Course description

This course will provide students with a greater understanding of business-to-business [b2b] purchasing behaviour when transacting with both upstream suppliers and downstream customers in the emerging economies. Using examples from the food industry, students will gain a greater understanding of how firms in value chains coordinate their activities through enduring long-term relationships with exchange partners and how firms are embedded within dynamic industrial purchasing networks. The key elements for analysing networks will be discussed. Students will then be introduced to the key constructs which are instrumental in building enduring long-term relationships and the challenges associated with building enduring long-term relationships across national borders arising from differences in culture, trust and social capital.
