7. Conclusion and implications
This paper has outlined the current practices of and relations between a major cruise company and its supplier base. In this research, we have detailed the various dynamics across the different types of supplier and provided a taxonomy classifying them. Clear differences were observed across categories and their key characteristics noted. While there are certain limitations to the generalization of the findings, it is believed that, given the oligopolistic nature of the cruise industry and its supplier base, the current sample offers valuable insights. It is clear from the above findings that numerous unique elements enter into agreements with a cruise liner. From the results of this field study, a number of best practices designed to deal with the various challenges faced by the cruise company can be outlined. In addition, these practices can be applied to other service industries to address similar challenges.
