PRINCIPLES OF GOVERNMENT PURCHASING CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION On its technical side the problem of government purchasing involves the same essential elements as does purchasing for a private business. In governments, as in private business, there exists the necessity for expert handling of all the elements of the supply problem and of complete coordination of effort between the purchasing agent and all other responsible officials having to do with the supply problem. Compared with the purchasing problem of many of our large industrial corporations the government purchasing problem is a simple one. Government business is routine to a large extent, making it easily possible with adequate organization and procedure to plan the entire supply problem considerably in advance of immediate requirements. Changes in plan need not be precipitately made to meet competitive conditions, and hence there is little danger of overinvestment and surplusage. The course of government business is, as a rule, placid in comparison with the urgent necessities of a railroad or of a busy industrial corporation; the problem of coordination between requirements and deliveries is, therefore, reduced to a minimum with a consequent avoidance of a large part of the urgency of follow-up to secure timely deliveries. The greater part of the items purchased to meet the needs of government business may be readily secured in the open market in quantities sufficient to meet at least temporary needs in case dealers under contract fail to meet agreements. Few articles need be made to order or purchased among a very limited number of dealers or manufacturers. A busy industrial plant, on the other hand, purchases vast numbers of articles which only a very limited number of...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Purchasing Principles and Practices The Need for Study. - There are still a few men whose opinions upon other subjects are worth considering, who apparently believe that anyone who is reasonably intelligent, can, without preparation, become a successful purchasing agent over night. I want to drive home the fact that it is just as impossible for a man without preparation so to spend money that he will best serve his firm, as it is successfully to follow any other trade or profession without preparation. It is equally impossible for the purchasing agent to continue to grow if he does not continue to study. Technique of Other Professions. - The technique of any profession or occupation might, I suppose, be so boiled down that it could be stated in very few words. In the last analysis the whole technique of the lawyer is his knowledge of the basic principles of justice, as popularly administered, coupled with the ability to find and suitably present data concerning relevant cases which have been decided in the past. The whole technique of the surgeon might be summed up as the knowledge of the human machine, its ailments and the most modern remedies for those ailments, coupled with a more or less pleasing bedside manner. The whole technique of the chemist is capable of being condensed into the knowledge of the inherent qualities of the materials he works with, under varying conditions, and the actions and reactions that may, or may not, take place under certain conditions.

Download or read book Principles of Politics Applicable to All Governments written by Benjamin Constant and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benjamin Constant (1767-1830) was born in Switzerland and became one of France's leading writers, as well as a journalist, philosopher, and politician. His colourful life included a formative stay at the University of Edinburgh; service at the court of Brunswick, Germany; election to the French Tribunate; and initial opposition and subsequent support for Napoleon, even the drafting of a constitution for the Hundred Days. Constant wrote many books, essays, and pamphlets. His deepest conviction was that reform is hugely superior to revolution, both morally and politically. While Constant's fluid, dynamic style and lofty eloquence do not always make for easy reading, his text forms a coherent whole, and in his translation Dennis O'Keeffe has focused on retaining the 'general elegance and subtle rhetoric' of the original. Sir Isaiah Berlin called Constant 'the most eloquent of all defenders of freedom and privacy' and believed to him we owe the notion of 'negative liberty', that is, what Biancamaria Fontana describes as "the protection of individual experience and choices from external interferences and constraints." To Constant it was relatively unimportant whether liberty was ultimately grounded in religion or metaphysics -- what mattered were the practical guarantees of practical freedom -- "autonomy in all those aspects of life that could cause no harm to others or to society as a whole." This translation is based on Etienne Hofmann's critical edition of Principes de politique (1980), complete with Constant's additions to the original work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Founding Fathers of the United States of America created the first free people in modern times. They wrote a new kind of Constitution which is now the oldest in existence. They built a new kind of commonwealth designed as a model for the whole human race. They believed it was thoroughly possible to create a new kind of civilization; giving freedom, equality, and justice to all. The Founders created a new cultural climate that gave wings to the human spirit. They built a free-enterprise culture to encourage industry and prosperity. They gave humanity the needed ingredients for a gigantic 5,000-year leap in which more progress has been made in the past 200 years than all of prior recorded human history. All of this came about because of 28 basic principles the Founders discovered, upon which all free nations must be built in order to succeed. This eBook includes the original index, footnotes, table of contents and page numbering from the printed format, and also new illustrations.
