Review "Location Behaviour and Relationship Stability in International Business Networks investigates how buyer-supplier relationships within international business networks develop over time, looking at them from a geographical angle and from an actor composition point of view. Many existing theories assume that the application of lean logistics and modular production methods lead to uniform location behaviour on behalf of suppliers vis-a-vis their clients. Similarly, standing theories emphasize stability in terms of actor composition of business-to-business relationships and business network constellations. This book challenges the wisdom of these claims."--Jacket.
