It asks them to focus on more than one task at once: the construction and supply of a product to a ‘customer’ and the liaison with a ‘supplier' who is fulfilling a previously placed order.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe relationships are limited by restricted communication: face-to-face meetings are rare and therefore valuable.
