Download or read book The Role of Procurement Professionals in Industrial Projects written by Mario Büsch and published by Akademische Verlagsgemeinschaft München. This book was released on 2014-04-23 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This doctoral-thesis deals with the role of procurement professionals in industrial projects. The role of procurement in industrial manufacturing has attracted considerable attention over the last several years; however, the role of procurement in projects is rather underresearched. From a project management point of view, procurement is mainly considered a transactional task, and remarkably few project management standards consider procurement at all. To overcome this gap, a Procurement Project Involvement Matrix has been developed. Building on this matrix, a Project Procurement Organisation Model for procurement experts involved into industrial projects was developed, too. In general, the project procurement job tasks framework as well as the Project Procurement Organisation Model will help to implement, improve and audit the involvement level of procurement in projects.
Download or read book The Ultimate Route to Market written by Ian Shanahan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-20 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global systems integrators, outsourcers and consulting firms are responsible for directly leveraging or influencing most IT investment in large corporations. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), software companies and other technology providers aspire to create mutually successful partnerships with the large influencers due to their ‘business case’ driven approach, their early stage engagement in the sales cycle, their C-Suite relationships with large multi-national enterprises, and the often-giant scale of the typical technology spend that their projects and engagements drive. The projects that these companies deliver are specialist and complex, meaning that companies who aspire to work successfully in the sector require skill, knowledge and a sophisticated alliance approach to gain credibility and maintain long term sustainable relationships. The Ultimate Route to Market provides an insight into the practices, construct and culture of global consulting firms, systems integrators and outsourcers and provides a suggested framework for a successful alliance with them. Here, Ian Shanahan provides organisations with an overview of the global systems integrator, outsourcer and consulting firm sectors, provides insight into their culture and expertly explains alliance best practice methodology. This is a must read for anyone that aspires to understand the market, how it works and how they become desirable to the large IT services companies, so that they can execute alliance engagements to the sector in a measured, methodical and low risk way.
