Abstract

Historically, large corporations and minority-business enterprises (MBEs) have encountered many impediments as they have worked together. As a result, the government has adopted public policy to help promote greater interaction between large firms and MBEs. At the same time, the competitive environment has changed in ways that make it important for large corporations and MBEs to work more closely. This paper presents the results of a study that examined the impediments and approaches to buyer/supplier relationships between Fortune 500 firms that have corporate minority purchasing programs and MBEs.
