| dc.description.abstract | The objective of this study was to identify the effect of foreign purchase on manufacturing performance. The research was based on private manufacturing sector. The research questions were presented in order to identify supplier selection of foreign purchase on manufacturing performance; the effect of contract management of foreign purchase on manufacturing performance and the effect of buyer-supplier relationship of foreign purchase on manufacturing performance. The study employed an explanatory research design. Out of the study population of 255 employees of the manufacturing sector, a sample size of 155 was taken, whose elements was selected using a probability sampling technique called stratified sampling on random sampling base. Questionnaires were used as the primary data collection instrument. The response rate was 92%, with 143 questionnaires properly filled out of the distributed 155 questionnaires. The research approach was quantitive research approach and data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analysis and then presented in tables. The finding of study implies that supplier selection of foreign purchase insignificant effect on manufacturing performance, contract management of foreign purchase has positive and significant effect on manufacturing performance and buyer-supplier relationship of foreign purchase has positive and statistically significant effect on manufacturing performance. This study recommends, since the results shows that there is a positive correlation between the independent variable (supplier selection of foreign purchase, contract management of foreign purchase and buyer-supplier relationship of foreign purchase) and the dependent variable manufacturing performance, the manufacturing firm should take in to account the variables considered. In this study 82.9 % of the variance in dependent variable (manufacturing performance) is explained and predicted by independent variables (supplier selection, contract management and buyer-supplier relationship). So that other interested researcher could identify another predictor and study more | en_US |
