“…B2B marketing management, also known as industrial marketing management, is a fascinating research area attracting increased research interest ( Behera et al, 2022 ) which has unearthed interesting insights. Research in recent years has focussed on: (i) How corporate brand image influences managers’ decision-making in choosing an industrial corporate brand ( Balmer et al, 2020 ) in B2B operations; (ii) the role of social media in customer engagement ( Cortez & Dastidar, 2022 ); (iii) brand loyalty in B2B markets ( Nyadzayo et al, 2018 ); (iii) integration of B2C and B2B models ( He & Zhang, 2022 ); (iv) the influence of “entrepreneurial self-efficacy” on B2B sales performance ( Edwards et al, 2022 ); and (v) how B2B interactions and dynamism affect financial successes ( Chung et al, 2021 ). Nevertheless, B2B marketing has an involved link with supply chain management (SCM) since working relationships between buyers and suppliers are crucial for achieving sustainable competitive edge ( Fukukawa and Moon, 2004 , Terpend et al, 2008 , Jääskeläinen, 2021 ).…”
