Decision-making Unit Buyers choose suppliers and negotiate purchase terms often reducing the actual purchase to a clerical task. Users actually use the product. They may be the one who initiates the purchase process and may develop the product specification. Initiators begin the purchase Process. Deciders (Decision Makers) have the authority to approve the purchase. Deciders have the authority to select the supplier or model. Gatekeepers control the flow of information to the buying centre. Purchasing department Staff frequently fill the role but it could be any member of the organization. Influencers supply information and advice. Outsiders such as consultants sometimes perform the role.
