How many business leaders see procurement or supplier management as key disciplines? Manufacturers excluded, the answer is very few. And yet most organizations now spend more with their suppliers than they do on employing their staff.
This book highlights the strategic value of procurement, stressing the "why" and "what" over the "how." It explains to company leaders the importance of managing relationships with suppliers. Moreover, it explains why they should focus their efforts on this previously neglected area of business -- an area of rich rewards, where P&L impact is relatively painless and immediate, and where benefit to cost ratios of 10 to 1 are realistic ambitions and in-year payback is possible.
