Strategic Supply Management and Dyadic Quality Performance: A Path Analytical Model
将买方-供应商关系分解为供应基础缩减、沟通和长期关系三个构念，检验战略采购对它们的影响以及它们对双方质量绩效的作用，发现战略供应管理能同时提升供应商和买方的质量绩效。
Summary A number of studies have addressed the critical role of strategic purchasing and its impact on buyer–supplier relationships. Most studies, however, treat buyer–supplier relationships as a single construct. Recognizing that buyer–supplier relationships are a much more complex phenomenon, this study first identifies three critical constructs including supply base reduction, communication and long‐term relationships for a broader conceptualization of buyer–supplier relationships. It then explores the effects of strategic purchasing on these three constructs, along with their impacts on dyadic quality performance. The proposed path analytical model was tested using structural equation modeling. Results provide robust support for the notion that strategic supply management improves the quality performance of both supplier and buyer firms.
