"Companies of all sizes are seeking to transform their procurement and supplier relationship management processes: activities that have a tremendous upside potential for improved supply chain effectiveness and efficiency. Now, two leading consultants and researchers offer a comprehensive approach to creating customer value through strategic sourcing and procurement. Unlike texts focused primarily on day-to-day operations and tactics, Delivering Customer Value through Procurement and Strategic Sourcing focuses on helping senior executives and managers gain sustainable competitive advantage from their supply chains."--Publisher's website.
