Competing pressures of risk and absorptive capacity potential on commitment and information sharing in global supply chains

Vicky Arnold, Tanya Benford, Clark Hampton, Steve G. Sutton · 2010 · European Journal of Information Systems

Summary. Organizations participating in global supply chains face competing pressures when deciding whether to commit to and share information with partners. This study surveyed 207 organizations about their offshore outsourcing relationships and found that perceived business risk from supply chain partners strongly reduces commitment and information sharing, while partners' absorptive capacity strongly increases both. Commitment acts as a partial mediator between these factors and information sharing. Geographic and cultural location had no significant effect on these relationships.
