Features: In today's era, the market is volatile and highly competitive. A company's competitiveness in the market is more reflected in its cost efficiency and responsiveness to final demand. From the experience of Handan Iron and Steel to the experience of Yaxing, an increasing number of enterprises are extending their focus on internal management reform to the supply of goods. From Sinopec's implementation of online procurement to Lenovo forming a strategic alliance with the six major liquid crystal companies, more and more enterprises have incorporated supply management as a crucial strategic task. As the market economy develops and matures, supply management is not only a prerequisite for organizing production but also an important source for reducing costs and achieving profits. This "latecomer advantage" will be recognized by an increasing number of people. This book begins with the basic concepts and theories of supply management, drawing on advanced supply management concepts, models, and methods from abroad. It employs both qualitative and quantitative analysis to plan, manage, and oversee the entire process of supply work in production enterprises, including procurement, storage, and material supply, covering areas such as planning, personnel, financial, information, and risk management. Specific discussions are provided on hot topics such as supply strategy, supplier management, tendering and procurement, online procurement, centralized procurement, supply chain management, and procurement contracts under the new Contract Law. The book aims to be structured rigorously yet accessible, with cases and reflection questions at the end of each chapter. It can serve as a specialized textbook for logistics management and business administration majors at the undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as a reference for corporate supply or procurement personnel, government and public institutions' procurement managers, and others interested in the field.
