Which of the following is the true statement?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

In the scenario, the value of contract as well as the importance of purchased item justify the procurement's travel. Visiting a supplier at their HQ or operational facility may facilitate the procurement team in assessing, albeit briefly, the culture of the organisation, how busy they seem and how staff engage with each other. A visit is a good opportunity to assess supplier's capacity.

I'd go with option B. It's the only one that makes sense to me. Gotta keep those internal stakeholders happy, or the whole thing falls apart.

Haha, option C is so hilariously wrong. All connected stakeholders have a high level of impact, not low. This exam is really testing our common sense.

Option D is just ridiculous. Procurement decisions should never be driven solely by instincts. That's a recipe for disaster!

I'm not sure about that. I think option A is also a valid statement. External stakeholders like suppliers can have a significant influence on the procurement process.

Option B is definitely the correct answer. Internal stakeholder support is crucial for both negotiation and contract performance. You can't just ignore them.

I believe A) External stakeholders such as suppliers can largely influence an organisation's procurement negotiations is also true. It's important to consider their impact as well.
