Dr. Tom DePaoli and Amazon.com announce the book Common Sense Purchasing
Common Sense Purchasing is a no-holds-barred practical guide to purchasing, relationships and
negotiations success. If you don't like consultants, buzzwords and theory, then
this non-traditional book is meant for you. Straight forward and to the point,
this book will be difficult to put down until you have finished the supply
chain journey. Dr. Tom DePaoli, a veteran purchasing pro, learned his purchasing
lessons the hard way and wants to share his valuable insights for purchasing
people and all business professionals.
Common
Sense Purchasing reveals
the real life lessons learned from a purchasing professional who has seen every
purchasing job level from junior buyer to vice president. Purchasing is the art
of relationships and trust building that requires deft handling. Dr. Tom
DePaoli has led numerous efforts to re-engineer purchasing and has successfully
negotiated international supply agreements. He provides poignant insights into what
really works in purchasing and separates the theory that doesn’t work from the practical
aspects that were very successful in his career. Dr. Tom uses many of his
original sayings and hard knock lessons to help purchasing professionals get it
right.
“Purchasing is the
art of building relationships. It is not about negotiations, transactions,
industry knowledge, market knowledge, know-how or technology. It is all about
building strong relationships and gaining the trust of suppliers, customers,
and colleagues. Nothing else even comes close in importance for successful
purchasing as does the creation of strong relationships.” - Dr.
Tom
