What is the most likely outcome when two organisations with adversarial relationship negotiate with each other?

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.

Well, if they're really at odds, a lose-lose situation seems the most likely. Might as well call it a day and go grab a pizza.

Hmm, with two adversarial organizations, I'd bet on a deadlocked outcome. Shake hands and go home, I say.

I disagree, I believe it could also be a Lose lose situation if neither party is willing to compromise.
