Sumario:Supply chain management emphasizes the overall and long-term benefit of all parties on the chain through cooperation and information sharing. Recently, information sharing is attaining the concentration of the researchers. Majority of the previous work is on the individual effect of information and knowledge sharing on performance. This paper aims to focus on the combined consequence of information and knowledge sharing on supplier's operational performance through supplier-buyer relationship. A conceptual model was formulated based on previous literature. A questionnaire based survey was performed. Data from 30 Bangladeshi Readymade Garments Industry were collected through interview and mail survey. The content validity, construct validity, and reliability are tested. Path Analysis is performed for the identification of the validity of the model. The findings show that information sharing is a prerequisite for knowledge sharing and the close supplier-buyer relationship is a vital factor for escalating the supplier's operational performance.
