This study of interfirm relationships is tested on a sample of Korean electric and electronic parts industry. The hypotheses present that (1) buyer's power affects administrative structure and relational norms, (2) communications are affected prior three antecedents, and (3) buyer's power, administrative structure, relational norms, and communication affects relational performances. The results indicate that buyer's power plays important roles in administrative structure and relational norms but communications are not explained three constructs. The result also indicates performances are partially affected by antecedents.
