Introduction

6th Nordic Workshop on Relationship Dynamics, Uppsala, 6-8 Oct 2010; Deadline 7 Jun

The theme of the workshop is dynamics in buyer-seller relationships, including both business-to-consumer and business-to-business relationships. Relationship dynamics refer to all changes taking place in relationships; their beginnings, their ups and downs as well as their endings. The main purpose of the workshop is to give business and consumer researchers and doctoral students interested in the field of relationship dynamics an opportunity to present and discuss their research in informal workshop sessions.

As the earlier workshops, also this 6th workshop provides researchers with an opportunity to discuss the current knowledge within the field of relationship dynamics. This year we focus especially on how to capture relationship dynamics. The goal is to open up for a fruitful and scientific discussion to expand our views and knowledge.

Each participant will have 45 minutes to discuss the paper and receive comments from the commentators and workshop participants. Moreover, to enhance co-operation and dissemination of ideas, the workshop includes teamwork on specific themes that are of current interest to the researchers. The goal is to come up with fresh research ideas on the challenging topic of relationship dynamics.

Workshop venue

The workshop will be hosted by the Department of Business Studies (www.fek.uu.se), Uppsala University, Sweden. It will be held at Gimo Herrg?rd, which is a 18th century manor located in the heart of the ironworks? region () about 40 minutes drive from Arlanda Airport.
