1 Relationship Value in The Hardwood Lumber Industry in U.S. Sudipta Dasmohapatra Ronalds Gonzalez Forest Products Society Conference June nd, 2010
2 Introduction Commodity markets: Markets typified by the homogeneity of products and the virtual irrelevance of branding 1. Branding Price sensitive Hardwood Lumber = + What attributes can help Suppliers get higher customer share? 1
3 Product Service/ Promotion Relationship Price Past value literature indicate importance of relationships Placement
4 Purpose of this study Determine the role of relationships vis-à-vis other attributes in buyer-seller transactions or purchase decisions in the hardwood lumber industry; Provide insights about how buyers of hardwood lumber choose among suppliers; Examine the product, service and supplier dimensions that contribute to a higher customer perceived overall value in relationships, and higher customer satisfaction in the hardwood lumber industry. 4
5 Research methodology Determination of goals and objectives of the research Literature review Determination of sampletarget characteristics Research source for contact list Filtering contact list Survey design Data collection Analysis 5
6 Response rate Description Number Population 1,058 Filtered contacts* (347) Initial contact list 711 Returned ** (169) Adjusted populations 542 Completed responses 78 Response rate 14.4% * Sawmills and those located outside of U.S. ** errors, closed business, contacts no longer available 6

14 Relationship dimensions between buyers and their top two suppliers (n=78) Mean Attributes Supplier 1 Supplier 2 t Significance p-value* Readily adjusts their inventories to meet your needs It would be disruptive to your company s operations to end the business relationship with this partner The switching costs to another partner for this product would be large You focus on long-term goals in this relationship You are willing to invest time and other resources into the relationship with this supplier You share costs with this supplier on common activities (such as distribution, promotion, handling, others) *Test of significance using paired sample t-test between supplier 1 and 2 at 0.05 significance level. **Note: 7 point agreement scale where 1 = strongly disagree and 7 = strongly agree 14
15 First (top) supplier compared to supplier 2 (Quality, service and supplier attribute, n=78) Supplier 1 compared to Supplier 2 Mean Std Provides you more consistent product quality over time Products are more reliable You reject less products from the main supplier Provides you with better quality Gives you a greater feeling of being treated as an important customer It is easier to work with the main supplier Responds faster when you need information There is a better interaction between the main supplier s people and ours Performs better in meeting delivery due dates *Note: 7 point agreement scale where 1 = strongly disagree and 7 = strongly agree 15
16 Quality, service and supplier attributes rating of main (best) supplier compared to supplier 2 (continuation) Supplier 1 compared to Supplier 2 Mean Std You have less delivery errors with the main supplier Provides you with better services You can address problems more easily with the main supplier Provides you with better access to his know how Helps you in getting your products to market faster Knows better how to improve your existing products Performs better at presenting you with new products Performs better in helping you speed up product development Knows better how to assist you in new product development *Note: 7 point agreement scale where 1 = strongly disagree and 7 = strongly agree 16

19 Overall relationship value of first supplier versus second supplier (n=78) Attributes Mean rating* Standard deviation Offers higher value when comparing all benefits and costs of this relationship Adds more value to the relationship, overall *Note: 7 point agreement scale where 1 = strongly disagree and 7 = strongly agree 19

Predictors: (Constant), Regression factor score for: personal interaction with supplier, product quality, supplier know-how and delivery performance/service support. Dependent variable: overall relationship value 20
21 Regression coefficients and significance for the regression model. Model B Standard Error t Significance p-value* Constant Personal Interaction w/supplier Supplier Know-how Product Quality Delivery Performance/Service *Test of significance at 0.05 significance level. 21
22 Relationship value model (Hardwood lumber industry) Note: Relationship value = (Supplier know-how) (Personal interaction with supplier) (Delivery performance/service support) ( Product quality). 22
23 Conclusions 23
24 The top two suppliers for hardwood lumber buyer represent about half of their purchase transactions Supplier 1 is 1/3 rd so strive to be the first supplier. The top supplier (in terms of volume) is perceived as better than the second supplier on delivery of product quality, service, relationship value, customer s satisfaction and other supplier performance attributes. 24
25 Purchase decisions of hardwood lumber buyers are very sensitive to product quality, relationship with buyer-supplier, overall service and price (presented in order of importance). 25
26 The value of relationship in the hardwood lumber industry can be explained through four main dimensions (as determined in this study) of supplier know-how, personal interaction with supplier, product quality and delivery performance/service support Suppliers engaging in attributes related to Supplier know-how factors will result in a higher perceived relationship value from hardwood lumber buyers 26
27 Thank you for your attention
28 Buyer sensitiveness to price change 28
29 Limitations Sample size from the National Hardwood Lumber Association (NHLA) The lack of sufficient responses from a single industry. Only one respondent from each company was contacted for survey, which may have created a single respondent bias 29
30 Recommendations Future studies should include commitment and trust variables in addition to satisfaction Future researches may consider attribute supplier comparison between main suppliers (first two) against the other set of suppliers 30
31 Recommendations Future research could re-test the attributes with a wider sample size so that differences between different businesses categories can be noted (e.g. furniture vs. cabinets vs. flooring). 31
