Abstract

When startups want to buy from large suppliers, they may find it challenging to establish a business relationship. As startups are new, small, have limited resources and scarce track record, they could be perceived as not attractive to start the relationship with large suppliers. Startups could benefit from understanding the challenges and opportunities from a customer attractiveness perspective. Therefore, we offer a systematic literature review and develop a framework for what makes a startup an attractive buyer from large suppliers.
