A partnership relationship can be described as any relationship between a buyer and supplier where there is a good level of communication and both parties are happy with each other’s performance. Is this statement TRUE?
A.
Yes- partnerships are characterised by strong relationships
B.
Yes- partnerships are the only relationship type where both parties are happy with each other’s performance
C.
No- good levels of communication can exist in other types of relationships
D.
No- only strategic relationships involve good levels of communication.
The correct answer is ‘No- good levels of communication can exist in other types of relationships’. The study guide makes a point that not all good buyer: supplier relationships are partnerships. In fact 70% on supplier relationships will not be partnerships (according to Lambert who is quoted on p.131)
