Product Description

Review

"All chapters use the same didactic instruments like learning objectives, cases, memos, assignments, etc. which are introduced to the reader through a ''guided tour''. That might be one of the reasons for the popularity of the book, as it is one of the best sellers in the area." Review from the Journal of Purchasing & Supply Management

Product Description

In an era of unprecedented turbulence and change, Arjan J. van Weele's market-leading textbook keeps you up-to-speed with the latest developments in purchasing and supply chain management theory and practice. Employing a flexible managerial perspective, "Purchasing and Supply Chain Management, 5th Edition" walks you through the core concepts, strategy, and implementation to provide the complete introduction for modern courses. Global examples from organizations including Volvo, Intel, Shell, Sony and Tesco reveal the practical challenges of today's purchasing processes, while the latest research insights add a critical perspective throughout. New chapters on services buying, socially responsible purchasing and category sourcing strategies - amongst many other wholly revised sections - reflect the latest developments, while new Integrative Cases consolidate your learning to leave you ready for purchasing in the 21st century.

College resource 10 Feb 2011
By Professor615 - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This text is a scholarly presentation of purchasing and supply chain management for the 21st century. "Arjan van Weele holds the (parttime) NEVI-Chair of Purchasing and Supply Management, at Eindhoven University of Technology, Faculty of Industrial Engineering and Innovation Sciences (IE&IS), The Netherlands." The material is thorough, excellent, and slow going for a sophomore course in logistics.

Comprehensive Book 8 Oct 2009
By Charles Benfield - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a very well written book covering a wide variety of topics yet with enough detail to be very helpful. I highly recommend it for anyone needing information about the basics of purchasing. It has been very helpful to me. I was looking for a good single source on the topic of purchasing and this is certainly it.
