| Summary: | A large proportion of inter-firm relationships (IFRs) in the outsourcing industry fail globally to achieve their
intended objectives. As such, the right management controls are required in order to support these relationships.
There is however, limited empirical research on effective inter-firm (buyer-supplier) relationships (EIFRs) and
management controls for specific industries. This study extends the literature by examining EIFRs and their
relevant management controls in the ready-made garments (RMG) industry in Bangladesh. The RMG industry in
Bangladesh is highly dependent on international buyers as they contribute significantly to the country’s economy.
Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine the relevant management control models to support EIFRs in the
RMG industry. Accordingly, a cross-sectional survey was conducted with senior managers of RMG suppliers in
Dhaka City. The results highlight the importance of market-based and trust-based control models in supporting
EIFRs in Bangladesh’s RMG industry |
