Major Field of Science: | Social Sciences | Field Category: | Economics and Business | Keywords: | Exporting;Exporter-importer relationships;Infidelity;Power;Distance;Opportunism;Uncertainty | Issue Date: | Apr-2019 | Source: | Industrial Marketing Management, 2019, vol. 78, pp. 198-212 | Volume: | 78 | Start page: | 198 | End page: | 212 | Journal: | Industrial Marketing Management | Abstract: | We propose a conceptual model of the power roots and drivers of infidelity in exporter-importer (E-I) working relationships. Based on data collected from 262 Greek export manufacturers, we confirm that the exercise of coercive power in the E-I working relationship by the exporter has positive effects on distance, opportunism, and uncertainty, as opposed to the exercise of non-coercive power that exhibit negative effects. In turn, distance, opportunism, and uncertainty each contribute toward driving infidelity in the relationship by the importer. The relationship length and relationship status were also found to have a control effect on infidelity. | ISSN: | 00198501 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.indmarman.2017.03.003 | Rights: | © Elsevier | Type: | Article | Affiliation : | University of Cyprus Dokuz Eylül University University of Leeds Cyprus University of Technology |
