In a partnership who is responsible for decision making?

AThe project steering committee

BBoth the supplier and the buyer

CThe buyer

DThe supplier

Show Suggested 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

Ah, the age-old question of who wears the pants in a partnership. Option B is the way to go, although I hear the supplier sometimes tries to sneak in a few extra decisions when the buyer's not looking. *wink wink*

Partnership, schmarnership. I'm just here to get this exam done and move on with my life. But I guess Option B makes the most sense, since it's a collaboration, right?

Woah, hold on, the supplier making the decisions? I don't think so, that's the buyer's call. Option C is the way to go, my friend.

I agree with Fanny, the project steering committee should be responsible for decision making.

Hmm, decision making in a partnership... I'd say it's a joint effort between the supplier and the buyer, not some external committee. Option B looks like the right answer to me.
