“…The proposed model development and empirical results can help managers plan for strategic partnership management for a desired level of innovation, operational, and financial performance. While supply chain collaboration is predominantly emphasized as a relationship orientation primarily for long-term and multi-faceted relationships [9], it must be accompanied by a complementary role for legal contracts and firm rules. Partnership development based on both investment exchange-based relationships and formal agreement-based contractual relationships are likely to strengthen overall partnership commitment from the perspectives of parallel-aligned, supplier, and buyer firms.…”

“…A key factor in supply chain partnership development is acknowledging the role of collaborative relationship [8]. To increase the collaboration benefit, existing studies sought various antecedents, such as collaborative awareness [5], collaborative culture and technology-driven inter-organizational Sustainability 2019, 11,449 2 of 19 systems [9], and supplier-buyer cooperation [10]. Based on social capital theory, which emphasizes the importance of relational resources, such as relational capital, cognitive capital, and structural capital, social capital was emphasized as the relational glue that contributes to a collaborative behavioral outcome [11].…”

With increasing numbers of nodes and links in supply network relationships, understanding partnership management and the required level of collaboration is important for sustainable supply network alignment. This study explores the impact of partnership orientation on partnership commitment and firm performance using a model based on social capital theory and resource dependence theory. It aims to understand the appropriate partnership orientation for the desired level of commitment and firm performance, including innovation, operational, and financial performance. Using a survey of 423 respondents representing three different partnership structure types (supplier, buyer, and parallel-aligned firms' perspectives), the relationship between partnership orientation and commitment in enhancing firm performance is investigated using structural equation modeling. Additional analysis identifies the moderating role of commitment and investment exchange on performance. The findings show that positive relationships between both investment and contractual-based partnership orientation positively contribute to partnership commitment, but the direct association between partnership commitment and firm performance type varies by partnership structure. Furthermore, (i) investment exchange level moderates the relationship between commitment and innovation and operational performance regardless of partnership structure type, (ii) negative investment exchange signals higher firm performance from the buyer firm's perspective, and (iii) positive investment exchange is absolutely necessary for financial performance from the supplier firm's perspective.

“…Similarly, the relational view argues that there exists a "supernormal profit jointly generated in an exchange relationship", which cannot be created by a sole individual firm and must be created jointly in a partnership [32]. Specifically, relation-specific assets such as SC collaboration are highly valuable for their rare and non-substitutable nature [33]. Both theories support the importance of SC partnership and collaboration management efforts, which can effectively lead to mutual benefits for participating firms.…”

Blockchain technology developed as a technical platform for electronic money. It is now considered a next generation information technology tool for sustainable growth in supply chain (SC) management. However, its study is relatively rare in the literature on SC collaboration and sustainability management research, despite its advantages in sustaining connectivity and reliability among SC partners. This study investigates how the use of blockchain in SC activities can influence (increase or decrease) SC partnership efficiency and growth, thereby affecting SC performance outcomes. Specifically, this study empirically validates a measurement and structural equation model with 306 SC experts from various industries. The findings show that the blockchain technology characteristics (information transparency, information immutability, and smart contracts) have significant positive effects on partnership growth and marginal effects on partnership efficiency. Though partnership growth has a positive effect on firm performance, partnership efficiency shows a negative effect.

Purpose: Firms face critical challenges in managing product quality in a global supply chain.In many cases, these challenges could be regarded as an agency problem which is a result of the goal conflict between the supply chain members. To address such agency problem, the purposes of this study are to explain how risk and reward sharing practices contribute to firms' quality performance in the supply chain, and to identify the drivers of applying risk and reward sharing.Design/Methodology/Approach: The hypothesised model, based on agency theory, is empirically verified by original survey data of 200 Chinese manufacturing companies using the structural equations modelling approach in a context of product recall.Findings: Supplier involvement and task programmability are two significant antecedents of risk and reward sharing. Further, the paper shows that risk and reward sharing have a positive effect on quality performance however in terms of contribution to quality performance, risk sharing and reward sharing may be substitution practices.Practical Implications: This research explains how managers could embrace better preparedness for risk and reward sharing in their supply chains. It is also suggested that although risk and reward sharing are seen as efficient means to improve quality performance, such practices should not be treated as a bundle.Originality/Value: Building on supply partnership literature, this paper contributes to agency theory by providing a solution to the agency problem i.e., risk and reward sharing and adding to the limited understanding of the antecedents of risk and reward sharing and examining the effects of risk and reward sharing on quality performance.
