Abstract

PurposeThis paper seeks to present a framework depicting the development of information power‐based relationships between firms, and to describe the effect of information power on long‐term relationships between supply chain partners.Design/methodology/approachThis conceptual paper combines literature from the field of information sciences regarding information integration with literature addressing traditional power relationships to develop a set of propositions describing how interfirm relationships evolve.FindingsThe conceptual framework introduced indicates that information can be utilized as a coercive and non‐coercive power base in supply chain relationships.Practical implicationsThe need for information may result in a firm utilizing either coercive or non‐coercive power as a means of obtaining it. This research provides interesting findings about the use of information, as a power base, and its role in interfirm relationships.Originality/valueThis paper combines literature from various fields to develop a needed conceptual model of information power roles within supply chain relationships.
