Abstract

This is a Spanish translation of the case ''IMD-6-0231''. The case describes the development of the buyer-supplier relationship between Freqon, a producer of frequency converters and NordAlu, supplier of extruded aluminium components. The relationship develops over 13 years, through different stages of joint activity, from a benchmark relation in both organisations to one marked by tensions and performance problems.
