Abstract

This paper develops a research model to integrate supplier's specificity investments and relationship learning, as well as competence building, and, further tests the model using collected data from 148 exporting suppliers in Taiwanese manufacturing industries. The study concludes that while the direct effect of supplier's specificity investments on competence building is not verified, the indirect effect, which is mediated by way of relationship learning, is positive.
