Category Management is a technique used to understand markets, analyse spend and make purchasing decisions which save money. It is about a pathway from accepting mediocre goods and services at high cost, to effective supply management which delivers real value.

Using case studies and practical examples the book provides a clear definition and understanding of category management. The author presents a step by step process for its implementation and use, which company s can readily apply in line with their overall business strategy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Strategic, tactical , operational, 23 Aug 2009
By Jacek Klimek "Jacek Klimek" (Warsaw, Poland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is an outstanding exception among lots of books concerning purchasing and procurement. It can organize and structure your thoughts about this topic and give you the whole overview how to think strategically , plan tactically and how to convert ideas into action. Many management tools from project management are well adapted to purchasing management giving you clear advices how to position your suppliers, you toward your suppliers and how to improve your position to be better leveraged and exploit all advantageous you potentially could have.
Highly recommended for all manufacturer and retail buyers.
