Abstract

In this part of the book we will define, characterise and simulate different generic types of supplier contracts to accomplish varying degrees of security and flexibility. We will then simulate a portfolio of these contracts applied to secure a single part, with the purpose of extending and refining portfolio valuation. We will focus our attention on business dynamics based on current best practices in portfolio management, as evidenced by leaders in volatile technology businesses.
