Question 4

Marked out of 1.00
Chamberlains have been supplying Extrava Builders with their branded construction machinery over the past 15 years. The
construction machinery is very expensive and has to be technically updated at least twice a year, since there are frequent
updates that enable new features of the machinery. Although Chamberlains have managed to secure the contract with
Extrava Builders for the past 15 years, there are other suppliers in this fast-growing market that compete for the contract
every year. Extrava Builders annually considers every tender, but have been awarding the contract to Chamberlains, because
of their strong brand and the research they put into the development of their construction machinery. Even though
Chamberlains and Extrava Builders share a mutual trust, they share very little information with each other. The onus of the
relationship, activities and coordinating tasks are on Chamberlains.
True or false:
The Bensaou supplier relationship model will profile the relationship between Chamberlains and Extrava Builders as a captive
supplier.
True
False
