Abstract
The cooperation of all supply chain members has become a crucial issue in ensuring the success of supply chain management. The streamline of the inter-organizational operations such as material flow/distribution, information flow/exchange, and product planning/development are required to facilitate the efficient operation of supply chain. To further sustain the competitive edge (e.g., time-to-market) of a supply chain, the cooperation mechanism has become an emerging research issue in current supply chain management.This study looks into a cause model of the cooperation of supply chain members. The impact of trust and relationship commitment on supply chain management is then examined. The data from thirteen companies participating in Plan B of Supply Chain Management in Information Industry were collected and empirically tested. The results show that the “trust” is significantly correlated to the information infrastructure dimension of supply chain management. The member’s “long-term” commitment also affects the planning and control operation of supply chain management. However, not many compares like to make a long-term commitment for each other in today’s fierce market competition.
