The content of the course is motivated by the fact that an increasing proportion of value creation takes place in strategic business relationships. In particular, well-functioning relationships with the most important suppliers and the most important business customers are highly important to any companies.
The primary focus of the course is the management and development of strategic buyer-supplier relationships.
The course provides a fundamental introduction to buyer-supplier relationships. The course explores the key components of buyer-supplier relationships, and course participants will learn how buyer-supplier relationships can be analysed, managed and developed.
Specifically the course provides a deep understanding of the factors that influence the functioning of buyer-supplier relationships. Value, Power/dependence, trust and attractiveness are some of the core factors that are addressed in the course.
