Success factors in strategic supplier alliances: the buying company perspective
Article Abstract:
An investigation into the factors needed for a successful supplier chain alliance revealed that there are only a few guidelines for decision making in establishing strategic partnerships. The most significant move to be taken by purchasing managers is to develop and nourish a sense of trust with the supplier. This can be done by improving task coordination and really doing what one promises to do. It is important to note that formal commitments of time and money are not essential for the success of the partnership.
