Book Description

In today's competitive business climate, companies with effective procurement strategies are beginning to separate themselves from the competition. Successful purchase order management (POM) is now a critical core competency and organizations in all industries have started investigating tools and techniques to help them succeed.

Purchase Order Management Best Practices brings together the field's latest advances and gives business professionals a comprehensive framework for lowering costs, improving efficiency, eliminating non-value added activities, and optimizing the transformation program for the POM process. It offers practical, proven tactics and detailed guidance into every aspect of POM process redesign: mapping the existing process, intelligently leveraging new technologies, building a strategy for strengthening the relationship with suppliers, identifying comprehensive related metrics, and industry success stories and lessons learned.

Although POM process transformation is a hot topic, there is not a single book that focuses on the recipe of success for a POM transformation program. This text fills the gap by providing a breakthrough start-to-finish roadmap for organizations to implement the POM transformation program successfully.

Very helpful.......2007-07-03

I recently worked with a client who had purchase order management problems. Implementation of the new purchase order management procedures were extremely difficult. The third part of the book on Change Management (written by Beitler, the change management expert) was very helpful.

I like how these three experts, Sabri (process), Gupta (technology) , and Beitler (change management), collaborated to produce such a valuable reference guide for purchase order management. They talk about state-of-the-art techniques, being used at real-world companies, in an easy-to-read style.

Should Be Required Reading.......2006-12-27

This book should be required reading for anybody interested in supply chain management. An organization's purchase order managemnent system must reflect serious consideration of the "process, technology, and change mangement" issues that are discussed by Sabri, Gupta, and Beitler.

"POM Best Practices" offers advice that new and seasoned purchase order managements can apply immediately. I wish this type of book had been available 20 years ago when I got started.

A true short hand about Quality in processes.......2005-08-27

Writting this book some 17 years ago, the author makes great advice to managers and decision makers in companies (States and around the globe) using Japan's then success in manufacturing quality products.

The author uses his solid background in statistical science to allert readers about the importance of statistics to businesses and companies.

I regard the recommendations (while a touch vague and, now, slipping out of date) as valid for today's era; companies' directors from evolving countries will have an insight reading the book written in easy language, and will also learn about how quality should be viewed.

Finally, I recommend it as a pre-reading to anyone who is about to study an optimization or robust design/quality engineering course at a post graduate level: It will make the academic context look simpler and easier to grasp on.

Book Description

Tracing the monetary history of Europe, this study explores the impact of change in the availability and use of bullion, in the form of money, on the economic evolution of Europe. The Romans fostered economic prosperity through the accumulation of bullion and circulation of accredited currency. Over time, shortages of species rendered the Roman coinage worthless. As a result, commercial activities contracted, causing the breakdown of the Roman economic and political systems. Lack of liquidity in the early Middle Ages limited commercial activities, and promoted conditions sustaining dependency on land, thereby enabling feudalism to flourish. In the late 10th century, discovery of rich silver mines in Central Europe increased the circulation of coinage, promoting trade and demographic urbanization. The augmentation of silver resources continued to boost economic prosperity during the 12th and 13th centuries. In the 14th century, decrease in mine output induced severe scarcity of bullion. Lack of currency caused the contraction of economic activities, leading to food shortages, famines, depopulation, and the eventual breakdown of the feudal economic order. Continuous shortage of bullion in the 15th century forced the reintroduction of barter trade and limited commercial activities. Scarcity of precious metals induced the Portuguese to venture into Africa. African gold provided them with the incentive and capital for expeditions of discovery to the East, but the lack of sufficient bullion prevented them from monopolizing the eastern trade. In the 16th century the influx of species from the mines of central Europe and America ended the European bullion famine and gave rise to economic prosperity.

The title of this book is misleading!.......2005-07-29

This book should not be titled "Fun in the Workplace" it should be titled "Giving presentations". There is nothing in this book that even registers on the fun scale.

It is not worth the $13.59 that I spent on buying and shipping.

Book Description

Unlike the papers of some other great economists, those of Kenneth Arrow are being read and studied today with even greater care and attention than when they first appeared in the journals. The publication of his collected papers will therefore be welcomed by economists and other social scientists and in particular by graduate students, who can draw from them the deep knowledge and the discernment in selection of scientific problems that only a master can offer. The author has added headnotes to certain well-known papers, describing how he came to write them.

Book Description

Uncertainty plays an important role in marketing decisions such as pricing, promotion, advertising and salesforce management. While there have been significant progresses made in ing marketing behaviors in a stochastic environment, the work is scattered among different sources and focuses mostly on analysis of separate components of the marketing mix. Marketing Decisions Under Uncertainty aims to address key marketing decisions under stochastic conditions in a unified framework within which potential interactions among the firm's marketing efforts may take place. The book begins with static, stochastic formulations of individual marketing decisions for single-product, competitive firms. While formal results are presented and analyzed, empirical, managerial and strategic implications are emphasized throughout the book.
