Shared management information in buyer/supplier relationships: its usefulness and its influence on continuity expectations
(2007) Ramón Jerónimo, Juan Manuel; Álvarez-Dardet Espejo, María Concepción; Naranjo Gil, David

The results confirm that the use of broad-scope management control information sharing in buyer-supplier relationships increases continuity expectations and reduces opportunistic behaviour
