目的-证明合作商业并不局限于大型跨国组织之间的品牌产品贸易。设计/方法论/方法-来自越南广泛实地研究的见解。研究发现——合作商业的好处是有目共睹的，但目前在零售食品链中很少有这种做法，这主要是由于不兼容的组织文化和竞争激烈的市场环境驱使大公司走向基于价格竞争的交易关系。来自越南蔬菜供应链的见解表明，合作商业原则的简单性，以及当文化有利于合作和贸易关系的伙伴关系时，这些原则很容易被采用。研究局限性/影响——研究结果基于在胡志明市及其周边地区进行的研究，研究范围很窄，但坊间证据表明，这些原则适用于所有商品，并延伸到越南南部以外的地区。实际意义——展示了组织文化在协作商业中的重要性，因此希望从供应链协作中受益的企业需要研究开发有利于协作的组织文化的方法。原创性/价值-本文揭示了合作商业原则在发展中国家背景下以及在没有对IT系统进行重大投资的低价值高风险食品类别中的应用。
Purpose - To demonstrate that collaborative commerce is not restricted to trade in branded products between large, multi-national organisations.Design/methodology/approach - Insights from extensive field research in Viet Nam.Findings - The benefits from collaborative commerce are plain for all to see yet very little of it is being practices in retail food chains at present, due primarily to incompatible organisational cultures and a competitive market environment that drives large corporations towards transactional relationships based on price competition. The insights from the Vietnamese vegetable supply chain demonstrate the simplicity of the principles of collaborative commerce and the ease with which they are adopted when the culture is conducive to collaboration and a partnership approach to trading relationships.Research limitations/implications - Findings are based on research conducted in and around Ho Chi Minh city and on a narrow product range, but anecdotal evidence suggests the principles apply across all commodities and extend beyond the South of the country.Practical implications - Demonstrates the importance of organisational culture in collaborative commerce, so businesses who wish to benefit from collaboration in the supply chain need to look at ways of developing an organisational culture that is conducive to collaboration.Originality/value - This paper sheds new light on the application of the principles of collaborative commerce in a developing country context and in a low value-high risk food category without major investment in IT systems.
