Kelly Barner, editor of procurement and supply-chain blog Buyers Meeting Point, released her first book last year. She emails, “Supply Market Intelligence for Procurement Professionals: Research, Process, and Resources outlines the skills, methodology, and strategy associated with gathering and leveraging market knowledge. The book includes a directory of free and fee-for-use resources that can help researchers better engage their supply base and generate greater value from enterprise spend. My second book, Procurement at a Crossroads, will be released soon.”
