Just-In-Time Exchange Relationships in Industrial Markets
研究了工业市场中原始设备制造商与零部件供应商之间新兴的即时交换关系,比较其与其他交换形式的异同,分析启动条件及成败关键因素。
A new form of relational exchange, commonly referred to as the “just-in-time” (JIT) exchange relationship, has been adopted and implemented by many original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers of component parts-materials during the past several years. Though the “exchange relationship” is at the core of the marketing discipline, JIT exchanges have received little attention in the marketing literature. The authors attempt to expand understanding of (1) how JIT exchanges compare with other forms of exchange between suppliers of component parts-materials and OEMs, (2) what conditions are most conducive to the initiation of JIT exchanges, and (3) what key factors are likely to influence the success or failure of initiated JIT exchanges.
