There is a growing awareness in the global business environment of
the importance of managing the supply side, also referred to as the
input side, of an organisation or supply chain as a strategically
important area. South African managers are certainly also aware of
the potential of the supply side to contribute to strategic
competitive advantage in an increasingly difficult and competitive
business environment. This seventh edition of Purchasing and supply
management provides contemporary insights into this dynamic field.
Purchasing and supply management introduces current concepts and
management tools to make purchasing and supply management more
efficient in functioning within the broader concept of supply chain
management. It covers not only basic principles, but also the
activities incumbent on a purchasing and supply manager. It
addresses the relationships between purchasing and concepts such as
strategic sourcing, and areas of application. This new edition has
been comprehensively updated and includes case studies and multiple
choice questions. It is student friendly, while at the same time
remaining a valuable aid to the purchasing fraternity in South
African business. Some of the more prominent topics that are
included in this edition are the following: Purchasing and supply
policies and strategies; Purchasing price determination and cost
analysis; Evaluation and selection of suppliers; The management of
quality; Sustainability in purchasing and supply; Supplier
development; Electronic commerce and electronic procurement
applications Purchasing and supply management is aimed at students
in this field as well as practitioners in business. The editors of
this standard South African text, Prof. Hannie Badenhorst-Weiss, Dr
Orpha Cilliers, Ms Winnie Dlamini and Prof. Marcus Ambe, obtained
valuable contributions from authors from a number of institutions.
