Adversarial purchasing
Adversarial purchasing is the corporate practice of buying identical or equivalent items from competing suppliers. It is a form of strategic management designed to increase competition for a buyer's business in business-to-business relationships while simultaneously lowering the firm's dependence on a single supplier. Successful implementation of this strategy can lower the firm's prices and raise the service and attention from its suppliers.[1][2]
