Over Time

Adoption of SCM innovations by SMEs is a key critical issue addressed by this study. The study used an explorative study in measuring to which extent Tanzanian SMEs adopt SCM practices and whether there is a trend towards increased adoption of these practices over time. In doing so, test propositions on the differences between manufacturing firms, and between medium-sized and small enterprises were done. Furthermore, the motives of SMEs to engage in SCM innovations and perceived management challenges are explored. From analysis of our findings, we conclude that, SMEs still lag behind larger firms in utilizing the benefits of SCM practices. SMEs still face obstacles like knowledge, financial resources, technology and the like. Lack of trust between small firms has been identified as a major non-financial obstacle to information sharing and integration with other suppliers in the chain.

Supplier Relationship

Despite a growing scholarly interest in performance measurement systems (PMS) for collaborative networks, the literature highlights the success of co-operation from the buyer’s perspective, with far less attention given to the supplier’s perspective (Yeniyurt et al., 2014). In addition, only limited empirical research has been conducted on PMS in small and medium-sized enterprise networks (Bititci et al., 2012). This study investigates how information sharing and supplier integration in a buyer-supplier relationship (BSR) affect suppliers’ performance in the context of small firms. Information sharing includes both providing information (to a buyer) and receiving information (from a buyer). According to the results, neither BSR integration nor information sharing are associated with suppliers’ overall or financial performance. However, BSR integration showed a positive association with suppliers’ non-financial performance. Moreover, information sharing (both providing and receiving) in the innovation perspective showed a positive association with suppliers’ non-financial performance.
