Abstract
This paper investigates if re gional differences are able to influence trust-based relationship with suppliers. It
presents the results of a survey of 338 processing plants located in Western and Asian countries using structural
equation modeling. Findings suggest that supplier involvement in quality is taken for granted, but it is not
related to trust or par tnership. Regional differences may also affect the development of partnership in the supply
chain. The two main aspects are the levels of trust and timeliness in Asian companies. These aspects bring
implications for managers dealing with international supply chains.
Key words: trust; supply chain partnership; supply chain management; survey.
