   • Prices go up. If your suppliers agree to keep their prices artificially high, you may have no choice but to pay them at an inflated price.
   • I nnovation and efficiency go down. Offering innovation and efficiency helps suppliers compete for your business. But if they’re no longer competing with each other, they’ll be less motivated to do so, resulting in things like longer lead times.
