Presenting a model to analyze the obstacles to cooperation in supply chain management
Keywords:
obstacles, resistance, supply chain cooperationAbstract
With the intensification of competition, the increase of customer expectations, and the emergence of new technologies, the activity space of organizations has experienced fundamental changes. Practical cooperation is considered the most critical factor in the performance of supply chains. This research aims to identify essential obstacles in implementing supply chain cooperation. By controlling, eliminating, or managing these obstacles, we can revive cooperation in the supply chain of Automotive Group. The potential impact of these findings is significant, as they can lead to a more effective management of supply chain cooperation. The statistical population consists of university professors with at least 10 years of work experience, and we use a judgmental sampling method with a sample size of 10 people. The data collection method involves a researcher-made questionnaire, and the data analysis process is done with the help of interpretive structural modeling. Cultural issues and 'inadequate education and understanding' were identified as the model's critical variables with the most significant impact on other variables. Creating a culture based on trust in the supply chain, the foundation of collaborative relationships, can help reduce cultural problems. Also, learning from colleagues will lead to the development of skills and capabilities and will improve the organization's attractiveness.
