Overview
About the course
Rapid changes in business practices, increased globalisation, changing trade laws, new technologies and increased expectations by top management are forcing purchasing professionals to take a more proactive approach in the ways purchasing functions and responsibilities are being managed.
Purchasing professionals are now expected to be agile, more informed and able to develop proactive supply management strategies that are aligned with organisation’s competitive objectives.
