Abstract

Ian R. McNeil’s concept of relational contracting helped to transform our understanding of a contract from a mere exchange of promises to the creation of a relationship. Contracts are “relations among people who have exchanged, are exchanging, or expect to be exchanging in the future—in other words, exchange relations.”
