The option contract can be a convenient solution for the buyer when the demand is difficult to predict due to market volatility. This type of contract helps the buyer to reduce the inventory risk and keep good relations with the suppliers, as they both agree to fix a price and adjust orders quantities after the demand have been determined, paying a reservation price that will be lost if the buyer decide not to exercise the option. For the supplier, sometimes can be beneficial, sometimes not, depending on the uncertainty in the demand and how much it cost for them to fulfill orders in shorter periods of time.

Having into account that Konys has been using stable suppliers for years, they certainly might consider signing long term contracts, especially for those products that are expensive and hard to procure like the liquid crystal display (LCD). On the other hand, the option contract could be mutually beneficial to protect against the risk of price increases and fluctuating demand, giving Konys and its suppliers more flexibility to interact and accommodate to the market change. However, as predicting demand is so challenging for short life cycle products, Konys might continue to struggle to meet suppliers and customers requirements. To decide what strategy is better for them, Konys should work to find forecasting methods for products with short life cycle and limited historical data that suits their

One factor that adds to the success of Toyota’s supply chain is their relationship with their suppliers and how they do business with those suppliers. Toyota does not simply give their supply contracts to the highest bidder; instead they work incredibly closely with their suppliers so that they can get the highest quality products possible. Toyota uses long-term, just-in-time contracts with all of their suppliers (Winfield & Hay, 1997). Toyota does not engage in any kind of mutual contracts, such as buy-back or revenue-sharing; however, they do take multiple steps to ensure a mutual benefit when they pair up with a supplier. Toyota invests in their suppliers to help them develop products (Liker & Choi, 2004). They also ensure that they share information with their suppliers in a structured fashion. They believe that targeted information leads to results and they ensure that specific communication is relayed to their suppliers at set times and in set ways (Liker & Choi, 2004). Perhaps the most unique aspect of Toyota’s relationships with their suppliers is that they embark on joint improvement ventures together. They set up study groups with suppliers to help both parties learn how to improve operations and send executives and engineers to the supply plants to help them improve processes (Liker & Choi, 2004). These kinds of benefits are described in the contracts Toyota keeps with their suppliers (Toyota Supplier, 2011). The close relationships that
Márquez uses the character of Angela Vicario to show the power women can possess over the men in their lives. Angela Vicario is arguably the most powerful character in the novel, as she is the one who tells her brothers that it was Santiago who took her virginity, which consequently sets the entire plot of the story in motion. After Angela is returned by Bayardo San Román to her family due to the fact that she is not a virgin, when her brothers ask who it was who took her virginity, Angela “nailed [Santiago’s name] to the wall with her well-aimed dart, like a butterfly with no will whose sentence has always been written” (Márquez 47). The way in which Angela searches for Santiago’s name shows that it may not have been Santiago who had taken
