The impact of supply chain relationship dynamics on manufacturing performance
TLDR
In this article, a conceptual framework was developed incorporating dimensions of supply chain relationship dynamics and manufacturing performance, and structural equation modelling was used to test the model with data collected using a postal questionnaire from 200 suppliers in the electronics sector in the Republic of Ireland.Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate how the dynamics of supply chain (SC) relationships impact on manufacturing performance.Design/methodology/approach – A conceptual framework was developed incorporating dimensions of SC relationship dynamics and manufacturing performance. Structural equation modelling was used to test the model with data collected using a postal questionnaire from 200 suppliers in the electronics sector in the Republic of Ireland.Findings – There was mixed support for the impact of SC relationship dynamics on manufacturing performance. Hypotheses in respect of cost and quality were supported but those in respect of flexibility and delivery were not.Research limitations/implications – Using single informants and focal customers in research design.Practical implications – The process of forming and developing SC relationships can be complex and requires firms to be competent in areas such as negotiation skills, conflict management, anticipating problems/finding solutions...read more

The Commitment-Trust Theory of Relationship Marketing
Robert Morgan,Shelby D. Hunt +1 more
TL;DR: Relationship marketing, established, developing, and maintaining successful relational exchanges, constitutes a major shift in marketing theory and practice as mentioned in this paper, after conceptualizing relationship relationships as a set of relationships.

Developing Buyer-Seller Relationships:
TL;DR: For example, this paper pointed out that most of the research and too many of the marketing strategies treat buyer-seller exchange as a primary concern. But, they also pointed out, "too much research and practice have focused persistently on exchange between buyers and sellers".

Issues and opinion on structural equation modeling
TL;DR: In the past few years, the IS field has seen a substantial increase in the number of submissions and publications using structural equation modeling techniques, which has led some to describe this approach as an example of “a second generation of multivariate analysis”.
