Abstract

While collaborative planning and relationship quality are considered key contributors to supply chain performance, their mechanisms and linkages remain unclear. In order to help address this issue this book chapter introduces and unpacks the concepts of collaborative planning and relationship quality and investigates their role in supply chains. A multidisciplinary literature review was undertaken to identify conceptual and empirical work on relationship quality and collaborative planning. The chapter reveals a number of shortcomings in the literature and provides suggestions to guide future research on the links between collaborative planning, relationship quality, and supply chain performance. Implications are also provided for practitioners interested in enhancing the quality of interorganizational relationships and collaborative planning in supply chains.
