Ed in Procurement: A Modest Proposal for Re-Inflating the World

ED IN PROCUREMENT is a book about corporate buying behavior. It tells the story of a company that loses sight of the concepts of efficiency and quality, straying into the realm of sluggish, corporate mediocrity. This story has become all too common in these days of globalization and the relentless focus on cost controls. It may even be true of the company you work for... "ED" is a common sense appeal to corporations to rethink their cost-centric trajectories and get back to a results oriented approach to achieving their bottom line. This business fable will resonate with executives in the board room, managers on the line, and workers who have to live the results of decisions that have gone bad. Read this book and you may gain some perspective on what is happening – and language to discuss changes which could reinvigorate your organization.
