Alliances and Networks: Creating Success in the UK Fair Trade Market
Data from a longitudinal study into the key management success factors in the fair trade industry provide insights into the essential nature of inter-organizational alliances and networks in creating the profitable and growing fair trade market in the UK.

However, relative success at leveraging these benefits is influenced by three managerial factors: partner choice, partner use and partner management

the impact they have had on day-to-day trading behavio
