WINNER: ACA-Bruel 2015 - Grand Prix Businesses are going through
rapid change due to an increased focus on sustainability and
corporate responsibility, technological advances, geo-political and
macro-economic change, and demographic shifts. If purchasing and
supply chain managers are to embrace these challenges they must
develop new ways of thinking about supply structures and processes
as well as new skills and competencies. The Procurement Value
Proposition examines these important changes that will have a
profound effect on the way future procurement is carried out. It
considers the implications of global economic transformation for
procurement set against: changes in business contexts, purchasing
strategies, organisational structure, roles and responsibilities,
system development and skills required to work in the profession.
This book discusses the value proposition offered by contemporary
procurement to the sustainability and development of business. They
examine how organizations that position procurement as a core
business function will be able to drive a more competitive lever
for change, and more readily adapt to the forces driving rapid
change in the current global environment. The Procurement Value
Proposition features case studies of companies that are moving
through procurement transformation in a continual phase of movement
and adaption to the multitude of shifts that are occurring. It
features input, observations and case studies from CPO's,
Commercial Directors and other Procurement and business leaders.
The book considers a variety of geographical contexts and
highlights differences between the US, the UK and China. Awarded
the Grand Prix ACA-Bruel for its important contributions to the
research and practice in procurement and supply chain management,
it has been recognized for its ambitious vision of procurement.
