Technique Overview
Exit Strategies Definition
An exit strategy details the methods for withdrawing from a working relationship with a supplier (Elango, 2008; Kam et al., 2011). The term is also widely used to refer to the process of business owners exiting or selling a business or business unit, and in the financial markets with the trading of stocks and shares. Here we refer to exit strategies specifically in relation to the ending of contracting relationships between buyers and suppliers.
