Abstract

One of the most relevant justifications for the implementing of supply chain management is the benefit generated by supply chain partnerships. This paper is firstly concerned with the symmetry between the theoretical and empirical benefits. Secondly, it aims to analyse the correlation between the empirical benefits and the level of investment made by the suppliers (capital and managerial time). A survey was chosen as the empirical research strategy, capturing 99 questionnaires from the population database. The questionnaires were sent to the operation managers during the first semester of 2002. For the data analyses, multivariate tests were applied. The results show symmetry between the theoretical and empirical benefits. In addition, the benefits are greater when the firms invest more in their managerial time than in capital.
