dc.description.abstract | This study was on Negotiation and Supply Chain Agility of supermarkets in Nairobi
County. The objectives of the study were: to determine the issues negotiated by
supermarkets in Nairobi, to find out the relationship between the negotiated issues and
supply chain agility. The study adopted a descriptive survey design which was inclusive of
all the sixty- eight supermarkets in Nairobi County, Kenya. The study used unprocessed
data which was collected using questionnaires that were issued to various supermarkets by
the researcher in person. Procurement officials or their equivalent were the interviewees in
the various supermarkets in Nairobi. Results were shown by use of tables for better
interpretation. Data was analyzed using regression analysis and measures of central
tendency which are mean and standard deviation. The outcome from the study revealed
that Supermarkets in Nairobi County practice negotiation when buying goods from their
suppliers. The research results also showered a positive and remarkable relationship
between negotiation and supply chain agility. The study recommends future studies to be
carried out on other negotiated issues apart from those discussed in the study and the
remaining supply chain agility dimensions. The study was only limited to supermarkets in
Nairobi County and focused on a few negotiated issues and not negotiation as a whole and
Supply chain agilities’ few dimensions. | en_US |
