4. Types of research
Case Study
Supply chain management is
case study research. It is the Study
of single group, incident.
Rather than using samples and following a
rigid protocol to examine limited no. of
variables ,case study involves a in depth
longitudinal examination.
5. Research Approach
QUALITATIVE approach
Supply chain management concerned with subjective
assessment of attitude,
opinions.
The focus in qualitative research
is complex and broad.
Helps in having insight into
problems or cases
6. Research problem
“Effective management of buyer- supplier relationship is
crucial to maintaining the work performance levels of
org. yet, little is know about this important relationship.”
7. Research Objective
The research goal of this work is to make a contribution
to improvement of export supply chain management.
To evaluate the current approaches to performance
measurement regarding export management.
10. Research Design
descriptive
The present qualitative research concerns 2 phases.
The first phase qualitative expert’s interviews with 7 people is
used to explore and discuss the buyer-seller relationship
factors, generated from the review of literature, and their
interrelationships. The findings of the experts interviews
refine that in focal exporter-producer relationship is
becoming increasingly essential to be created by the
BSRNT-dimensions for better providing valid conceptual
framework of ExSCM and propositions .
11. Research Design
The second phase qualitative multiple-case study
of 10 cases is used to test the conceptual framework
of ExSCM and propositions developed from the first
phase synthesized with ExSCM literature. In
addition, this research is influenced by ground
theory and different experts are reached to refine
the several research design steps
13. Data collection
Semi-structured interviews are used to interview the
respondents face-to-face using open-ended questions
mainly based on the interview’s protocol.
The unit of analysis is the focal exporter-producer
relationship that is based on interviewing each focal
relationship players, the exporter and the producer, as
one case study in their offices.
15. Analysis Of Data
Supply chain management: A multidisciplinary content analysis of vertical
relations between companies, .
It gives a good overview of SCM research published in journals related to
marketing, logistics, management, and marketing channels.
The authors find that the work type of most research is empirical in
nature, primary information is used more often than secondary information, the
information type is mostly quantitative in nature, studies are mainly explanatory-
predictive, the period of time in which the research is carried out is mostly
cross-sectional, the geographical area is mainly national, and manufacturing
samples are used most often. Particularly, the article confirms my suspicion that
there is “shortage of studies conducted on the supply chain as a network of
enterprises“.
Instead, most research turns out to focus on a single enterprise or on the
relationships of a single enterprise with its suppliers or customers.
