The importance of long-term supplier relations
 
In those times of doubts and economic roller coaster, should companies engage in long-term relationships with suppliers or adopt a flexible approach to client-supplier collaboration?
Staying on course and grabbing business opportunities whilst navigating stormy waters is a stressful responsibility for managers which will require them to strictly focus on their objectives and rely on other crew members to help with the more mundane tasks.
