The primary objective of this study is to categorize the buyer-supplier relationships in the Turkish automotive industry considering the typologies of buyer-supplier relationships in the academic literature. It is expected that the type of relationships and their management will show differences according to several variables such as the component in question and its technology, the competition in the upstream market, the type and extent of information exchange between the buyer and supplier, the past performance and history of the relationship, and the existence of other supply or sales alternatives. The second purpose of the study is to understand whether the conflict issues and conflict management styles in these different relationships vary from each other significantly and whether there are any third party interventions during the resolution of the conflict. For this purpose the identities of third parties and their roles during the settlement process were investigated.

Trust in buyer-supplier relations: the case of the Turkish automotive industry
Wasti Pamuksuz, Syeda Nazlı (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-01-01)
While the topic of interorganisational trust is gaining attention in academic literature, research on developing countries remains sparse. With the premise that certain contextual elements may be more relevant for developing countries, we expand on existing models by testing the effect of initial support, use of just-in-time delivery, and informal commitment to predict the trust that Turkish automotive suppliers have towards their buyers. The results support the predictions that soft technologies and inform...
