Expert Solution

CORRECT ANSWER - a Zero-sum game

It is a type of demand and supply model where one party wins and the other looses. So in order to beat the competitor you play in such a position to win over it.

The rest of the options are not closely associated with the competitive orientation in supplier relationships.

CORRECT ANSWER b. complementary products

The rest of the options are incorrect as Vacations are encouraged during the slack season and discouraged during peal season to change the supply. Subcontracting helps in overcoming shortages in short term capacity by offloading the work on other producers . Even Adjusting workforce utilizing overtime and undertime can change the supply.

The rest of the options are incorrect

CORRECT ANSWER b. an increase in setup cost

Setup costs include all of the costs related with ordering the inventory like costs of packaging, delivery, shipping, and handling which is directly related to EOQ.

The rest of the options are incorrect as decrease in demand would lead decrease in EOQ and an increase in holding cost will do the same.
