Buying For Business provides a simple but comprehensive guide to
purchasing and supply. With current literature often academic in focus
and unsuited to modern business readers, it offers straightforward and
engaging information on the principles and practice of purchasing and
supply management that will be of great value to anyone in business who
deals with suppliers. Experts Mark Whitehead and Christopher Barrat
answer all the key questions facing purchasing in business today, and
offer advice on everything from ethics to outsourcing. Diagrams,
analysis tools and pro-formas aid understanding, while case studies and
bench-marking exercises illustrate and reinforce the learning.
