Purchasing and outsourcing has become a key result area for a competitive organisation. There is an increasing trend with organisations to remain focussed on their core strengths while outsourcing non-core areas. This led to increase in the volume of purchase of goods and services as a proportion of revenue in all organisations. This highlights the importance of purchasing in the overall performance of the organisation. Further, increased globalisation provides an organisation many opportunities of sourcing from low cost countries. Global sourcing of input materials and services increases business complexity thus emphasising the strategic role of the purchasing and outsourcing. Increased complexity and globalisation made the job of managing purchases and outsourcing a challenging task. This programme aims at developing an understanding of the complexity and the dynamics involved in managing the purchasing and outsourcing function.
