We review the salient features of a comparative study of the profile of the CKM unitarity triangle, and the resulting CP-violating phases $\alpha$, $\beta$ and $\gamma$ in B decays, in the standard model and in several variants of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), reported recently by us. These theories are characterized by a single phase in the quark flavour mixing matrix and give rise to well-defined contributions in the flavour-changing-neutral-current transitions in K and B decays. We analyse the supersymmetric contributions to the mass differences in the Bd-Bd(bar) and Bs-Bs(bar) systems, $\Delta M_d$ and $\Delta M_s$, respectively, and to the CP-violating quantity $|epsilon|$ in K decays. Our analysis shows that the predicted ranges of $\beta$ in the standard model and in MSSM models are very similar. However, precise measurements at B-factories and hadron machines may be able to distinguish these theories in terms of the other two CP-violating phases $\alpha$ and $\gamma$.
