Abstract

This study introduces a structured approach for assessing value creation in supplier–buyer relationships by evaluating key value-creation indicators. Recognising strategic collaboration in B2B, the research focuses on identifying key indicators and determining their relevance based on Slovak manufacturing enterprises. Empirical data were collected via questionnaires distributed to manufacturing firms across Slovakia. Based on these data, a decision matrix was developed to quantify the value provided to suppliers and buyers. Results reveal that suppliers prioritise financial reliability and adherence to business terms, while buyers place higher value on service-related attributes such as maintenance and product quality updates. The proposed matrix serves as a practical tool for enterprises seeking to evaluate and enhance their stakeholder relationships. By offering quantifiable insights, the study supports more effective decision-making in supply chain and relationship management.
