry. Our paired data are from 74 supplier–retailer partnerships in the consumer-packaged goods industry. As a result we found that the factors that best model strategic performance are different from those that best model operational performance. All companies are in Korea and the retailers include international companies like Carrefour, Tesco, and Wal-Mart while suppliers include Coca-Cola, Kimberley-Clark, and Nestlé.
