Features: Procurement is a fundamental activity that all organizations must implement. For businesses, procurement has long been considered a direct source of corporate benefits. In recent years, procurement management has evolved from general procurement techniques and supplier selection to supplier management and procurement management within the supply chain. This book explores the inheritance and development relationship between traditional procurement and supply chain management, paying close attention to the connection between the two in its content arrangement. Chapters 2 to 6 focus on traditional procurement management, while Chapters 7 to 15 emphasize supply chain procurement. To meet the needs of classroom teaching in relevant disciplines, each chapter includes thought-provoking questions. Additionally, the book incorporates several case studies from internationally renowned large enterprises on procurement and supply chain management to enhance interactive teaching effectiveness.
