Description

When the Wal-Mart supplier community began taking on a multi-functional team approach, the value of the customer-supplier relationship grew dramatically. Having years of experience in working in the international supplier community, Ken Simpson explains the importance of nurturing and maintaining key relationships with the Wal-Mart International team as well as the supplier’s in-country teams while balancing these relationships and their expectations with the supplier’s corporate headquarters. This is usually accomplished by having a balanced joint business plan that each entity works from, creating cohesion and consistency in doing business well together, both domestically and internationally.
