Building B2B relationships via initiation contributors: Three cases from the Norwegian-South Korean international project business
2018, Industrial Marketing ManagementCitation Excerpt :Thus—when linking the project marketing perspective to the initiation of a business relationship—activities that aim to scan and evaluate matching, define exchange, and build and fortify trust to improve operating conditions seem to be relevant. Regarding initiation contributors, the previous research on project marketing emphasizes personal contacts (Mainela & Ulkuniemi, 2013) and external facilitators (Welch, Welch, Wilkinson, & Young, 1996). Also activities such as presence at events, personal involvement, reference visits, negotiations, collaboration agreements, and buying access to proprietary technologies develop business relationships in a project (Ahola et al., 2013).
The influence of network effects on SME performance
2014, Industrial Marketing ManagementCitation Excerpt :Prior studies mostly examine the consequence of networking and have paid less attention to antecedents of external networking behavior (Chetty & Agndal, 2008; Gilmore et al., 2006). Evidence suggests that emotional intelligence is significantly related to network building, which is a key political skill (Ferris et al., 2005; Welch, Welch, Wilkinson, & Young, 1996). According to Freshman and Rubino (2004), emotional intelligence is a skill that can be acquired by appropriate managerial training, and it can have a positive effect on networking.
Multidimensional social capital as a boost or a bar to innovativeness
2014, Industrial Marketing ManagementCitation Excerpt :The development of the RSN is therefore less organic and more strategically designed than regional innovation systems and clusters (Hallén & Johanson, 2009). Several studies of the attempts of governmental and public investors to facilitate regional business networks have been made previously (Benz, 2001; Heidenreich & Koschatzky, 2011; Welch, Welch, Wilkinson, & Young, 1996a; Welch, Welch, Wilkinson, & Young, 1996b). However, the key management question of how to design networks has received relatively limited attention (Ireland, Hitt, & Vaidyanath, 2002; Nosella & Petroni, 2007; Partanen & Möller, 2012; Wassmer, 2010).
The past and the future of business marketing theory
2013, Industrial Marketing ManagementCitation Excerpt :One part of this research involved developing a way for government to target firms for assistance based on network positions and the international competitiveness of networks in which they operate (Wilkinson, Mattsson, & Easton, 2000). In other research we examined the extent to which governments can facilitate the development of internationally competitive business networks through a different type of market led grouping scheme (Welch, Welch, Wilkinson, & Young, 1996a,b, 1998). Third, the implications of networks and complex systems thinking for antitrust policy have been examined (Wilkinson, 2006).
