Reviews
This is a very well-written book that covers all topics of spend analysis in sufficient detail. Both practitioners and academicians will find the topics interesting and educational. The authors have positioned spend analysis within the overall context of a supply management program, and made a compelling case for why it is important to implement a robust spend analysis program as a strong foundation for strategic sourcing. -Jay Reddy, Former CEO of MindFlow Technology
