Information sharing in buyer-supplier relationships

چکیده
The aim of this research project is the evaluation of performance in buyer-supplier relationships through the measurement of intensity and effectiveness of information flows occurring between two or more actors involved in a supply chain. It is grounded in the assumption that gradual increments of the information sharing produce positive increase in the local and global performance of the supply chain. Data will be drawn from the case study of a big Italian telecommunication firm who adopted a portal as e-supply chain solution. This paper presents the main phases of the research and the earlier results.
