Corporate Planning and Procurement in Multinational Firms

Abstract

In Chapter One it was argued that multinational companies should give adequate emphasis to procurement factors in their corporate planning. While this argument is difficult to refute, many multinational companies do not pay sufficient attention to this aspect of their planning. This article presents some of the conclusions from a study which investigated the extent to which procurement factors were considered in the planning of these firms.
