Abstract: Selecting appropriate partners, considering the strategic nature of decisions related to information sharing in partnerships, is essential. Thus, the main objective of this paper is to propose a general and systematic model related to decisions of suppliers management. The model is focused in the strategic decision of partner's choice for information sharing, under an MCDA perspective. Aiming to illustrate the use of the model, the presented a numerical application based on real characteristics from Brazilian automotive industry. Then, it was verified that it is possible that the suppliers' categorisation in levels of collaboration is driving suitable suppliers to share information in appropriate ways. The model differentiates those found in supplier selection literature because it includes 'soft factors', which are more appropriated to partnerships in SCM.
