Precursors of Unethical Behavior in Global Supplier Management
研究通过焦点小组、个人访谈和邮件调查，分析了美国采购经理与非美国供应商关系中不道德行为的内部组织因素和外部跨组织因素。
SUMMARY A review of the literature suggests that unethical practices in buyer‐supplier relationships are related to two broad categories of antecedents: (1) internal, organizational characteristics and (2) external, interorganizational characteristics. The author examines how these two sets of factors affect unethical behavior that may occur in the relationships of U.S. purchasing managers and their non‐U.S. suppliers, through a combination of focus group and individual interviews and a mail survey that employs a dyadic methodology.
