[Haytham Badawey · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read the 13th edition of this book, by authors Leenders, Johnson, Flynn, and Fearon. I really learned so much from this book, it's a great book because it discusses many aspects about business supply and purchasing application.

This book is a great introduction, but it does not cover intermediate or advanced topics, just the basics. After reading this book, I am now ready to develop my knowledge in supply chain management.

This book is a general approach to Purchasing and sourcing. It does have decent Case Studies that cover a broad array of topics.
