The aim of the IMP Journal Seminar in Rennes is to discuss research papers that address starting up / relationship initiation processes in networks, primarily around one or more of the following issues:

1) Interaction processes when developing new relationships by (university) start-ups
2) Interaction processes when established firms develop new customer and supplier relationships
3) Interaction processes when developing new (or re-configuring existing) relationships between public bodies and private businesses both as customers or suppliers
