Abstract

The business relationships could be business-to-business (referred to as “B2B”) or business-to-consumer (referred to as “B2C”). The global B2B relationships make up a complex supply chain network (see Fig. 14.1 supply chain network). The companies are suppliers to their own customers, and customers to their suppliers. In addition to existing business partnerships, the companies often maintain relationships with a plethora of potential customers and suppliers. These contacts are sources for business growth and solution for delivery bottlenecks.
