PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the effect of supplier relationship management (SRM) on the business performance of small-scale grapes processing firms in Dodoma, Tanzania. The paper also examines the moderating role of logistics capabilities in the relationship between SRM and business performance.Design/methodology/approachThis research uses a cross-sectional survey design. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 202 small-scale grape processing firms. The data were analysed through descriptive and structural equation modelling.FindingsThe findings revealed that buyer-supplier relationships, supplier development and supplier selection were positively and significantly related to business performance. Furthermore, knowledge transfer had no relationship with business performance. On the other hand, the findings showed that logistics capabilities significantly moderated the relationship between SRM and business performance.Research limitations/implicationsThe study was cross-sectional, conducted only in Tanzania, and focussed entirely on small-scale firms processing grapes as raw materials. Thus, generalising the study findings to other countries with different conditions should be done cautiously. Also, this study used subjective measures, and other studies could use objective measures.Practical implicationsThe study helps firm managers understand the importance of supplier relationship management on business performance. The findings also can be used by policymakers to create targeted policies and initiatives that support the firm’s growth and sustainability.Originality/valueTo the best of the researchers’ knowledge, this is the first attempt to find empirical support for the moderating role of logistics capability in supplier relationship management and the business performance of small-scale grapes processing firms in the Tanzanian context.

The reason for this is the sustenance bottleneck such as low-profit margin which is due to poor transportation management and optimization in the textile firms. The study population consisted of fifteen(15) textile firms in Lagos State. Given this, the study utilized the purposive technique and total enumeration model to infer specific information from a selected population. The study was conducted in 2021 targeting transportation and logistics employees. The study questionnaires were distributed to the transportation and logistics managers working in these companies. Consequently, 550(five hundred and fifty) questionnaires were administered however, four hundred and ninety(490) were valid for analysis. The study utilized partial least square(PLS) statistical model to examine the information harvested. The findings show that transportation management has an appreciable effect on economic performance. Furthermore, a synergy exists between transportation management and economic performance at 0.58 which shows a strong connection. Therefore, textile firms with an optimal mix of transportation proficiency can lead to maximum economic performance such as profitability.
