Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a straight rebuy, the buyer simply reorders a product that has been purchased before without any changes in specifications or supplier. Therefore, the first step in the buyphase of a straight rebuy buyclass is product specification. The other options (problem recognition, general need description, supplier search, and proposal solicitation) are not necessary in a straight rebuy as the buyer already knows what they need, where to get it, and how much it costs.
