Contractual and relational governance, supplier integration and new product performance: Moderating roles of supplier dependence and supplier-specific investment

Abstract

This study provides deeper insight into the management of supplier integration and a better understanding of ways that companies in emerging economies should govern these relationships to enhance new product performance. Looking through the lens of relational governance, transactional cost and resource dependence theories, we distinguish between the effects of relational and contractual governance on the outcome of supplier integration conditional to supplier dependence and supplier-specific investments. An analysis of a dyadic survey data, which consists of 125 dyads (i.e., 125 manufacturers and 125 main suppliers) in Turkey reveals that supplier dependence enhances the relationship between contractual governance and supplier integration while decreasing the relational governance – supplier integration relationship. In addition, we offer empirical evidence to suggest that supplier-specific investment has a negative effect on the relationship between supplier integration and new product performance. We also find that the indirect relationship between contractual governance and new product performance is at its highest at high levels of supplier dependence and low/medium levels of supplier-specific investments. Conversely, we discover that relational governance has the strongest relationship with new product performance at low levels of supplier dependence and supplier-specific investment.
