An experimental research methodology using a 2 × 2 factorial design was employed in a contrived marketing channel. Data were collected in two stages; first from business-school students in a behavioral laboratory and subsequently from managers representing an array of firms. The results indicate the important role of trust in explaining intentions to cooperate, exert controls, and adopt a strong influence stance in a buyer-seller dyad. Dependence also influenced intent to corporate and willingness to adopt a strong stance but had no effect on intentions to exert controls.enTrustDependenceControlCooperationNegotiationsResource dependenceTransaction costArticle
