Abstract: | Business-to-business relationships are characterized by an exchange between two or more parties. Little is known about how service firms develop and maintain international relations during the establishment of a business. To analyze the relevance of the key mediating variable (KMV) model (J. Mark 1994), which maintains that business-to-business relationship requires commitment and trust, interviews were conducted with five different service entrepreneurs in Sweden, Australia and the UK. |
