Emancipation of Purchasing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Purchasing Power: Your Suppliers, Your Profits (Textbook Binding)
If you ever thought that purchasing was dull and that purchasing professionals had an equally boring task, then think again. All organisations are equal in one respect. Each one buys something, adds value to that which it has bought and then sells it on - hopefully with a profit. Most companies focus their activity on the cost of adding value and the sale of the finished product. Most focus only a small portion of their resources on what, where and how to obtain those goods on which they rely. Purchasing Power demonstrates the value of purchasing as a core business process and hands the reader the key to increased profitability.
