Organisations have to manage multiple and overlapping relationships and the increasing power and prevalence of these relationships means that they are at the centre of strategic decision-making. In this book, Donaldson and O’Toole address how organisations originate, sustain and develop relationships with customers, suppliers, competitors and other stakeholders from a strategic perspective.
