Actual exam question for CIPS's L4M6 exam
Question #: 18
Topic #: 8
[All L4M6 Questions]

ABC is a company which sources a vital component from a supplier. There are only a few suppliers in the industry and without this component, ABC would not be able to produce their final product. What type of relationship should ABC seek to develop with their supplier?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The correct answer is 'Sudden changes in the marketplace' -- this is a reason a buyer would be reactive. Reactive is when something happens to you and it forces you to act in a certain way. The other options would be strategic rather than reactive. P. 163

Outsourcing? Are you kidding me? ABC is way too dependent on this supplier to just outsource it. They need something more secure.

Strategic alliance all the way! ABC needs to ensure a reliable supply of this critical component, so they better get cozy with their supplier.

I disagree. ABC should outsource to reduce costs and dependency on a single supplier.
