CIPS Exam L4M6 Topic 10 Question 43 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIPS's L4M6 exam
Question #: 43
Topic #: 10
[All L4M6 Questions]

When developing a supplier partnership, a buyer can take either a strategic or reactive approach. What would be a reason for a reactive approach?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The correct answer is 'Sudden changes in the marketplace' -- this is a reason a buyer would be reactive. Reactive is when something happens to you and it forces you to act in a certain way. The other options would be strategic rather than reactive. P. 163

High profit margin? What, are we trying to squeeze the supplier dry? Nah, that's not the way to build a partnership.
