When an exchange becomes unbalanced, or loses one or more of the previously defined characteristics of balance, one of the several things may occur. Given other alternative sources of need satisfaction, the most likely outcome is for the exchange to be terminated. Perhaps of greater theoretical interest are those relationships that continue in some unbalanced form.....

....

.....Once an exchange transaction becomes unbalanced, Olsen suggests there will be a tendency on the part of the more powerful individual to maintain and otherwise to take advantage of the weaker one(s). By capitalizing on the advantage, the more powerful individual secures his or her advantage and avoids the added costs of a balanced exchange. In this connection, Olsen states the principle involved as follows: To the extent that a relationship becomes unbalanced as a result of power differentiation and cannot be rebalanced in some manner, it will be transformed from reciprocal influence exchange to coercive control exertion.
