• Abstract:
  Management of multiple relationships across the supply chain is, increasingly, being referred to as supply chain management. In the UK construction industry, supply chain management has replaced partnering as a latest buzz word. The concept has been raised to deal with the arms length adversarial relationships ingrained in the construction industry with a belief that working in collaborative environment would increase industry productivity and profitability. Partnering/partnerships and relational contracting are the means to achieve these aims. The paper argues that replacing these approaches, to obtain collaborative environment among trading partners, with the terminology of supply chain management is not an appropriate strategy as supply chain management differs from the management of relationships, currently practiced in the industry, in two distinct ways. Firstly it considers management of relationship as one of its components that is required as a medium to drive supply chain management and secondly it does not focus only on the immediate trading partners but takes into account all trading members comprising a supply chain from one end of it to the other. The concept of the supply chain management has already been overloaded with a profusion of confusing terminologies for over a decade. It is important to prevent it from getting into further confusions that may hinder the establishment of its problem domain and recognition as one of the management paradigms.
