About the workshop
During the spring 1999 a group of Nordic researchers took the initiative to create a forum where researchers who studied relationship dynamics in various ways could meet and discuss ongoing projects. It was decided to arrange a workshop within the area and the first workshop took place in Kuusamo 2000.
Six workshops and in total 90 papers later, there is still a need to discuss and study the phenomenon of relationship dynamics. Several of the papers presented at the workshops have been revised and published in scientific journals, which is an indication of the importance that researchers of the same interest meet and discuss regularly.
It is now time for the 7th Nordic Workshop on Relationship Dynamics and the theme of the workshop is still 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. The theme for the 7th workshop, NoRD2012, will be “The complexity of Relationship Dynamics”. The goal is to open up for a fruitful and scientific discussion to expand our views and knowledge.
