Abstract
Building, developing and maintaining supplier-customer relationships is no longer an individual accomplishment — but based on a team effort. Therefore, we regard key account management and other organisational structures that support supplier-customer relationships as being based on tearr accomplishments. However, it is not merely a question of organisational structures if the company is to match the customer’s buying centre — it is also a question of what resources and competencies are required to do so. And how should responsibilities and empowerment be organised in order to support the organisational structure in the creation of a unique supplier-customer relationship?
