In this revised edition, the new title reflects the fact that purchasing is a field in transition: in most industries, it is evolving into purchasing and supply management. New topics covered include TQM, partnering and strategic alliances, and more on JIT purchasing and outsourcing developments. There is a greater emphasis on purchasing's role in achieving and maintaining product quality. Chapter Seven - on purchasing's role in new product development - has been rewritten, and there is an entirely new chapter on ethics.
