Download or read book Sourcing Strategy written by Sudhi Seshadri and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-12-05 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sourcing Strategy is about sourcing as a long term strategic activity. Myopic purchasing management stops short with describing functional procedures and procedural innovations such as online order processing. The goal of this book is not merely to document sourcing strategy, but to provide the tools to determine it. Therefore, rather than merely describe common sourcing processes, the book takes a normative approach to sourcing strategy. It argues for a rational, complete and integrated process view. It supports its recommendations with logical arguments from an interdisciplinary and analytical approach grounded in microeconomics, law and business strategy. Part 1 of the book explains the economic and business principles that underlie sourcing strategies. It derives policies that guide viable strategies to meet sourcing goals. Part 2 applies these to creative designs for standard sourcing scenarios.

Download or read book The Visual Food Encyclopedia written by François Fortin and published by . This book was released on 1996-10-15 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Visual Food Encyclopedia What does a tree tomato look like? What's the difference between a turnip and a rutabaga? Where does malanga come from? How do you trim an artichoke bottom? The Visual Food Encyclopedia answers all these food questions—and thousands more. The Visual Food Encyclopedia is the cook's companion in the market and the kitchen, illustrating and explaining everything other cookbooks assume you already know. It takes you by the hand and, with a no-nonsense approach, tells you how to look for freshness, when to buy each ingredient at its peak, how to store it once you get it home, and the best methods of preparation and cooking. This extensive guide covers more than 1,000 ingredients, including: 70 different kinds of vegetables 63 varieties of fruits 37 types of meat 62 species of fish 34 different cereals and grains 47 herbs, spices, and condiments 30 kinds of cheese and milk products Varieties of nuts and seeds, mushrooms, seaweed, sugars, fats and oils, and coffee and tea. In large part, the explaining is done with pictures, over 1,200 of them. The state-of-the-art computer images are so clear and richly colored, you'll want to eat the food right off the page. And because you just have to see how some things are done, like cutting a chicken into serving pieces, basic tecniques are clearly illustrated with original step-by-step photographs. This unique book doesn't ignore health concerns either. All the entries include nutritional highlights. A glossary of terms along with a comprehensive index of the technical and most commonly known names for each entry are provided at the end of the book. Plus, while this is an encyclopedia, not a cookbook, serving ideas and traditional recipes using selected ingredients are featured. From the novice cook to the experienced chef, there are timeless lessons to be learned from The Visual Food Encyclopedia.

Download or read book Knowledge Graphs written by Dieter Fensel and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-31 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes methods and tools that empower information providers to build and maintain knowledge graphs, including those for manual, semi-automatic, and automatic construction; implementation; and validation and verification of semantic annotations and their integration into knowledge graphs. It also presents lifecycle-based approaches for semi-automatic and automatic curation of these graphs, such as approaches for assessment, error correction, and enrichment of knowledge graphs with other static and dynamic resources. Chapter 1 defines knowledge graphs, focusing on the impact of various approaches rather than mathematical precision. Chapter 2 details how knowledge graphs are built, implemented, maintained, and deployed. Chapter 3 then introduces relevant application layers that can be built on top of such knowledge graphs, and explains how inference can be used to define views on such graphs, making it a useful resource for open and service-oriented dialog systems. Chapter 4 discusses applications of knowledge graph technologies for e-tourism and use cases for other verticals. Lastly, Chapter 5 provides a summary and sketches directions for future work. The additional appendix introduces an abstract syntax and semantics for domain specifications that are used to adapt schema.org to specific domains and tasks. To illustrate the practical use of the approaches presented, the book discusses several pilots with a focus on conversational interfaces, describing how to exploit knowledge graphs for e-marketing and e-commerce. It is intended for advanced professionals and researchers requiring a brief introduction to knowledge graphs and their implementation.

Download or read book The Purchasing Handbook written by Harold E. Fearon and published by McGraw-Hill Companies. This book was released on 1993 with total page 936 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook is a complete and authoritative source of practical information on all aspects of purchasing management. This new edition is the first revision of this classic handbook since 1982, a decade in which many important developments have taken place in business, the economy, and the field of purchasing. Once again developed under the auspices of the National Association of Purchasing Management, Aljian brings the entire field up to date. A special emphasis of this new edition is the coverage given to purchasing policies and procedures in a service economy and in service industries. Previous emphasis in the handbook was on manufacturing-related purchasing issues. Aljian provides up-to-date guidance on all aspects of the general purchasing process from purchasing department through contracts, pricing and negotiation and beyond, to such subjects as purchasing strategy and evaluating purchasing performance. In addition, the handbook also zeros-in on specific subject areas and specific industries, covering in detail global sourcing, raw materials, health care, government purchasing, and other specific subject areas. Targeted coverage is provided on other "special interest" subjects such as materials management, just-in-time, legal aspects of purchasing, scrap and other topics of interest to purchasing managers and corporate departments with which they interrelate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Understanding the Older Consumer, Barrie Gunter provides a detailed examination of the demographic, behavioural and psychological profiles of the older consumer. He shows that without the responsibilities of loans and child raising and with better financial provision than in previous years, the over-50s represent a powerful spending force. In order to reach this group, Barrie Gunter shows how to target advertising and respond to the changes that have occurred. Understanding the Older Consumer provides a wealth of information on older people's lifestyles and leisure, their interest in the mass media, their perceptions of advertising and their shopping.
