Apparent Authority

Definition

In the supply chain context, Apparent Authority refers to the perception or belief that an individual or entity has the power or authorization to act on behalf of another party. It is based on the outward appearance, representations, or actions that may lead others to reasonably believe that the individual or entity has the necessary authority. Apparent Authority can play a role in various supply chain activities, such as contract negotiations, decision-making, or the execution of tasks, and it is important to ensure that the actual authority is properly established and recognized to avoid any misunderstandings or unauthorized actions.
