The challenges associated with minimizing contract risks are numerous; therefore, adjustments will have to be made to handle such issues from a proactive standpoint. Solutions to help limit these challenges will be discussed in this business contract management memorandum. Since management will play a critical role in the contract risk management process, making effective decisions and meeting all contractual agreements will help the company seize more opportunity (Jennings, 2006).
The focus of this memorandum is on contracts, more specifically the bilateral contract entered into between Span Systems and Citizen-Schwarz AG. Since greater opportunities will develop from a successful contractual partnership between Span Systems and Citizen-Schwarz, the existing agreement should be taken seriously. With contracts leading as the major cause of business conflict, these conflicts can progress toward 1) a loss of production and/or productivity, 2) termination of business partnerships/relationships and 3) legal fees that can financially cripple a business (Jennings, 2006).
