Review of Supply Chain Partnership Process in Joint Ventures: Example as Chinese Automotive Industry

摘要

Under the environment of economic globalization, there has seen a global transfer of manufacturing into China and China's automotive industry engage in global trade. China faces unprecedented opportunities for development although there are many challenges that it must face. It has become a strategic choice for all automotive enterprises to implement supply chain management, in order to achieve competitive advantages. At present, most research on supply chain partnerships and their competitive advantage have been carried out based on enterprises in developed countries. Very few theoretical and empirical studies have been based on developing countries, and in particular only a few scholars have examined supply chain partnerships in China (Yeung et al., 2009).
