The Path-Goal Theory The path-goal theory is
Buying the Perfect Solution: Every vendor offers unique products or services that will meet your needs. Describe how you differentiate between them? Selecting a vendor is in many ways like selecting a new car or any other appliance designed to meet the specific needs of a particular individual.
