Design/methodology/approach – Analysis is conducted using a structural equation model using survey data. Findings – Results demonstrate the positive influence of engagement and supplier selection on relationship performance. They also demonstrate that the success of the relationship directly and positively affects buyer performance. Research limitations/implications – Additional analysis is required to examine whether the results hold for specific industry or purchase scenarios, and to identify other dimensions of the constructs of interest. Practical implications – Buyers should pay attention to selecting the right suppliers and developing the infrastructure that will enable successful buyer-supplier relationships. Originality/value – The paper provides empirical evidence of the impact of cultivating buyer-supplier relationships on relationship success, and how this directly impacts business performance.

We measured entrepreneurial SCM competence in terms of five first-order constructs: innovation orientation, proactiveness orientation, risk-taking characteristics, relational capital, and coordination capability. We further proposed that this competence affects SMEs’ performance directly
