This text is a scholarly presentation of purchasing and supply chain management for the 21st century. "Arjan van Weele holds the (parttime) NEVI-Chair of Purchasing and Supply Management, at Eindhoven University of Technology, Faculty of Industrial Engineering and Innovation Sciences (IE&IS), The Netherlands." The material is thorough, excellent, and slow going for a sophomore course in logistics.

This book presents common concepts and practices in a way that is relatively easy to read and take in. I cannot really speak to the end-of-chapter content, but this book would be fine in any undergraduate sourcing class.
