The impact of supply chain relationship quality on cooperative strategy

Supply Chain Collaboration (SCC) - A Pilot Study of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Danang

“…The interaction of decision synchronization with other features of the framework is very important as it enables the chain members to orchestrate their decisions that contribute to the achievement of overall performance (Simatupang and Sridharan, 2005;Leat and Revoredo-Giha, 2008). The earlier the suppliers are involved in the product/process design and quality planning, the more quickly, and efficiently they can identify buyers" need effectively, and create a harmonious atmosphere, reduce the limitation of investment specialization and avoid being at a disadvantageous position in cooperation (Su et al, 2008).…”

“…Increasingly, firms are building collaborative relationships with their supply chain partners in order to achieve efficiencies, flexibility, and a competitive advantage (Nyaga et al, 2010) by adopting a long-term approach with joint efforts by each partner create unique value that neither partner can create independently (Corsten and Kumar, 2005). Collaboration is vital for firms in supply chain (Su et al, 2008) because of the fact that the ability to compete has been directly linked with their ability to collaborate with other enterprises. In contrast with the traditional business model, which focuses on internal processes, in modern perspective, SCC is much more necessary than an option (Togar and Ramaswami, 2005) it is an antecedent factor to build a successful supply chain.…”

“…Li et al also suggested that both the TQM and ERP had a fundamental role to the SC QM and overall SC performance. Su et al (2008) defined communication, trust, cooperation, adaptation and atmosphere (a closeness indicator) as the SC relationship quality (SCRQ) factors or constructs in a manufacturer-supplier setting, and investigated the impact that such factors had on the cooperative strategy using a survey tool among 311 Chinese manufacturing firms. Based on the analysis of survey results, the authors concluded that SCRQ factors had a significant influence on relationship persistence, frequency and diversity.…”

“…Two schools of thought exist regarding the effect of environmental uncertainty on buyer-seller exchange relationships. The first suggests that high environmental uncertainty engenders greater coordination among channels (e.g., Beuve & Saussier, 2012;Su, Song, Li, & Dang, 2008). The other stream of literature, based on transaction costs, argues that firms will diminish their reliance on interfirm relationships by emphasising flexibility in their task environment (e.g., Abdi & Aulakh, 2014).…”
