By Staff -- Purchasing, 7/15/1999
Competitive advantage might be the Holy Grail of business in the 1990s. And growing numbers of top U.S. business executives are betting that supply chain management is the map that will lead them to this elusive treasure."Whether purchasing professional play a significant role in supply chain strategies depends to a large extent on how well those in the function understand its implications and articulate them at the highest corporate levels," says James P. Morgan, Purchasing Magazine's editorial director emeritus.
That's why Purchasing has published in one volume a series of stories co-written over the past six years by Morgan and Dr. Robert M. Monczka, Professor of Strategic Sourcing Management and the National Association of Purchasing Management professor at the Eli Broad Graduate School of Management at Michigan State University.
