Description: Profit from the Source : Transforming Your Business by Putting Suppliers at the Core, Hardcover by Schuh, Christian; Schnellbacher, Wolfgang; Triplat, Alenka; Weise, Daniel, ISBN 1647821398, ISBN-13 9781647821395, Brand New, Free shipping in the US "In most companies, procurement is an unglamorous, unloved part of the business.

No connection to innovation or strategy or creating positive value. Not so fast. As Boston Consulting Group thought leaders Christian Schuh, Wolfgang Schnellbacher, Alenka Triplat, and Daniel Weise explain in Profit from the Source, procurement should be regarded in a new light, because it has the potential to be a CEO's secret weapon in these fast-moving, disruptive times.
