success. How can you identify and mitigate risks in your supply chain? This

Contracting underlies many aspects

regulations, intellectual property, licenses and social responsibility. Supply
professionals are guided by laws and regulations to answer these questions. This

including how to identify the terms and conditions that are important for you
and your company, and how to draft an agreement that will be effective in
today's business environment.
