“…The relational dimension was measured by commitment (Heide and Miner, 1992;Krause et al, 2007;Koufteros et al, 2007;Avery, 2010), socialisation (Gupta and Govindarajan, 2000;Cousins et al, 2006;Avery, 2010), trust (Coleman, 1988;Nahapiet and Ghoshal, 1998;Tsai and Ghoshal, 1998;Putnam, 2000;Inkpen and Tsang, 2005;McEvily and Marcus, 2005;Liu et al, 2009;Avery, 2010), and reciprocity (Nahapiet and Ghoshal, 1998;Coleman, 1988;Krause et al, 2007;Lawson et al, 2008;Avery, 2010). The structural dimension was measured from Chief Executive Officer's (CEOs) network of firms in the supply chain (Nahapiet and Ghosal, 1998;Inkpen and Tsang, 2005;Luo et al, 2004;Avery, 2010). Further, the cognitive dimension was measured by shared values (Hofstede and Bond, 1988;Tsai and Ghoshal, 1998;Krause et al, 2007;Hult et al, 2004;Nahapiet and Ghoshal, 1998;Simatupang and Sridharan, 2005) and common fate between firms (Perrone, Zaheer et al, 2003;McEvily and Marcus, 2005;Avery, 2010).…”
