Abstract

PurposeThis study was steered to establish how buyer–supplier collaboration's commitment attributes serve as an antecedent for procurement performance in large manufacturing entities in Tanzania.Design/methodology/approachA parallel, concurrent, mixed method was used in the study. Quantitatively, 52 firms were surveyed from Temeke Municipality, Tanzania, using questionnaire that specified 1 procurement manager and 1 store manager from those firms, totaling a sample size of 104 respondents. Qualitatively, expressive opinions to supplement the numeric data were gathered from supply chain managers using the saturation principle. Explanatory design analyzed the existing cause–effect relationship, and the null hypotheses were tested using binary logistic regression at p values < 0.05 and ExpB > 1.FindingsFidelity and enthusiasm to suggest improvements to suppliers and the duration of the collaboration antecede the procurement performance of the manufacturing firms in Tanzania, while devotion to invest resources and initiatives on joint problem solving have no significant impact.Research limitations/implicationsThe causality between buyer–supplier collaboration and procurement performance has been revealed. Since there might be third party logistics in collaborations, future research should center on their moderating effect.Practical implicationsA framework has been developed for liberating procurement performance in the context of large manufacturing firms in Tanzania.Originality/valueBased on Transaction Cost Economics and Resource Dependency Theories, the study revealed the root cause of procurement performance in the context of Tanzanian manufacturing firms, while also considering commitment to buyer–supplier collaboration as a prerequisit for the commendable target.

买方-供应商合作的承诺。坦桑尼亚大型制造业实体采购绩效的先行条件
目的本研究旨在建立坦桑尼亚大型制造企业采购绩效的采购-供应商合作承诺属性。设计/方法学/方法研究采用并行、并行、混合方法。在数量上,对来自坦桑尼亚Temeke市的52家公司进行了调查,使用的问卷指定了来自这些公司的1名采购经理和1名商店经理,总共有104名受访者。定性地,利用饱和原理从供应链管理者那里收集了有表现力的意见来补充数字数据。解释设计分析现有的因果关系,并在p值为1时使用二元logistic回归对原假设进行检验。研究结果:对供应商提出改进建议的忠诚度和热情以及合作的持续时间对坦桑尼亚制造企业的采购绩效有影响,而投入资源和共同解决问题的主动性没有显著影响。研究的局限性/启示:本文揭示了采购-供应商合作与采购绩效之间的因果关系。由于合作中可能存在第三方物流,未来的研究应集中在其调节作用上。实际影响为坦桑尼亚大型制造公司的采购绩效自由化制定了一个框架。原创性/价值基于交易成本经济学和资源依赖理论,该研究揭示了坦桑尼亚制造企业采购绩效的根本原因,同时也考虑到对买方-供应商合作的承诺是实现值得称赞的目标的先决条件。

期刊介绍: Benchmarking is big news for companies committed to total quality programmes. Its enthusiastic reception by many prominent business figures has created high levels of interest in a technique which promises big rewards for co-operating partners. Yet, like total quality itself, it must be understood in its proper context, and implemented single mindedly if it is to be effective - this journal helps companies to decide if benchmarking is right for them, and shows them how to go about it successfully.
