Dramatic changes are under way in U.S. automakers，relationships with their suppliers.1 Before these changes began in the 1980s, the automakers dealings with outside suppliers had been characterized by short-term contracts (usually one-year), arms^-length relationships, and many (usually six to eight) suppliers per part. Hie fierce competition among outside suppliers for the automakers* continued patronage contrasted sharply with the comfortable position of the inside suppliers, who were usually guaranteed some or all of the business for an indefinite period. Nevertheless, there was little communication between the internal components divisions and either the central engineering groups who designed the parts produced by the divisions or the assembly plants they supplied.

Since 1980, however, the automakers have been moving (albeit in fits and starts) toward a very different supplier relations system. In the new system, only a few suppliers provide each type of part, and information is interchanged extensively between buyer and supplier. Contracts with outside suppliers are increasing in length (three- to five-year contracts are now common), and the automakers are reducing their commitment to their own components divisions, ending such practices as guaranteeing them business and in some cases divesting them completely.

These changes seem surprising on several counts. First, the automakers* willingness to give up monopsony power over their outside suppliers in favor of long-term, often sole-source contracts appears to defy economic logic. Second, a reduction in vertical integration at a time when both the technology and the market structure of the industry are in flux seems to contradict the predictions of organization theorists that vertical integration should rise with increasing uncertainty. Finally, the new supplier relations cannot be attributed to the discovery of some organizational form never before seen in the United States. In contrast to linear views of history, in which each change must represent a new, improved product, the recent changes move the U.S. auto industry back to a supplier relations system seen earlier in the twentieth century, when relationships with outside suppliers were close and vertical integration was rare.

In response to these questions, this article argues that a buyer firm with power in its final-product market can use that power to change the structure of its input markets. In choosing its supplier relations strategy, however, the buyer faces a trade-off between promoting technical progress in the industry and maintaining buyer bargaining power.

1. The passage suggests that the automakers' shift towards long-term, sole-source contracts with outside suppliers in the 1980s:
(A) Was a result of the automakers' increased monopsony power over suppliers
(B) Contradicted the predictions of organization theorists regarding vertical integration
(C) Was driven by the discovery of a novel organizational form
(D) Aligned with the linear view of history, where each change represents an improvement
(E) Was a response to the changing technology and market structure of the industry

2. According to the passage, which of the following best describes the relationship between U.S. automakers and their inside suppliers before the 1980s?
(A) Inside suppliers had little communication with the automakers' central engineering groups and assembly plants
(B) Inside suppliers were subject to short-term contracts and fierce competition for the automakers' patronage
(C) Inside suppliers were guaranteed some or all of the business for a definite period
(D) Inside suppliers had extensive information interchange with the automakers
(E) Inside suppliers were more vertically integrated with the automakers compared to outside suppliers

3. The author's argument that a buyer firm with power in its final-product market can use that power to change the structure of its input markets is most directly supported by which of the following observations?
(A) The U.S. auto industry's recent changes move it back to a supplier relations system seen earlier in the 20th century
(B) The automakers' willingness to give up monopsony power over outside suppliers appears to defy economic logic
(C) The automakers are reducing their commitment to their own components divisions
(D) The automakers' dealings with outside suppliers before the 1980s were characterized by short-term contracts and multiple suppliers per part
(E) The new supplier relations system involves extensive information interchange between buyer and supplier

4. The passage implies that the automakers' decision to reduce vertical integration in the 1980s was surprising because:
(A) It contradicted the linear view of history, where each change must represent an improvement
(B) It defied the economic logic of maintaining monopsony power over suppliers
(C) It went against the predictions of organization theorists, given the industry's uncertainty
(D) It involved giving up the advantages of having inside suppliers with guaranteed business
(E) It was a return to a supplier relations system that had been seen as outdated

5. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a characteristic of the automakers' new supplier relations system that emerged in the 1980s?
(A) Fewer suppliers provide each type of part
(B) Contracts with outside suppliers are longer in duration
(C) The automakers are reducing their commitment to their own components divisions
(D) Information is exchanged extensively between buyer and supplier
(E) The automakers are increasing their monopsony power over outside suppliers

6. The passage suggests that before the 1980s, the fierce competition among outside suppliers for the automakers' patronage:
(A) Led to increased vertical integration between the automakers and their inside suppliers
(B) Resulted in the automakers having monopsony power over their outside suppliers
(C) Encouraged the automakers to guarantee business to their inside suppliers
(D) Facilitated extensive information interchange between the automakers and their outside suppliers
(E) Stood in contrast to the secure position enjoyed by the inside suppliers

