Developing trust between the MoD and defence suppliers / Meddings, William; Jones, Nigel

Jones, Nigel	Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

A high level of trust between two parties has long been shown to lead to more efficient and successful outcomes to business transactions. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has traditionally had a confrontational relationship with its suppliers. Yet at the individual and project-team level in the MoD's procurement arm, DE&S, trusting relationships with defence suppliers are often generated. William Meddings and Nigel Jones examine the factors that lead DE&S project teams to trust their suppliers. Their conclusions reinforce the view that trust is overwhelmingly built up by interaction between people rather than organisations.
