 Corporate
Strategic Business Sourcing (Kevin R. Maromonte)
ISBN: 1567201148
Is your company saving money by using outside suppliers? Is outsourcing reliable? As a result, is
your company gaining a competitive edge? Or would the company do better by keeping some of the
efforts in-house? And how is the performance of outside suppliers and in-house functions measured to
facilitate effective sourcing decisions? These are questions the author, a specialist in corporate
performance improvement, tackles in this book. The answers are surprising, and the guidance
presented will have far-reaching benefits for organizations. He maintains that companies'
expectations from outsourcing are not being met, because there is not a methodical approach to
measuring and evaluating the performance of sources. By fully assessing the performance of available
sources, the best can be selected and the company can benefit long term. Succinctly and
comprehensively, Maromonte guides companies step by step through his proprietary techniques for
sourcing performance assessment and decision making. His book will be an important, useful resource
for senior management and executives, operations managers, finance, purchasing and quality
professional, and anyone with responsibility for bottom-line results.

 Purchasing
and Supply Chain Management (Robert M. Monczka, Robert B. Handfield, Robert J. Trent)
ISBN: 0324023154
Purchasing is the culmination of discussions with top purchasing executives developed through an
initiative known as the Global Procurement and Supply Chain Benchmarking Initiative at Michigan
State University.
The authors' experiences combine to create a managerial
perspective of the core tasks and challenges required to effectively manage the purchasing function.
This text is unique in that it is the first purchasing
textbook to employ a truly strategic perspective. While prior books have dealt with many components
of buying materials, the authors have sought to identify the contributions that purchasing can make
to corporate and business strategies, through the development of integrated procurement and sourcing
strategies.
The book contains twenty cases that have been developed
and used in the classroom.

ISBN: 1574442732
When you invest millions on new systems you don't want yesterday's solutions. You need a global view
of end-to-end material, information, and financial flows. Managers of today have the same concerns
managers had last year, 10 years ago, or 50 years ago: products, markets, people and skills
operations, and finance. New supply chain management processes give managers a hierarchy to the
tasks they must perform to deal with these issues.

 E-Sourcing:
The New Frontier In Outsourcing
[DOWNLOAD: PDF] by Yankee Group (Author)
ASIN: B00005TW4J
During the '90s, outsourcing dramatically altered the way enterprises of all sizes conducted
business. Large portions of organizational IT delivery infrastructure became virtual, with companies
transferring staff and assets to specialty service providers that could provide the required
functions better, faster, and cheaper. Now, as the decade ends and the new millennium begins, and
Internet enabled e-business and e-commerce are dramatically changing the way companies do business,
outsourcing jumps head first into the Internet space. The Yankee Group has devised the Enterprise
Segmentation Internet Pyramid to depict how companies are currently utilizing the Internet to
empower new e-business and e-commerce functionality. The perceived benefits of exploiting the
Internet to enable e-business and e-commerce are readily apparent to top management in most
companies. The benefits include cost-effective access to a global market of consumers, linking
suppliers globally using more efficient methods, dramatically improving customer relationship
management (CRM), and seamlessly integrating disparate computer processing within and between
companies. However, companies planning to deploy Internet-based e-business and e-commerce
applications face the enormous task of redesigning and integrating their server, network, and
application infrastructures to support on-demand, networked functionality-and most organizations
lack the internal expertise to do so. A host of external Internet-related services firms exists that
can augment internal staff and infrastructure capabilities. The Yankee Group has coined the term
"eSourcing" to represent the use of outside firms in providing any or all of the following
services to accelerate Internet capability: strategic consulting, infrastructure design,
infrastructure development and integration, and infrastructure operation. This Report segments,
positions, and identifies the various vendors with capabilities in the eSourcing arena enabling user
management to more effectively select appropriate vendor candidates for their specific
Internet-related needs.

 Fulfillment:
The Key to B2B Supply Chain Success
[DOWNLOAD: PDF] by Yankee Group (Author)
ASIN: B00005R97O
In the world of electronic business-to-business (B2B) commerce, buy-side processes have received
most of the industry's attention. For example, we've seen the rapid development of maintenance,
repair, and operating (MRO) purchasing applications, purchasing portals, and the development of both
public and private trading networks. Sell-side processes—most notably order fulfillment—have
received considerably less attention. Yet, order fulfillment is one of the most important functions
of an organization. The reasons are obvious: delivery of what a customer wants when the customer
wants it ensures good relationships, repeat business, and getting paid. However, fulfillment is
significantly more than just enhanced customer service. It is key to the success of B2B e-commerce,
and will be an integral part of the movement toward inter-enterprise integration. This Report
examines the importance of order fulfillment by looking at the overall electronic commerce supply
chain from the buy-side and sell-side perspectives, the changing competitive environment driving
order fulfillment optimization, and the elements of an end-to-end fulfillment solution.

E-Commerce Portals: The Supply Chain for the Majority
[DOWNLOAD: PDF] by Yankee Group (Author)
ASIN: B00005R97P
New business-to-business (BtoB) e-commerce portals are launching on what seems to be a daily basis,
aiming to capture a portion of the burgeoning traffic of goods, services, and information between
companies. These would-be trading networks, we believe, also have a shot at constructing the first
true electronic supply chain for companies outside of the Global 1000 and their Tier-1 suppliers.
Both public and private-subscription trading networks have the opportunity to branch out to the
small and midsized company - particularly those in the distribution chain - and into industry
verticals such as services, which today have only light automation of their business-to-business
commerce processes. In this Report, we focus on emerging trading networks and portals and their
business value to buyers and suppliers. In addition, we examine the large "supporting
cast" of technologies, software, and services that make such portals possible.
