โฆ Synopsis
The use of eโbusiness technologies between supply chain organizations has primarily been examined from the viewpoint of buying firms or retailers, with little attention given to the benefits accrued to suppliers. Further, previous studies have been limited to either financial or marketing performance measures, or a narrow range of operational measures. This study builds on research in this area by testing a model of the relationship between supplier use of eโbusiness technologies in communication with their primary buyer, degree of buyerโsupplier coordination, and a complete set of benefits that include strategic and operational performance measures. Using data from 241 firstโtier OEM suppliers in the computer industry, the findings show that supplier use of eโbusiness technologies positively impacts organizational benefits both directly and indirectly by promoting buyerโsupplier coordination.
