GWD1-Q36:

Which of the following can be inferred about supplier partnerships, as they are described in the passage?

             

1. They cannot be sustained  unless the goods or services provided are available from a large number of suppliers.

2. They can result in purchasers paying more for goods and services than they would in a competitive-bidding situation.

3. They typically are instituted at the urging of the supplier rather than the purchaser.

4. They are not feasible when the goods or services provided are directly related to the purchasers’ end products.

5. They are least appropriate when the purchasers’ ability to change suppliers is limited.

With “indirect” purchases (such as

computers, advertising, and legal

services), which are not directly

related to production, corporations

often favor “supplier partnerships”

 (10)     (arrangements in which the

purchaser forgoes the right to

pursue alternative suppliers), which

can inappropriately shelter suppliers

from rigorous competitive scrutiny

 (15)     that might afford the purchaser

economic leverage

 

请问这个答案是怎么推出来的，想不通

另外GWD22套的讨论不知道在哪里可以找到，

多谢指点~~~

这个supplier partnership是在买家和卖家之间达成的协议, 涂黄的地方说了, 就是说买家只好到这一个卖家这里买.  红的地方是这个partnership给卖家的好处, 就是说卖家不用和别的卖家竞争这个客户.  绿的地方是这partnership对买家的坏处, 因为买家没有选择了, 没有了economic leverage-讨价还价的余地.  意思就是说partnership杀死了卖家竞争的可能性, 对买家来说, 就非常有可能买的东西贵了而没有办法.

怎么多看法呀？

如果熟悉文章背景，还好办些，否则多看有时也看不出
