Features: Since the introduction of the government procurement system in China at the end of the 1990s, the government procurement system has attracted significant attention from the academic community. This book is set against the backdrop of the promulgation and implementation of China's "Government Procurement Law." It discusses the basic theories of government procurement and explores the practice and existing issues of the government procurement system in China. As China committed to joining the WTO when it became a member, the Chinese government has expressed its intention to join the WTO "Government Procurement Agreement." Therefore, this book provides a detailed introduction to the main contents of the "Government Procurement Agreement" and examines China's strategies for joining the "Agreement." The book is contributed by experts and professors from higher education institutions as well as professionals from practical fields. Procurement management is not just theoretical—it is explored and experience is accumulated through practice. This book strives to integrate theoretical and practical aspects, collecting typical cases from actual procurement work for analysis and reference. It serves as a comprehensive guide on modern procurement management theory, rules, processes, and practices for various procurement entities. It can be used as a textbook for graduate students and MBA students in economics and management, as well as a reference for middle-to-high-level business managers and government procurement personnel.
