Non-PRO Homework / test English to Italian Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)

Ciao... questo testo lo trovo particolarmente ostico. Avrei due domande da farvi sullo stesso paragrafo. Inizierei con questi vendors. Ho visto che significa fornitori o venditori, ma qui mi sembra strano... Voi riuscite a farvi un'idea precisa di quanto successo? Vi invio poi un'altra domanda sullo stesso paragrafo. Grazie, ciao!
"Carlos Slim Helu and his family own the controlling interests in Grupo Carso and wasted no time reducing CompUSA's costs by reorganizing CompUSA and focusing the company on its core products. Slim sold off CompUSA's PC manufacturing plant and its call center. He wanted CompUSA to do more with fewer resources in order to immediately improve the profitability of the firm. A lawsuit was filed by vendors over a noncommittal agreeement. Eventually, it was thrown out in the Texas courts, but differences between doing business in Latin America and the United States emerged. "
Grazie mille! Ciao! :-)
