There are specific conditions that determine the appropriate choice of contractual relationship. These conditions include the production processes used by the buyer and supplier. Certain contract types are best suited to specific production processes. Therefore, misalignment of contract type diminishes the core competencies of the organisation, consequently its competitive advantage, and its economic value. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eStrategic Economic Relationships: Contracts and Production Processes\u003c\/em\u003e provides practical guidance in the form of: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A framework to distinguish different contract types, and\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Analytical tools to determine the appropriate contract type for the specific conditions facing the organisation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExamples are drawn from the private and public sectors especially as applied two the construction and infrastructure, and information technology\/management sectors - sectors characterised by their complex production processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe framework and analytical tools have their foundations in economic, and production\/operational management literature and practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hughes Consulting Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780473577209\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.19d","brand":"Robert D.
