Trust and control building in evolving inter-organisational relationships: Evidence from the aerospace industry

This paper seeks to analyse the effects of trust in the control of inter-organisational relationships. The paper seeks a better understanding of the relationship between trust and control structures by investigating the relationship among different phases of evolution and maturity over time and it provides evidence of what shifted the changes. It reports on an aero manufacturing company during the restructuring of its supply chain and explores the governance of inter-organisational relationships during different supply chain maturity phases; moving from arm-length relationships to supply chain collaboration. In the paper we discuss the relationship between trust and control in each maturity phase and discuss its evolution as collaboration increases. We develop propositions from the existing literature with which we seek to interpret our case findings and explain the changes in the supply chain

The governance of inter-organisational relationships during different supply chain maturity phases

Inter-organisational relationships have increased in popularity over the last years and inter-organisational control has received a vast amount of academic attention. However, little research has an integrated approach to the study of inter-organisational control. The objective of this paper is to provide a holistic approach to the governance of inter-organisational relationships during different supply chain maturity phases. The minimal structure framework of van der Meer-Kooistra and Scapens (2008) will be applied for the study of the governance of the relationships. Using the supply chain maturity model, this paper explores how the minimal structures for the governance of inter-organisational relationships emerge and evolve over time. The paper reports the findings from a case study in an aero-manufacturing company
