Abstract

Opportunism is ubiquitous in B2B relationships. Consequently, scholars have repeatedly called for both more nuanced research on different forms of opportunism and empirical investigations that go beyond dyadic relationships. Surprisingly, however, only few studies follow these two calls in conjunction. By investigating information leakages as a specific form of opportunism as well as their effects in the wider B2B network, the present work aims at filling this research gap. Additionally, it outlines different approaches that researchers can follow to strengthen their methodologies when studying sensitive topics such as opportunistic behaviors, aiming at the mitigation of potential social desirability bias in empirical studies.
