power and responsibilities.
Key Weakness: The Hotel forgot to extend the current contract in time and
experience unhappy corporation with current supplier LaRoche. Thus if the
negotiation with Pat Hammer (Anderson) failed, the Hotel might face shortage in
coffee supply.
Opening Strategy:
We set the initial price at $6.50/lb and increase it to meet the satisfaction of
both sides, but the price must be lower than $7.40/lb.
Our party (the Hotel) can pay for the cost of shipping with a lower coffee
price, however the vendor (Anderson) should agree to deliver the coffee
every two weeks and when the shipment is received, we will pay the cost of
products every 10 days.
