Partnership Sourcing And Organisational Productivity. Case Study: Gm Tumpeco, Naka Wa Kampala

ABSTRACT

he study sought to establish the relationship between partnership sourcmg and organization

roductivity in GM TVMPECO with objectives such as; investigation of the contribution of

artnership sourcing towards organization productivity, identification of ways of developing

rorld-class partnerships and identification of the barriers of partnership sourcing.

'he purpose of the study was to assess the impact of partnership sourcing on organization

roductivity since organizations had not achieved the desired benefits from partnership sourcing .

. 1 the process of data collection , the researcher used instruments such as self administered

iuestionnaire and interviewing for primary data and extensive library research which data was

nalysed and presented in form of tables, percentage distribution, as well frequency distribution.

[herefore, the study found out that the contributions of partnership sourcing towards productivity in

}M TVMPECO were great since the productivity levels were low before development of the

:oncept and high after the concept was developed. More so, development of world class partnership

n GM TUMPECO was found out to be in a good path since the organization observed all the

·equirements as identified by some authors. Lastly, it was identified that there were barriers to the

.mplementation of partnership sourcing that in turn affect the productivity levels.

[t was therefore concluded that partnership sourcing plays a big role as far as productivity is

concerned since productivity levels increased after the development of the concept. It was further

observed that the concept is not adequately established due to the loop holes that were identified

and a lot of problems that hinder the implementation of the concept were also identified.

Thus, recommendations to the management of GM TUMPECO and intending researchers were;

management should fully understand the concept before implementing it, embrace change positively and parties involved in such relationships should be proactive. The intending researchers should carry out an in depth research about the loopholes in development of partnership sourcing.
