许多公司现在认识到供应链管理活动在决定整体绩效方面的重要性。值得关注的一个关键领域是战略供应商发展。对香港电子行业的公司进行了一项调查，探讨供应商开发活动在买方-供应商绩效 (BSP) 背景下的作用。统计分析结果突出了五个因素，这些因素被证明与 BSP 的改善显着相关；有效沟通、供应商直接参与和信任被证明是直接相关的，而通过供应商直接参与进行调解时，供应商评估和供应商战略目标被证明是重要的。当西方公司考虑在远东建立业务时，特别是那些涉及外包的公司，应该会对这一结果感兴趣。此外，还为学术界研究供应商发展和 BSP 改进提供了一个框架。最后，从业者将深入了解特定的供应商开发工作如何能够改善绩效结果。
Many companies now recognise the importance of supply chain management activities in determining overall performance. A key area for concern is strategic supplier development. A survey was conducted of companies in the Hong Kong electronics industry examining the role of supplier development activities in the context of buyer–supplier performance (BSP). Results from statistical analysis highlight five factors, which proved to be significantly related to BSP improvement; effective communication, direct supplier involvement and trust proved to be directly related, whereas supplier evaluation and supplier strategic objectives proved significant when mediated via direct supplier involvement. The results should be of interest to Western companies when considering the establishment of a Far Eastern presence, particularly those involved in outsourcing. In addition, a framework for academics researching supplier development and BSP improvement is provided. Finally, practitioners will gain an insight into how specific supplier development efforts can result in improved performance outcomes.
