Buyer-Supplier Relationships

內容大綱
In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to buyer-supplier relationships and supply chain management in general. Views of buyer-supplier relationships have evolved from the old school of the 1980s, where buyers and suppliers were viewed as part of a zero-sum game, to the more collaborationist outlook of the 1990s, which claimed that buyers and suppliers could cooperate to the benefit of both, to the more network-oriented view of the 2000s, where buyers and suppliers are parts of organic business ecosystems. One interesting fact is that, empirically, buyer-supplier relationships exist in surprisingly multifarious forms in different geographic regions and business sectors. There is no one dominant mode. This case provides an outline of eight different real-life examples to illustrate a broad range of buyer-supplier relationships.
