Swedish interest in research on channels of distribution for industrial goods has been limited historically. The same is true in other countries as well, as has been reported, for example, by
seller's market.' Demand exceeded supply. No kind of modern marketing existed; it was only a question of selling.[3]
His cooperation with
Gadde's research interest has remained in the field of "exchange processes among companies in business networks. These processes are analysed from two perspectives.
