ADAPTATION THROUGH COOPERATION IN A SUPPLY NETWORK

The paper is focusing on adaptive and cooperative behaviour, which takes place in a supply network. The author seeks to describe motives and outcomes of the adaptation process. The article is based on a case with 10 suppliers, which together take the initiative and starts a calibration laboratory in order to meet the dimensional specifications and quality requirements set by the focal buyer. The suppliers adapt and cooperate by developing their production process to achieve a common goal, i.e. to improve the quality of produced goods.
