scale of supplier adaptive behaviors in Chinese context based on referring to extant research
results and carrying out interviews. Then, the paper explores the content dimensions of supplier
adaptive behaviors, using the method of exploratory factor analysis, and test the reliability and
validity of the scale. It is shown that the contents of supplier adaptive behaviors consist of five
dimensions, namely production adaptive behaviors, delivery adaptive behaviors, technical
adaptive behaviors, product adaptive behaviors and operation strategy adaptive behaviors. The
scale has good reliability and validity. The results can be used as a practical foundation and
guidance for researchers and enterprises in the future. © 2013 IEEE.
