Question 1

Varying levels of commitment is one reason why many partnerships fail. Why is this?

  1. Option A:

    It can lead to a lack of trust


  2. Option B:

    One party doesn’t fulfil their KPIs


  3. Option C:

    Sufficient time and resources are put in


  4. Option D:

    Less profit is made.

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is ‘It can lead to a lack of trust’ – this is a quote from p.162. The other answers are all incorrect; in a partnership KPIs are joint between the parties– so there wouldn’t be a situation where one party doesn’t fulfil their KPIs. Commitment doesn’t necessarily have a direct correlation with profit so that answer is incorrect. ‘Sufficient time and resources are put in’ is a positive thing, so can’t be a reason who a partnership fails.

Question 2

In a partnership who is responsible for decision making?

  1. Option A:

    The project steering committee


  2. Option B:

    Both the supplier and the buyer


  3. Option C:

    The buyer


  4. Option D:

    The supplier

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is both the supplier and the buyer- joint decision making is a key aspect of partnership relationships. A project steering committee decides on priorities, suggests improvements, conducts audits etc. See p.152
