[All L4M6 Questions]

Francisco has entered a partnership with Pedro, who is a key supplier, and wants to ensure that the partnership achieves all of Francisco's goals. As well as qualitative and quantitative KPIs, what other measures could Francisco take to ensure the partnership is a success?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The correct answer is 'Conduct regular audits'. This is explained on p.153. You wouldn't do an appraisal on a supplier in a partnership relationship as both parties are equal. Threatening a partner isn't good for the relationship and a damages clause would be used in a contractual relationship rather than a partnership.

I think having a damages clause in the contract is crucial. It provides a safety net in case things go wrong.
