In corporate purchasing, competitive scrutiny is typically limited to suppliers of items that are directly related to end products. With “indirect” purchases (such as computers, advertising, and legal services), which are not directly related to production, corporations often favor “supplier partnerships” (arrangements in which the purchaser forgoes the right to pursue alternative suppliers), which can inappropriately shelter suppliers from rigorous competitive scrutiny that might afford the purchaser economic leverage. There are two independent variables‐availability of alternatives and ease of changing suppliers‐that companies should use to evaluate the feasibility of subjecting suppliers of indirect purchases to competitive scrutiny. This can create four possible situations.

In Type 1 situations, there are many alternatives and change is relatively easy. Open pursuit of alternatives‐by frequent competitive bidding, if possible—will likely yield the best results. In Type 2 situations, where there are many alternatives but change is difficult—as for providers of employee health-care benefits—it is important to continuously test the market and use the results to secure concessions from existing suppliers. Alternatives provide a credible threat to suppliers, even if the ability to switch is constrained. In Type 3 situations, there are few alternatives, but the ability to switch without difficulty creates a threat that companies can use to negotiate concessions from existing suppliers. In Type 4 situations, where there are few alternatives and change is difficult, partnerships may be unavoidable.

文章大意逻辑
文章开篇指出在企业采购中，对直接与终端产品相关项目的供应商通常会进行竞争性审查，而对于“间接”采购（如电脑、广告、法律服务等），企业常倾向于“供应商合作伙伴关系”，但这种关系可能不恰当地保护了供应商免受严格审查。接着提出企业应依据两个独立变量（替代方案的可用性和更换供应商的难易程度）来评估对间接采购供应商进行竞争性审查的可行性，这会产生四种可能情况。第二段详细阐述了这四种情况。 文章类型及逻辑简图
文章类型：总分结构。逻辑简图： Paragraph 1：In corporate purchasing, competitive scrutiny for direct related suppliers. For "indirect" purchases, favor "supplier partnerships", and two variables to evaluate the feasibility of competitive scrutiny for indirect purchase suppliers. Paragraph 2：Four possible situations based on the two variables. 问题类型及做题方法
问题类型：段落关系题。做题方法：通过分析两段的核心内容，判断第二段与第一段的逻辑联系。 选项分析
A选项：第二段并非是对第一段断言的证明，第一段未做出需要第二段证明的断言，该选项错误。 B选项：第一段没有描述需要第二段解释其发生原因的情况，该选项错误。 C选项：第一段提出用两个变量评估对间接采购供应商进行竞争性审查的可行性这一策略，第二段讨论了该策略下的四种情况，也就是该策略的应用，该选项正确。 D选项：第一段未呈现问题，第二段也不是在检查其范围，该选项错误。 E选项：第一段描述的关系不存在内在矛盾，第二段也不是在讨论矛盾，该选项错误。
