JF - THE IMP JOURNAL J2 - IMP JOURNAL VL - 6 PY - 2012 IS - 2 SP - 98 EP - 108 PG - 11 SN - 0809-7259 UR - https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2153583 ID - 2153583 AB - Relationships are crucial concepts in numerous management theoretical frameworks. Both stakeholder theory and IMP’s business network approach put business and non-business relations in the forefront. However, the two theories – stakeholder and business network – are seldom discussed together, and stakeholder theory rarely appears in the IMP literature. In this paper although we want to focus on supply chain relations we strive to conduct our analysis within a more general framework of stakeholder theory. In our research we observed and analyzed the mutual expectations related to various stakeholder groups – business partners (suppliers and buyers) among them. Keywords: business relationships, stakeholder theory, managerial expectations LA - English DB - MTMT ER -
