Studies of internal marketing systems have indicated importance of dyadic personalized relationships formed between traders and people tO whom they sell and from whom they buy (Mintz I959, I96I; Davis I973; Szanton I972; Belshaw I965). Usually referred by term relationship, they have been shown to secure and solidify channels of trade (Mintz I96I:57), especially in market situations where formal contracts are weak (Belshaw I965:80).
