“…Joint planning activities are very important in achieving collaboration as these define the interorganizational processes between the collaborating parties (Lummus et al, 1998;Simatupang and Sridharan, 2005). Trust and transparency are important in joint decision making since it involves an exchange of information as well as sharing of resources and processes (Biehl et al, 2006;Potocan, 2009 (Chu and Fang, 2006;Zailani et al, 2008). The real test, however, whether supply chain parties have trust in their relationship, is when both parties are ready to share private and even proprietary information (Doney and Cannon, 1997;Gullet et al, 2009).…”

“…It was hypothesized that joint planning and decision making are associated with trust as it would be easier for firms to come together and do collaborative planning if the parties involved relate well with each other and can communicate 7 with each other (Ha and Park, 2011) and would be ready at least to share data necessary for the collaborative demand and supply planning. The presence of trust in both parties motivates them to honor their division of work and responsibilities inherent in joint planning and decision making (Mhyr and Spekman, 2005;Biehl et al, 2006;Potocan, 2009).…”

This paper presents the relationship between supply chain collaboration and trust, two important concepts in supply chain management. The transaction costs and stakeholder theories were used as frameworks in analyzing supply chain collaboration and trust. These constructs were developed through literature review and in consultation with industry experts. Factor analysis was conducted to identify the underlying dimensions of these constructs while correlation analysis was done to determine their association. A total of 57 companies from Philippine manufacturing and service sectors participated in the study. From the factor analyses, two important dimensions of supply chain collaboration emerged: (1) joint planning and decision making and (2) information sharing. The trust construct, on the other hand, revealed two important perspectives: (1) relational perspective (the longterm relationship of the supply chain partners and their familiarity with their respective organizations) and (2) risk perspective (the propensity and willingness to take risk under conditions of uncertainty). Correlation analyses reveal that information sharing, a measure of supply chain collaboration, is significantly correlated with the relational perspective of trust. The study contributes to the supply chain management (SCM) literature by providing comprehensive and pragmatic definitions of supply chain collaboration and trust. It also provides practitioners with a listing of SCM strategies that they can employ to achieve better collaboration.

“…The latter activity is related to sharing technology information and sharing of decision making (Kim and Oh, 2005;Petersen et al, 2003, Bozdogan et al, 1998McIvor and Humphreys, 2004). Sharing of technology information and decision making is facilitated by integrating the suppliers on the development team (Biehl, 2006). This approach is similar to an integrated approach to NPD project coordination (Lakemond et al, 2006b), which provides good conditions for knowledge integration.…”

Abstract:It is widely acknowledged that suppliers contribute positively to innovation in new product development. However, it remains rather unclear what suppliers actually contribute to innovation. Based on a literature review focusing on 80 articles, and a focus group meeting with strategic purchasing managers, a conceptual framework is developed categorizing different supplier inputs to innovation. This model is formulated by characterizing supplier inputs on a component level and architectural level, related to knowledge extension and knowledge reconfiguration respectively. Further, supplier inputs can be incremental or radical in nature, resulting in either a dependence on the supplier's process knowledge or the supplier's technology knowledge. These situations imply different conditions for knowledge integration.

This research has responded to the need for diagnostic reference tools explicitly linking the influence of environmental uncertainty and performance within the supply chain. Uncertainty is a key factor influencing performance and an important measure of the operating environment. We develop and demonstrate a novel reference methodology based on the data envelopment analysis (DEA) for examining the performance of value streams within the supply chain with specific reference to the level of environmental uncertainty they face. In this paper, using real industrial data, 20 product supply value streams within the European automotive industry sector are evaluated. Two are found to be efficient. The peer reference groups for the underperforming value streams are identified and numerical improvement targets are derived. The paper demonstrates how DEA can be used to guide supply chain improvement efforts through role-model identification and target setting, in a way that recognises the multiple dimensions/outcomes of the supply chain process and the influence of its environmental conditions. We have facilitated the contextualisation of environmental uncertainty and its incorporation into a specific diagnostic reference tool.
