Abstract [en]
The purpose of this study is to gain a deeper understanding of a company’s business relationship building strategies and processes, especially in the field of doing business with the foreign business partners. In this study, a case study was conducted with the company of H&M. The ARA (actor- resource-activity) business relationship model was used as a theoretical framework in order to analyze H&M- Chinese suppliers’ business relationships. The results show that H&M- Chinese suppliers’ relationships are very important for the company’s overall business success. The relationship building is always a long process, which needs a lot of investments both in time and money. Since there is a significant culture difference, H&M has built up four production offices with Chinese employees in order to help the company to select and communicate with the Chinese suppliers. Guanxi as a relationship building strategy is especially important to know when doing business with Chinese suppliers.
