Coupling, formalization and specificity:how idiosyncratic is the relationship?how easily could one of the nodes in the dyad be replaced (e.g., switching a supplier)?

Coupling, formalization and specificity

1.What is the nature of the interdependence between the two nodes in the dyad?

2. To what extent are activities in the dyad routinized? How important are standard operating procedures, for instance?

3. How idiosyncratic is the relationship? How easily could one of the nodes in the dyad be replaced (e.g., switching a supplier)?
