N2  -  "Dr Brian Farrington is the author of the tenth edition of this accl aimed book. The output of any book is influenced by many sources, inclu ding: - professional feedback from lecturers at Universities and Colleg es; their views are invaluable - the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply's education syllabus and the Institute's continual quest to enhance standards - legal challenges to procurement decisions - emphas is on environmental and socially responsible procurement - feedback fro m learners and practitioners - the author's international consultancy e xperience - the recognition that a procurement specialist has to exerci se the highest moral and ethical standards and that some fall short - t he challenge presented by cyber security. There are two new chapters, t hanks to the foresight of Pearson. Public Sector Procurement is a new c hapter, recognising the public sector's impact on the global economy. P ublic accountability means that scrutiny of decisions is far more open than the private sector. Sustainability & Socially Responsible Procurem ent is a new chapter, recognising that this is a highly challenging glo bal issue wherein procurement has great influence. More initiatives are necessary. There has been a serious recasting of much of the content. There is an unrivalled opportunity for procurement specialists to manag e risk, finance and corporate performance. The author seeks to instil i n all procurement specialists the fact that effective and innovative pr ocurement pays a significant part in the management of economies and co rporate performance.
