Abstract

This research is a case study belonging to the historical research. The data were taken from the Department of Natural Product Buying and Financial and Controlling XYZ CORP. XYZ CORP is a manufacturing enterprise and exporter of clove oil and its derivatives to the world with a market share of about 55% of the world market. This study aims to empirically examine and study the ethical behavior of suppliers in the ever-changing business environment. The analysis tool used is the Mann Whitney test with SPSS 17.0 software. Based on the survey results it was revealed that for natural raw materials, the average purchase price between the rainy season and the dry season does not differ significantly, but the cost of purchase in the dry season, and the rainy season varies significantly. In this study, the price does not affect the acquisition of raw materials purchased from suppliers. The results of this study also obtained empirical evidence that the trading patterns of natural raw materials are strongly influenced by the behavior or ethics of suppliers, in addition to weather factors or uncertain climate.

Highlights

  • Chain management falls into the field of management studies that accompany the rapidly growing field of study that has developed other previous managements (Jain et al, 2009)

  • Hypothesis 3: Does the purchase price affect the amount of natural raw material acquisition

  • XYZ CORP is a manufacturing company that exports its products to all over the world and controls around 55% of clove oil and its derivatives into the world market

Summary

Introduction

Chain management falls into the field of management studies that accompany the rapidly growing field of study that has developed other previous managements (Jain et al, 2009). An understanding of the culture can help to increase the confidence and the success of long-term performance in relationship of buyers and suppliers (Ang and Inkpen, 2008). Unethical behavior is from suppliers, such as the supply of counterfeiters, the distribution of misleading information, and speculation with the detaining of raw materials by not selling to the buyer. This condition will cause a scarcity of raw materials and supply chain system disorder. XYZ CORP in conducting its business relies on the ability to manage their supply chains and relationships with suppliers
