A propos du livre

Book Description :

PURCHASING is the culmination of a multitude of discussions with procurement managers in different industries. The authors have synthesized these experiences into a truly unique book that focuses on the managerial side of the core tasks and challenges required to effectively manage the purchasing function, employing the strategic perspective. Although other books have dealt with the many components of buying materials, PURCHASING identifies the contributions that purchasing makes to corporate and business strategies through the development of integrated procurement and sourcing strategies. This state-of-the-art approach makes this book a must-read for anyone working or interested in purchasing.
