It is an important issue for small-medium enterprises to build a long-term, cooperative, and reciprocal partnership. However, many small-medium enterprises with limited resources focus on short-term profits but ignore a fine and proper organizational culture to facilitate customer relationship management and partnership. Therefore, this research proposes the model of “familyship organizational culture – customer relationship management by walking around – symbiotic and interdependent partnership” is beneficial for small-medium enterprises to manage partnership. To explain this argument, this study draws on a single qualitative case study of J lighting company, the biggest lighting distributor in the southern Taiwan, to understand how the familyship organizational culture forms the customer relationship management by walking around and even shapes the symbiotic and interdependent partnership successfully. Finally, this article concludes with theoretical contributions and practical suggestions about business-to-business partnerships. |
