摘要:
论文通过对关于供应商关系研究的梳理，阐述了制造商–供应商关系从众多供应商、短期合同为特征的对抗型关系到较少供应商、长期合同为特征的合作型关系的转变，引起这种转变的原因包括削减成本、提高业绩、扩大价值等。论文也总结了目前合作型供应商关系中的涉及的四类主要研究问题：依赖性，地位和利益分配；信息分享和沟通；信任；知识分享，新产品开发和创新。
Abstract: By sorting out the studies on supplier relationship, we describe the shift from arm’s length rela-tionship characterized by a number of suppliers and short-term contracts to long-term relationship characterized by a few suppliers and long-term contracts. The reasons causing the shift are costs cutting, performance improvement, value increasing and so on. We also summarize four issues of supplier relationship studies: dependency, power and distribution of benefits; information sharing and communication; trust; knowledge sharing, new product development and innovation.
