About this ebook
The PROCUREMENT AND SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT 9th Edition By Arjan J. van Weele, topics covered
The 9th Edition of Procurement and Supply Chain Management by Arjan J. van Weele and Frank Rozemeijer (published by Cengage Learning) is restructured to focus on future-facing professional capabilities. It bridges classic operational workflows with macro-trends like digital transformation, heightened risk, and global sustainability pressures. [1]
The textbook maps out its core topics across three primary segments: [1]
Section I: Introduction and Core Concepts
This foundational section establishes the tactical steps, buyer behaviors, and fundamental structures of modern organizational purchasing. [1, 2]
- Introducing Procurement: The scope, historical evolution, and tactical-to-strategic shift of the purchasing function.
- The Procurement Process: Explaining the linear progression of purchasing management activities (specification, selection, contracting, ordering, and expediting).
- Procurement as a Business Function: Mapping how buying coordinates value inside the corporate infrastructure.
- Sourcing Business Services: Managing non-product expenditures like facility management, consulting, and operational services.
- Contracting and Contract Management: Dealing with legal safeguards, SLAs, and managing complex long-term project deliverables.
- Public Procurement: Assessing rules, compliance, and specific structural distinctions within public-sector buying. [1, 2, 3]
Section II: Processes, Strategy, and Planning
This section addresses how procurement aligns internally with corporate goals and externally with market dynamics. [1, 2]
- Outsourcing and Risk Management: Navigating the make-or-buy decision matrix, supply chain vulnerabilities, and geopolitical or economic risks. [1, 2]
- Category Sourcing: Implementing tactical sourcing models (such as the Kraljic purchasing portfolio, spend cube analysis, and market research) to form effective category strategies. [1, 2]
- Purchasing and Business Strategy: Aligning long-term cross-functional supply goals directly with broader competitive business strategies. [1, 2]
- Organizing Procurement: Designing the target operating models, reporting hierarchies, and centralized vs. decentralized procurement structures. [1, 2]
Section III: Interfaces and Emerging Special Topics
The final phase targets external collaboration networks, technology integration, and modern ethical mandates. [1]
- Procurement and Supply Chain Management: Integrating upstream suppliers with logistics and wider demand-network interfaces.
- Supplier Relationship Management (SRM): Managing buyer-supplier relationship governance, evaluation protocols, and ongoing supplier development.
- Innovation Sourcing: Co-developing intellectual property, sourcing new technologies, and managing quality through early supplier involvement.
- Procurement with Purpose: Highlighting the critical 9th-edition focus on corporate social responsibility (CSR), green supply chains, and driving sustainability within supplier partnerships.
- Procurement Systems and Performance Measurement: Leveraging digital transformation tools (e-procurement dashboards) alongside corporate governance and KPI metrics. [1, 2, 3, 4]
