Supply chain collaboration: A literature review and empirical analysis to investigate uncertainty and collaborative benefits in regards to their practical impact on collaboration and performance" (2014). 2014 ii DEDICATION I dedicate this dissertation to my wife Rebecca for her never ending support and understanding. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Dr. Scott Grawe has had a tremendous impact on my development as a scholar and hopefully, also as a better person. He is a wonderful role model to emulate professionally and personally. I am indebted to him more than he knows. I would like to thank Dr. Mike Crum for continuously providing me guidance on what it takes to be a successful researcher, colleague, and student resource. I appreciate the time and effort he has taken on my behalf. Ramaswami, all I can say is thank you. Each of them has provided encouragement, helpful suggestions, and honest feedback throughout the dissertation process. I feel the intent was to not only improve the current research project, but to also further enhance my future research endeavors. For that, they have my sincerest gratitude.

Chapter 2 will synthesize existing supply chain collaboration literature and provide an assessment of the gaps in the understanding of the concept. The review will be augmented with thoughts from practitioners discussing why or what causes collaboration to occur, what practitioners look for when collaborating with other firms, and what performance implications result when successful collaboration occurs. Chapter 3 will utilize survey data to investigate uncertainty and its impact on supply chain collaboration, and eventually, firm performance. The relationship between uncertainty and supply chain collaboration is a topic yet to be fully explored and this …
