Abstract: | The paper focuses on the question, how retailer-manufacturer relationships are influenced by the process of internationalization. The authors study the Swedish food sector. Theoretically the paper is based on a network perspective and resource dependence theory. It develops and tests a set of hyphotheses on how a retailer's relationships to its domestic suppliers will change when it gets a greater access to foreign products and suppliers, using a survey of 621 Swedish food retailers. |
