Description:
This study describes cost management development projects in three customer-supplier relationships and analyzes these projects from the perspective of relationships. Differences in suppliers' objectives, actions taken, and results gained in the projects were found in the explorative study, although the customer's objective was the same in all cases. The use of cost information depended on the balance of power between firms, on the trust between personnel, and on the volume of the firms' mutual business.
