Value Creation and Capture in Buyer-Supplier Relationships: A New Perspective

Abstract

This research paper develops and tests a new model for value creation and capture in buyer-supplier relationships. In addition to including both value creation and capture in the same model, value creation is unraveled by the identification of its sources, both intrinsic and relational. Intrinsic value is the set of benefits derived from resources belonging to one party that can be captured by another party if there is a relationship between them, even if this relationship is non-collaborative. Relational value encompasses the mutual benefits that are generated as the collaboration between buyer and supplier increases. The model was tested using a survey of 127 dyads (buyer and supplier). The results indicated that both sides benefit from the total value created by the relationship, but the degree of value capture varies. The value perceived by the supplier is greater than that perceived by the buyer, which consequently encourages the former to boost its efforts even further to ensure that the relationship continues.

Value Co-Creation in the Specialty Coffee Value Chain: The Third-Wave Coffee Movement

“…In addition, in a value-chain, buyers and suppliers capture value from their relationships, and the relationship is a source of value creation that will affect value appropriation (Miguel et al, 2014;Tescari & Brito, 2016). Relational value is another value category that can be considered when analyzing production and consumption processes.…”

“…Relational value is another value category that can be considered when analyzing production and consumption processes. Relational value considers trust and cooperation among buyers, suppliers, and end-consumers that can contribute to an increase in customers' willingness to pay (Tescari & Brito, 2016). Considering a service-dominant logic perspective, value creation has a more holistic perspective and is achieved not only during transaction but also through collaboration within the experiences pre-and post-transaction (Prahalad & Ramaswamy, 2000).…”

Strategizing Corporate Entrepreneurship for Value Creation and Value Capture

“…It has been noted, that value creation can be unravelled by the identification of its sources: intrinsic (set of benefits derived from resources belonging to one party that can be captured by another party), and relational (mutual benefits generated through collaboration between buyers and suppliers). The results suggest the advantages of the relational value, indicating that both sides benefit from the total value created by the relationship, though the degree of the value capture may vary (Tescari & Brito, 2016).…”

“…Recently, the concepts of value creation and value capture, usually bundled together as one construct, have been separated through an empirical test (Tescari & Brito, 2016). It has been noted, that value creation can be unravelled by the identification of its sources: intrinsic (set of benefits derived from resources belonging to one party that can be captured by another party), and relational (mutual benefits generated through collaboration between buyers and suppliers).…”

The Relational View: Future challenges for a non-confirmed expectation

“…Any analysis, therefore, should also consider the gains obtained from the partnerships that exist between buyers and suppliers (Lindgreen & Wynstra, 2005). The value concept can represent this integrative dimension of the generation and The Relational View: Future challenges for a non-confirmed expectation capture of those benefits that lead to competitive advantage, but only a few recent studies have adopted this view (Chatain, 2011;Kim & Choi, 2015;Miguel, Brito, Fernandes, Tescari, & Martins, 2014;Tescari & Brito, 2016).…”
