Abstract
This is the second of a two-case series (IMD-3-0820 and IMD-3-0821). The (B) case focuses on the purchasing of consulting services. The major difference from the (A) case is that here the focus is on the numerator, rather than the denominator in the value/cost ratio. Further analogies of the two cases leads to insights into traditional purchases of production (bill-of-materials) items.
