Purchasing and supply management Edition: 8

There is a growing awareness in the global business and supply chain environment of the importance of managing the supply side, also referred to as the input side, of business processes as a strategically important area. South African business and supply chain managers are certainly also aware of the strategic competitive advan­tage in an increasingly difficult and competitive business environment, especially post-pandemic. This eighth edition of Purchasing and supply management provides contemporary insights into this dynamic field of business management. The stan­dard foundational purchasing and supply management text from the previous edition has been retained but with a focus on strategic and contemporary issues.
