Abstract
Predicting the success of a dyadic relationship during the very early stage of a relationship is quite critical since the existing SCDR elements have limited capabilities. Drawing on transaction cost economics and social exchange theory (SET), this study aims to explore and enhance the SCDR measurement tools that can likely predict putative relationship success. Using mixed methods in a longitudinal study, the research used qualitative interviews with an expert panel of supply chain practitioners and then surveys of selected dyads. Results show that culture matching is perceived to be a key element of the revised SCDR tool, one that will likely predict relationship success. The enhanced tool helps managers to comprehend the importance of organisational culture and its critical role in predicting the dyadic relationship success.
期刊介绍:
IIMB Management Review (IMR) is a quarterly journal brought out by the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore. Addressed to management practitioners, researchers and academics, IMR aims to engage rigorously with practices, concepts and ideas in the field of management, with an emphasis on providing managerial insights, in a reader friendly format. To this end IMR invites manuscripts that provide novel managerial insights in any of the core business functions. The manuscript should be rigorous, that is, the findings should be supported by either empirical data or a well-justified theoretical model, and well written. While these two requirements are necessary for acceptance, they do not guarantee acceptance. The sole criterion for publication is contribution to the extant management literature.Although all manuscripts are welcome, our special emphasis is on papers that focus on emerging economies throughout the world. Such papers may either improve our understanding of markets in such economies through novel analyses or build models by taking into account the special characteristics of such economies to provide guidance to managers.
