Answer to Question 1

Since the 1970s, companies have been using electronic data interchange (EDI) to transmit information about orders, inventories, invoices, and other data electronically between partners in a supply chain. This approach to bridge building, which predates the Internet, often relies on private networks and proprietary software and is time-consuming to set up. While it dramatically improves supply chain performance by alerting suppliers and customers about real-time demand, it also tends to lock partners into their relationship. After spending a lot of time and energy building a data bridge, companies are less likely to switch partners.

B
