I'm going with 'integrative stage' on this one. The description mentions timely communication, which aligns with the integration of processes across the supply chain.

Hmm, this sounds like the 'supportive stage' to me. Better coordination between departments and suppliers is the key focus in this stage.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be D) The integrative stage, as that stage focuses on integrating processes and information across the supply chain.
