Purchasing and Supply Management includes the latest management, procurement, and negotiation techniques and the authors have taken great care to integrate the impact of global commerce on the buyers job. Historically, purchasing evolved as a weak part of manufacturing, gained its independence, and expanded to a financial contributer to a company's success. A major challenge of the buying job is to manage supply management. To do this, the buyer must know and use the full range of techniques and procedures available to the true professional. This book is dedicated to these functions of supply and all they entail.

Editorial Reviews

Review

`this book provides a very good overview of purchasing which would be of use to both academics and purchasing executives alike. I feel it is worth having this book on your library shelf as a general guide and reference point to purchasing.'
International Journal for Production Research, 37:12 (1999)
