The philosophy and psychology of purchasing, purchasing principles, methods, and procedures, changes that result in cost savings, market testing, outsourcing, and insourcing, negotiation and the legal elements, e-procurement, and organizational concerns are all explained in this simple book. Numerous case studies and appendices describing the lucrative cost-cutting initiatives of several large firms provide you a practical explanation of cost-cutting and procurement choices to help you grow your business.

Foreign exchange, or forex, is the conversion of one country’s currency into another.
In a free economy, a country’s currency is valued according to the laws of supply and demand.
In other words, a currency’s value can be pegged to another country’s currency, such as the U.S. dollar, or even to a basket of currencies.
A country’s currency value may also be set by the country’s government.
However, most countries float their currencies freely against those of other countries, which keeps them in constant fluctuation.
