Abstract

In this paper, we present an overview of the nature of contracts in a buyer-supplier business environment, and identify factors that affect the contract relationships. Concepts from transaction cost theory and agency theory as well as the resource-based view are applied to develop an outline for mechanisms that can govern buyer-supplier contracts.
