Organisational business connection

Until the early years of the twentieth century Emil Fischer and Carl Duisberg were not closely connected. They met each other at special occasions in Berlin, for example in committees for the organisation of education and for revision of examination standards for chemists. Fischer did not have many close relationships, and Carl Duisberg found that it was difficult to move beyond business to friendship. Most of their correspondence concentrated on relations of the Farbenfabriken Bayer with Fischer and discussions about chemical problems with the members of the scientific laboratory. Some of Fischer s students took positions at Bayer. Fischer knew some of them when he stayed in Munich. Therefore he often asked them directly when he wanted to get special chemicals or instruments for his work. Duisberg, who as member of the board was confronted with many more important problems, and who was frequently away meeting other people in Germany or in foreign countries, was not able to trouble himself with such minor affairs. 

The image of the company or organisation is also likely to be tarnished as a result of adverse publicity received in connection with any prosecution for breaches of statute. Loss of company image has predominantly economic disadvantages, usually because of the loss of good will or other intangible and invisible company assets, which in turn indirectly leads to a loss of business. 

A supply chain consists of various t5q)es of organisation, among which numerous network connections are formed. Through their involvement in the management of material goods and information flows, the links in the chain participate in the development of supplier-buyer connections. Connections between suppliers and buyers constitute a repetitive sequence in supply chains and, as such, can be deemed essential. Each business unit operating in the supply chain is a supplier and a buyer at the same time. This applies to suppliers of raw materials and retailers alike.
