Buyer/Seller Relationships in International Industrial Markets

Article Abstract:

European industrial buyers' assessments of their suppliers is examined. The industrial marketing environment contains a close customer/supplier relationship. Foreign buyers present unique situations to the supplier. The foreign industrial buyer perceives the commercial and technical skills of the supplier, though separated by such distances as social, cultural and geographical. Buyers' commitment to their suppliers is based on their perceptions of the suppliers' skills. Product, price and delivery are always important, but skill assessment on the part of the buyer secures commitment.
