International business-relationship triads
Article Abstract:
The article questions whether a dyadic analytical approach is adequate or appropriate to examine business relationships, as often three rather than two actors are involved: the selling party, the buying party, and an intermediary. A triadic approach is proposed and validated. Illustrative data are drawn from Industrial Marketing and Purchasing group research.
