Purchasing and Supply Chain Management

This has been my favorite textbook so far in my supply chain management classes. It's a weighty tome, but it delivers with all of its inserts and examples of business cases being very relevant and interesting to read. It is a deep dive into purchasing and procurement, and has helpful, useful, and best of all, specific methods for things like choosing suppliers, maintaining supplier relationship, and worldwide sourcing. It can be a little wordy on things like cross-functional teams, but there are shorter chapters on things like law and ethics, and negotiation that help round out the text.

Purchasing and Supply Chain Management is an excellent textbook and the company selling it provided an excellent copy in outstanding condition and on time.

I have the textbook for a college class. The textbook as written is great. The Kindle format is not user friendly. I bought it to be able to read the book anywhere, on my phone or iPad using the Kindle app. However, I can’t adjust the page format so I can’t read the book on my phone. Although I can read it on the iPad, it’s still not easy to manipulate. If ease of reading is important, I recommend purchasing the hard copy.
