business buying often involves long-term relationships with suppliers. How does this affect buying behavior

Businesses make a lot of effort to choose the right suppliers

By having a ling term relationship with the supplier has good and bad effects on buying behavior. I say this because it is a mass struggle for up in coming business entrepreneurs to be able to build long term supplier relationships which makes a lot of businesses end up failing. On the other hand for business that are already pretty established this is a benefit because they do not have to sorry about the suppliers side of bailing out and costing the business a lot of money.
