Actor Bonds And Relational Norms In Networks
Christopher John Medlin, Pascale G. Quester · 1999
Actor bonds and relational norms are argued to be pre-eminent in explaining network relationships over the long-term. A model, based on relational time, is developed to explain relational norms as interacting 'states' and 'processes' leading to greater relationship ability to prosper. A methodology to test the argument is presented.
