| Abstract: | New partnerships between large and small firms are being forged in the UK through subcontracting. An emerging model of Japanese style partnerships is being introduced through Japanese direct investment and emulation by Western firms. This article reports on research into 4 large manufacturers and their suppliers and describes this transformation away from an adversarial form of contracting to higher trust obligational relationships. It also analyses the barriers to implementation and the pressures that it poses for the supplier firms. |
