Implementation of the Competitiveness Model in Terms of Cooperation with Suppliers

Abstract

The strategic vendor development model proposed by Krause was implemented in the data set, and the Handfield index indicating a more detailed analysis of the implemented elements has been used. Findings: Statistical research carried out in the form of correspondence analysis of the level of competitiveness and dynamics of the company clearly shows that the level of competition remains unchanged in companies that have maintained an unchanged level of relations. Practical Implications: This above-average growth model can be a strategic weapon for the buying company. The purchasing function can play an important role in supporting a company's operational strategy. Competition is one of the important elements that can save a company from bankruptcy or simply make a meaningful assessment of the development. Originality/Value: The implementation of the above model developed by foreign researchers made it possible to compare it with market expectations and to implement elements extending the model, thus enabling the implementation of elements facilitating building relationships with suppliers.

Competition Instruments Applied by Large Enterprises during the Crisis Triggered by the COVID-19 Pandemic

“…The notion of competitiveness is commonly used in present-day economics, albeit without a clear definition or interpretation. A universally acceptable (or consensual) definition of this category is absent; this is partly due to the fact that competitiveness can be studied at several different levels: of a country, region (Amaral and Salerno, 2019;Simionescu, 2016), sector, industry (Bednarz, 2013;Marakova et al, 2016), clusters (Ryzhkoval andProsvirkin, 2015), and enterprises (Kuźmiński et al, 2020;Shevchenko, 2019;Poufinas et al, 2018), all while using a broad range of measures and indicators.…”

Self-assessment and Preferred Characteristics of the Superior

“…This picture is complemented by features in the common sense of reasoning that are somewhat in opposition: this wise man is supposed to be a fugitive, impulsive or impulsive person, competitive, consistent and charismatic. The generation under analysis is oriented towards competition, rivalry and evaluation, and at the same time has a sense of self-esteem (Kuźmiński et al, 2020a;Kuźmiński et al, 2020b;Maslow, 1943;Putriastuti et al, 2019). It is therefore possible that they would like to see the same qualities in their future superiors (if they are to be their advisor and partner).…”
