BROAD SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT EXECUTIVE BRIEFING

Win-Win Competition: A Perspective on Competition in the Supply Chain from the Private Sector

This issue of the Broad Supply Chain Management Executive Briefing highlights an article written by Dave Nelson and Joseph Sandor, “Win-Win Competition: A Perspective on Competition in the Supply Chain from the Private Sector.” This article was featured in the October 2009 FAIR Point of View Series. The article discusses how commercial practices and trends can inform future federal procurement policy and process improvements and especially how a focus on maintaining healthy supplier-purchaser collaboration, as opposed to "blind" competition, can offer greater mutual strategic benefits.

The Federal Acquisition Innovation and Reform (FAIR) Institute is a nonpartisan and non-profit organization that works with key constituencies to promote a federal acquisition system that continually innovates to meet government policy objectives, meets world class standards of performance, and ensures the prudent use of taxpayer dollars. The FAIR Point of View Series, in which this article is featured, is “a forum for thought leaders in government, industry and non-profit sector to present thought-provoking point of views in order to challenge conventional thinking and spur dialogue across all parts of the federal acquisition community.”
