Relationships of individual and groups among three-plus firms
represent the cornerstone concept in business-to-business (B2B)
contexts. The three-plus firms include manufacturer-supplier to
manufacturer-customer to distributor-customer, and facilitators (e.g.,
transportation and management consulting firms). The common thread of
the five papers in this volume is that making sense and achieving deep
knowledge of three-plus B2B relationships are necessary antecedents
for achieving high operating effectiveness, high (on-time) efficiency,
and sustaining profits for each firm in these relationships. As the
titles of the five papers imply, reading the volume provides deep
insights into the specifics of how high performing three-plus B2B
relationships influences these three major objectives of the firm:
National Cultures? Impacts on Western Industrial Buyer-Seller
Relational Process Models; Developing Guanxi Relations; Industrial
Buyer-Seller Relations in a Chinese Context; Adaptation in Business
Contexts; Working Triadic Relationships; How Do Managers See It?
Capturing Practitioner Theories via Network Pictures.
