AB  - Purpose- This study aims to examine the influence of relationship quality and power on value creation and appropriation and ultimately, on satisfaction and relationship continuity. Based on the theory of social exchange, this study proposes a conceptual model, which positions value creation and appropriation as central variables in the nomological network of business relationships.Methodology- A quantitative study of 174 suppliers was carried out in order to compare the theoretical model with the empirical reality.Findings- The results obtained show that the relationship quality promotes greater value creation and appropriation in ongoing business relationships. As for power, its influence differs depending on how it is exercised within the relationship. Moreover, the appropriation of value remains the main driver of partner satisfaction, a sine qua non condition for the continuity of the relationship.Conclusion- This research contributes to a better understanding of value creation-appropriation in ongoing business relationships. By strategically managing their customer-supplier relationships, managers can create and capture greater value and gain a competitive advantage.
