Enhancing Procurement Practices is organised around four main
points:
-overview and analysis of procurement principles,
-practical approach to drafting of solicitation and contract
documents,
-conduct of procurement procedures,
-overview of the e-procurement arena.
Although the addressed procurement methods can be used on a wide
scale, this book concentrates primarily on such cases when the
subject of procurement is complex, or the solicited goods and
services are relatively simple but the intended long-term
relationship calls for a fairly conscious source selection. Project
procurement, the most complicated form of buying civil engineering
work, goods, and services, is thoroughly addressed.
Beyond the structured overview and comparative analysis of
terminology and principles, the book describes such new concepts as
single-source preference for simultaneous procurements, dual-term
frame contract for parallel suppliers, and the use of
semi-consolidated contract documents. Effective utilisation of
theories boils down - among others - to a consistent set of
procurement-related terms, proven methodology for drafting
comprehensive solicitation documents and contracts, and practical
details of communication with offerors.

Reliable test design is important in software testing; without it,
defects in software may remain undetected. This book presents the
key test design techniques, in line with ISTQB, and explains when
and how to use them, including in combination, with practical,
real-life examples. Automated test design methods are also
explored. Tips and exercises are included throughout the book,
allowing you to test your knowledge as you progress.
Relations among minorities and majorities, whether religious,
ethnic, cultural or other, have been a triggering factor of social
dynamics all over the world for millennia. Indeed, their relevance
has further grown in recent decades due to turbulent politics and
rapidly changing social relations. The Middle East and Asia have
traditionally been home to a vast array of religious and ethnic
groups, yet a series of both armed and ideological conflicts have
begun to re-shape their classic complex social composition.This
volume offers valuable insights into the issue of minorities in
various geographical and political settings, from the Uyghurs of
China and the modern Christian movements of India to the Romas and
Dervishes of early 20th century Iran, the Mandaeans of Mesopotamia,
and the Muslims of Western Europe.
