Overview

With the global market on the rise and predicted to expand throughout the nineties, purchasers are focusing more and more of their attention away from domestic concerns to the international market. The international market presents not only enhanced chances for profit, it also presents risks and challenges that are totally unfamiliar to even the most experienced domestic purchaser. The author has written this book to educate students and professionals on the art of global purchasing. From starting a global purchasing programme to future buying prospects in global trade, this book covers all of the information necessary to tap into the world market. This book should be of interest to graduate and undergraduates of business management, traffic and logistics management, as well as professional buyers, purchasing, materials, logistics and traffic managers and importers.
