Abstract

Misunderstandings arise in inter-firm relationships when one member is seen to be frustrating the other’ attempts to meet its goals. It is therefore crucial that distribution channel partners understand each other well in order to create mutual value. This inductive study explores the relational climate experienced by Japanese subsidiaries in their relationships with UK partners. Our novel thesis is that destructive acts in cross-border partnerships may serve to escalate dysfunctional conflicts. But, it is no longer safe to assume destructive act perceptions and the response repertoire of the wronged firm will be culture bound. Due to cultural erosion (e.g., caused by cross-border business consolidation), one cannot easily predict the effect of destructive acts on the stock of social capital and performance of the partnership.
