It also includes many add-ons for items your company is not working on, but your intuition is telling you that you should be.The supplier’s study says that 90% of your industry will be transitioning to this innovative technology in a couple of years and that if your company does not move forward with it, you will fall behind. You are eager to grow revenue, develop your team, and impress your clients. The supplier says it is not making the innovative technology available to your competitors because it would prefer to partner with a prestigious company like yours.

While you appreciate the conversations you’ve had so far, you still feel uncertain about whether to partner with this new supplier.In your initial post, address the following questions:What research steps need to take place before you can reach a decision?How would you use qualitative or quantitative data to help you decide?
