摘要:In this conceptual article, the notion of interactional equilibrium (win-win) in business relationships is discussed. This construct refers to the efforts made by sellers or buyers to remain logical with themselves and to establish a fair relationship with each other. This article shows that consumers and producers’ behaviors can be mapped on the same graph (an Edgeworth box) while showing their interaction over time. Doing so, an understanding of predatory behavior as it occurs between sellers and buyers is achieved. The paper then proceeds to show that there is a strong link between the sense of equilibrium and perceived predation.
