| Tiivistelmä: | In the age of outsourcing, flexibility becomes important for competitiveness. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) that operate in a build-to-order environment face considerable external fluctuations that they pass down their supply chains. Hence, lower-tier suppliers who contribute to a manufacturer's efficiency and success face a difficult situation. This article examines the supplier's viewpoint. It focuses on the fact that flexibility is not always in the supplier's interest. A supplier must know when to refuse certain demands imposed on him and know when to become dissident. This article aims to propose a conceptual model that identifies the sources of supplier dissidence with regard to customer's requirements for increased levels of flexibility. |
