Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Buyers are responsible for selecting the supplier and negotiating the terms of purchase. They have the formal authority to make these decisions. Users may provide input on supplier selection, but they do not have the final say. Influencers and gatekeepers may provide information and recommendations, but they do not have the authority to select the supplier or set the terms of purchase. Deciders may make the ultimate decision on whether to buy a product or service, but they may not be directly involved in the purchasing process itself.
