collaborative relationships have been identified as highly useful to the achievement of long-term supply chain objectives. An example of such is their relationship between major stores and their ability to sell numerous products from the same manufacturers or suppliers. Using one of the following (Amazon, Walmart, Target, etc) identify a similar product sold by each company at their stores or online and explain the collaboration process that is involved between them and the actual manufacturer or supplier. Discuss how this collaboration is effective for both when considering product cost, shipping to/from the store or distribution center, and customer service when products are returned)?
