Answer to Question 1

Interpersonal factors are the relationships among people in the buying center. Trust is crucial in collaborative partnerships. This is especially true when customized products are involved-the buyer may not see the product until it is finished and must trust that the producer is creating it to specifications. Trust and clear communication ensure that all parties are satisfied with the outcome, however interpersonal dynamics and varying communication abilities within the buying center may complicate processes.
