About this title

Review:

"...a super book...anyone working or researching in purchasing could benefit from reading it." ( Journal of Purchasing and Supply Management, March 2004)

"This is a welcome book for purchasing academics..." (Supply Management, 1 November 2001)

From the Back Cover:

How companies activate relationships with suppliers has a huge impact on them becoming more efficient and innovative. This new edition of Supply Network Strategies has been substantially revised. Although the basic, three–part structure remains the same, the first and third parts have undergone considerable changes. In part one, Challenges, the authors relate to the situation of two specific companies and explore the challenges they face in purchasing functions today; in part two, Analysis, the analysis of purchasing from an industrial network perspective appears revised and updated; and part three, Strategy, discusses potential strategies for dealing with these challenges.

Features:

• A thoroughly revised and updated book on purchasing to develop the supply network.
• A wealth of new empirical illustrations and cases in order to relate directly to purchasing in practice.
• Adoption of the industrial network approach developed through the research of the IMP (Industrial Marketing and Purchasing) Group.

Supply Network Strategies has been written for students taking courses in purchasing, business networks, and supply chain management on advanced undergraduate and masters level courses. This new edition will also be of great interest to the thinking professional working in purchasing.
