Supply chain management have a significant role in the firms' business. In the modern time, collaboration with supply chain partner is very important to fulfil the requirement of customers. In this research paper, we will discuss the dichotomy among the trust building and the use of power in the collaboration of supply chain. In specifically, we find a kind of supply chain interaction we have called "dictatorial collaboration." This oxymoronic term refers to relationships of business in which one of the entities wields sufficient power "derived from its market position, size, system capabilities and strategic importance, etc.) to force over other companies in its supply chain to provide value added services or perform operational tasks that advantage the leading, dominant company without sharing the gain with the other companies. The results show that that problem of dictatorial supply chain behaviour has, to date, not been much discussed before in the ethics literature, it is our hope that our current performance of this issue gives the motivation for further research, investigation in future and grant, scholarship about the ethics of collaborative relationships in the supply chain management.
