Three steps forward, two steps back in automotive supplier relations

Abstract This article analyzes data from a survey of over 600 automotive suppliers in the United States conducted for MIT's International Motor Vehicle Program. The article shows that closely-linked, ‘voice’ relationships have performance advantages for both automakers and their suppliers. While progress is being made, only 21 % of survey respondents currently have such high-performance relationships with their customers.
