Maximum Score: 1

Where a supplier is incentivised to deliver improvements that create added value for the buyer, this is described as what type of outcome?

Suggested Answer: D

Incentive mechanisms that reward suppliers for delivering improvements (such as cost reductions, quality enhancements, or innovation) create mutual benefit:

The buyer gets better value or reduced costs.

The supplier receives rewards such as bonuses, gain-share, or stronger relationships.

This is the definition of a win-win outcome (D).
