The section is peppered with visions from several executives, including Theresa Metty, former senior vice president and chief procurement officer at Motorola Inc.
"Supply management will sit on the most senior strategic decision-making boards in successful companies," says Metty.

Practical advice on strategic sourcing, supply chain self-measurement, developing supply chain skills and talent, negotiations, raw material and commodity supply management and purchasing services are detailed and supported by charts, checklists and conclusions.
