A robotic forklift picks up a sheet of glass thinner than a credit card and as big as two table-tennis tables, and effortlessly swings it 90 degrees before gently placing it into an oven where it will bake at 200 degrees Celsius. It's a graceful and finely engineered process and one of several that takes place minute after minute, hour after hour, day after day in Sharp's LCD factory in Sakai, western Japan.

It was a stalemate. Allergan's top executives faced each other off, refusing to acknowledge the other's sales figures. As each defended his end of the table unwilling to accept a version of the truth that the different numbers wove, the tension in the room rose. The standoff wasn't the first.

When it comes to vendor relationships, there seem to be two perennially taboo subjects: vendor entertainment and vendor press releases.
