A LITERATURE SURVEY ON FORMS, ANTECEDENTS, AND OUTCOMES OF INTERORGANIZATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS Mohammed Belal Uddin 1 Abstract The partnership concept is extended by the philosophy of supply chain manage- ment into a multiform effort to manage the total flow of goods from the supplier to the final customer. To achieve efficiency and capture the target goals, different production activities are coordinated within the supply networks, as well as in different forms of interorganizational relationship. Regardless of the nature of relationship or types of busi- ness some external (uncertainty, global competition, etc.), interorganizational (interde- pendence, trust, commitment, goal congruency, etc.), and organizational (scarcity, asso- ciated cost, organizational capacity, etc.) factors influence the formation of interfirm relationships. The motive behind the formation of interorganizational relationships is to increase relational competitive advantages. Keywords: Interorganizational Relationship, Antecedent, Outcome, Supply Chain Management. ”•/·´L˝ Æ„˙/·¡ˆ»„¸ Ø„˚L˙„·Ø¢´´˝˝¡»`»ˆ“›¢˝§¡ˆ¤·¡ˆ«L˝»•„ ª„¸¯´ˆ»Æ”” L˝”ˆ¸ˆ¤·¡ˆ¡ˆ¸¯˙´„¢˝§˚„/ؤ¡…ؤ¸„L´˚L…Ø”ˆ/ L˝•ª¸Ø¡·»ˆ—˚•‚Ư— ”ˆˆ¯»Ø¸`´ ¤§·Ø`¡¤¡ˆˆ`¡ˆ…¯L§ • L¡·¢ Ø„¤¡/˙`ˆL˙``˝ˆ—¸˙L§/ˆ˝¢L´¡ˆ¤·¸ ˚„/Ø ˆ˙`• اˆ»Æ””L§ ¢˝§/˙`˚`„‚ˆ—¸˙L§˝§/¡ˆ `L˙L‚ˆˆ`“¢˝§/˙`˚`„‚¸ˆ˝ »ˆ—•¢˝§‚ˆ¡¤¤—»„“L„ª· »¤¤´´„˝¡˝§/¡ˆ (/˙``LÆ„L„˝„ ¡ˆÆ¢L§¢„ˆ—·”¯¡ »„Ø„) »¤¤´ˆ—¸˙L§˝§/¡ˆ (¡ˆ L§« L§¡„Ư—¡„ /˙`˙Ø˙§ª¤ /˙`` L§` L„ »Ø¸`´• L˚˝·/¯Ø˝§ »„Ø„) Ư—»¤¤´´ª„˝§/¡ˆ (¡ˆ¢·Æ/¯„ /Lª“ؤL´•L¡L´˙¢Ø˝§ ¡¯§¡ˆ…¯¢˝§˝§/¡ˆ »„Ø„) ¯Ø˙„»„»¤¤´• L`˝•‚¯L˝¡ˆ¡L˝˙¢˝§/˙`˚`„‚ˆ—¸˙L§‚ˆ¡¤• ا˚ Ø„ ƈ§¤§ª¤• L˝´ L” Ø˝§¸¯§ ¡ˆ¡L˝˙¢˝§/˙`˚`„‚ˆ—¸˙L§˝§/¡ˆ¡/˝¡ˆ L`/˙`·Ø»ˆ´”ª„¡ˆÆ¢L§¢„ _______________________________ 1 Assistant Professor Mohammed Belal Uddin holds a Doctorate Degree in Accounting from Xiamen University, China.
