Santema, S.C. Hultink, H.J. Faculty Industrial Design Engineering Department Product Innovatie Management Date 2011-12-31 Abstract The presented research is part of an on-going explanatory multiple case study on the information relationship between Purchasing, Engineering and Suppliers in product development. The paper addresses the question of what in the perception of Engineering, Purchasing and Suppliers constitutes a preferred supplier. Further the paper explores how the status of ‘preferred supplier’ is manifested in the information relationship between the buying and the supplying firm. The participating firms, all 1st tier and 2nd tier suppliers, come from the Dutch and German manufacturing industries of aerospace, automotive, industrial automation, and aeronautical equipment.
