Implications
The influence and leverage that buyers have over sellers, often determined by factors such as availability of alternatives, volume of purchases, and information symmetry.
Example
Example: Large retailers like Walmart exert significant buyer power over suppliers, often negotiating lower prices due to their large purchase volumes.