7. The author's mention of the "linear views of history" in the third paragraph serves primarily to:
(A) Highlight the novelty of the organizational form adopted by U.S. automakers in the 1980s
(B) Suggest that the recent changes in the U.S. auto industry's supplier relations are a regression rather than an improvement
(C) Argue that the U.S. auto industry's supplier relations have followed a consistent trajectory over time
(D) Emphasize the importance of historical context in understanding the U.S. auto industry's supplier relations
(E) Critique the assumption that each change in the U.S. auto industry's supplier relations represents progress

8. The passage implies that in choosing its supplier relations strategy, a buyer firm must balance:
(A) The benefits of maintaining monopsony power against the advantages of sole-source contracts
(B) The need for vertical integration against the desire for arms'-length relationships with suppliers
(C) The goal of promoting technical progress against the aim of maintaining buyer bargaining power
(D) The pressure to reduce uncertainty against the imperative to increase commitment to inside suppliers
(E) The appeal of discovering new organizational forms against the comfort of returning to old systems

Ancient Egypt, one of the world's earliest and most enduring civilizations, has captured the imagination of scholars and enthusiasts for centuries. The civilization's remarkable achievements in art, architecture, science, and technology continue to inspire and influence the world to this day. At the heart of ancient Egyptian culture was a complex system of religious beliefs and practices, which permeated every aspect of daily life and shaped the civilization's worldview in profound ways.

The ancient Egyptians believed in a pantheon of gods and goddesses, each of whom was associated with specific aspects of the natural world and human experience. The most important of these deities was Ra, the sun god, who was believed to be the creator of the universe and the source of all life. Other prominent deities included Osiris, the god of the underworld and the afterlife; Isis, the goddess of magic and motherhood; and Horus, the god of the sky and kingship.

The Egyptians believed that the pharaoh, who ruled over the land, was a living god, the embodiment of Horus on earth. The pharaoh was responsible for maintaining order and balance in the universe, and for ensuring the prosperity and well-being of the Egyptian people. To this end, the pharaohs commissioned the construction of massive monuments and temples, such as the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Temple of Karnak, which served as both religious centers and symbols of the pharaoh's power and authority.

The ancient Egyptians also made significant advances in the fields of science and technology, particularly in the areas of mathematics, astronomy, and medicine. The Egyptians developed a sophisticated system of mathematics, which they used to survey land, calculate the volume of granaries, and design complex architectural structures. They also made detailed observations of the night sky, which allowed them to develop accurate calendars and to predict the annual flooding of the Nile River, which was essential for agricultural production.

In the field of medicine, the ancient Egyptians made significant advances in the understanding and treatment of disease. They developed a wide range of medical treatments, including surgery, herbal remedies, and magical spells, and they wrote extensive medical texts that documented their knowledge and practices. The most famous of these texts is the Ebers Papyrus, which dates back to around 1500 BCE and contains over 700 remedies for various ailments.

Despite their many achievements, the ancient Egyptians also faced significant challenges and upheavals throughout their long history. The civilization experienced periods of political instability, foreign invasion, and economic decline, particularly during the intermediate periods that separated the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms. However, the Egyptians demonstrated a remarkable resilience and adaptability in the face of these challenges, and their civilization endured for over three millennia.

Today, the legacy of ancient Egypt continues to captivate and inspire people around the world. The civilization's art, architecture, and religious beliefs have had a profound influence on subsequent cultures, from the Greeks and Romans to the modern era. The mysteries and secrets of ancient Egypt, from the construction of the pyramids to the enigmatic Sphinx, continue to be the subject of intense scholarly debate and popular fascination.

Moreover, the study of ancient Egypt has also yielded important insights into the broader history of human civilization. The Egyptians were one of the first peoples to develop a complex system of writing, the hieroglyphic script, which allowed them to record their history, beliefs, and knowledge for posterity. The decipherment of the hieroglyphs in the 19th century by Jean-François Champollion opened up a new window onto the ancient world and revolutionized our understanding of the past.

In conclusion, ancient Egypt remains one of the most fascinating and enduring civilizations in human history, whose legacy continues to shape and inspire the world to this day. The civilization's remarkable achievements in art, architecture, science, and technology, as well as its complex religious beliefs and practices, offer a rich and compelling subject for study and exploration, one that continues to yield new insights and discoveries with each passing year.
