    The Sourcing Solution

     
    Achieve sourcing and purchasing success.
    2/23/2004
    The globalization of consumers and suppliers presents a challenge to procurement managers as they pursue the best purchasing strategies for their facilities. Throw in the impact of constantly advancing technologies, and the world of purchasing becomes even more complicated. Whether you are a purchasing manager, a recently promoted buyer, or an executive with a role in acquisitions, the information presented here can help you face the issues, develop strategies, and navigate the challenges of the materials management world. Author Paquette arms readers with ideas and how-tos for developing sourcing solutions by contracting, negotiating, partnering, and managing vendors. Mindful of ethics along the way, Paquette also emphasizes the importance of being attentive to the future direction of your companies' purchasing programs.
