Business networks consist of interconnected business relationships that evolve over time. The main notion is that firms coordinate business activities and adapt their resources towards counterparts so that long-term business relationships are formed. From time to time, however, ongoing business between suppliers and customers is subject to unforeseen and uncontrollable events that cause sudden stops in business activities all over industries.Bringing together contributions from scholars in the field of business relationships and networks, this book presents unique insights into how and when rapid responses can be possible in the challenging times following business disruption. It explores the various origins of business disruptions, identifying channels for more active and apt monitoring of business contexts by managers. Readers will gain contemporary and highly relevant knowledge on several aspects of the widespread impact of sudden stops in business. The chapters provide readers with individual and detailed accounts and conclusions about business discontinuity and place them within a cohesive common ground in business relationships and networks.This edited volume will be a valuable resource for scholars across business disciplines, including business-to-business (B2B) marketing and organisational studies.
