6 UNIVERSITY OF TWENTE PROF. DR. HABIL. HOLGER SCHIELE INTRODUCTION Accessing supplier innovation by being their preferred customer Collaborating with suppliers for innovation is increasingly becoming imperative. However, suppliers often are selective and do not work in the same way with all their clients. An often overlooked aspect of innovation management is, then, that buying firms need to be attractive for their suppliers. Measuring supplier satisfaction and becoming a preferred customer thus become a novel and powerful instrument in innovation management. 5
