Risks in Advertising Photography Services procurement

When requirements of the buyers are not absolutely clear or usage patterns are not stable or predictable, suppliers often build in \"cost buffers\" for unforeseen risks due to a lack of complete understanding on buyer's requirements. This increases the risk of overspending on Advertising Photography Services
The communications services industry is a labor-intensive industry and is vulnerable to the vagaries of labor unions. If a company fails to renew agreements or solve labor disputes, it can lead to labor strikes or stoppage of work, thereby leading to delays in service delivery
Suppliers may face a situation where they are unable to honor a contract in its entirety due to shortage of resources, finances or capabilities. While contractual terms safeguard buyers from the non-performance, their operations could still face massive disruptions due to suppliers' non-performance
