Abstract

Supply chain management for complex project requires continuous integration activities with the suppliers and subcontractors. This study proposes the firm performances, trust, relational norms, interfirm conflict and cooperation as major research variables, and collected the survey responses from the suppliers and subcontractors having experiences with complex projects. The statistical results indicate that the cooperation and conflict influence the firm performances, and that the inter-firm trust have some impact on the level of cooperation and conflict. It was also found that the inter-firm cooperation is influenced by relational norm. But on the contrary to our expectation, the relational norm has no significant impact on the inter-firm conflict. These findings may offer the significant implications leading to successful implementation of collaborative supply chain management in the context of project engineering area.

복잡다단한 프로젝트 기반의 공급망관리는 여러 협력업체와의 지속적인 통합노력이 요구된다. 본 연구의 목적은 프로젝트 공급망에 참여한 바 있는 협력업체들의 성과를 최종적인 종속요인으로 설정하고, 기업 간 협력과 갈등, 신뢰와 관계적 규범 등과 같은 주요 선행요인 간의 상호연관관계를 분석하는데 있다. 프로젝트 공급망 참여기업으로부터 조사한 설문데이타를 토대로 분석한 결과, 기업간 협력과 갈등은 성과에 영향을 미치며, 기업 간에 인지되는 신뢰는 협력과 갈등관계에 영향을 미친다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 다만 관계적 규범은 협력관계에는 영향을 미치지만 갈등해소에는 유의한 영향을 미치지 못한다는 통계적 결과가 도출되었다. 본 연구의 분석결과가 프로젝트 기반의 공급망 운영에 관한 의미있는 시사점을 제시해 줄 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
