What is Purchasing and Supply Management?
I could find you a definition from a dictionary, a text book or a theorist, or I could describe what good purchasing and supply management practitioners really do. Procurement practitioners shape the profession through their skills, knowledge and attitude, and these are the principal factors for successful businesses. After all, money, land and buildings don’t have feelings, or contacts or networks or know-how or rights; people do and those facts have consequences on how organisations operate.
