Overview: There will be increasing focus on relationships, with both suppliers and customers, because of increasing global competitiveness, limited resources, and the need to maintain flexibility. The focus of relationship management will be on trust building, communication, joint efforts, and planning, and fostering interdependency will be increasingly studied and managed to achieve competitive advantage.
