Abstract

Numerous studies demonstrate that supplier development improves supplier’s performance, but very few explain how it works. Leveraging knowledge chain theory, we conceptualize that supplier’s knowledge chain management (primary and secondary classes) mediate the relationship between supplier development and supplier’s performance improvements. This framework is supported by theoretical and empirical evidence.
