Abstract

The objective of this research is to test the relational coordination model in the context of footwear value chain of the province of Tungurahua, Ecuador. For this purpose, a sample of 47 footwear producers obliged to keep accounting has been analyzed. By using a structured questionnaire, a survey has been applied for the collection of data. Pearson correlation coefficient has been used to test the relationship between relational coordination and the quality of relationships between footwear producers and clients and between footwear producers and suppliers. The relationship between relational coordination and footwear producer sales and the level of delays in suppliers’ deliveries has also been analyzed. The results show that there is a significant statistical relationship between relational coordination and the quality of relationships. However, a significant statistical relationship between relational coordination and sales or suppliers delays has not been found.
