A brilliant textbook for every current and future purchasing professional; this works extremely well for university students as well as for professionals in the field of purchasing management. I have used the earlier editions with hundreds of students and professionals with powerful results and nice learning experiences. - Sanna Nieminen
This is a must for all scholars and researchers, alongside being 'the' reference book for practitioners at all levels. The text provides invaluable information with clarity and structure. The presentation of knowledge and expertise is supported in a logical manner by strong case material that is both relevant and interesting. The material builds on historical landmarks in this subject area and should be the cornerstone for all students and practitioners of purchasing methodologies or procurement practices; it is the first book I suggest to all of our students and my peers. - Philip Foster
