A structured introduction to purchasing and supply management

Philip M. Price’s book maps purchasing from day-to-day decisions—quantity, quality, timing, place, and price—to broader concerns such as supplier selection, negotiation, contracts, global purchasing, and business strategy. Its chapter-by-chapter organization connects operational choices with the people and processes involved in procurement, while case exercises provide material for applying the topics. The scope makes it a practical entry point into the field and a reference across both foundational concepts and workplace considerations.

  • Students in college, community college, or high school business courses
