Phone Maker Incorporated is a manufacturer of mobile phones. It is considering investing in a partnership with its supplier of batteries and circuit boards as it wishes to produce new models of its phone more regularly. What is the main driver for Phone Maker Incorporated?

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.

Hmm, I'd guess the main driver is 'Reduced product life-cycles'. Phone makers are always trying to stay ahead of the competition with the latest and greatest models.

I think it could be a combination of both cheaper costs and changes in the marketplace.
