CHAPTER ONE
1.0 Introduction
This study is a comparative study of the purchasing concepts, its applicability by manufacturing industry (Spring Bank Nigeria plc Owerri)
Ours is a competitive and dynamic environment where one must adopt to the changing trends and be able to make the customers satisfied hence the need for purchasing concepts.
Purchasing concepts today is the subject of growing in all types of organization within and outside of business section and in countries through the world. Since views differ on the which development model is the best countries and organization take different paths.
They assign different roles to industrial, domestic saving foreign capital central planning, imported technology land reform and modernization of agricultural public or private enterprises and so on despite this diversity developing countries as well agencies and Business Corporation agree that the equality of purchasing concepts largely determines, what is achieved.
This unanimity is not based on any theory or ideology but on experience. When the purchasing concept is not in use in any organization, even massive injections of finance and resources as well as supper human effort produce only flecting improvements.
This observation is not new, much has been said and written about purchasing in developing countries, much has been done to increase the number of competent purchasing managers use to build and strengthen purchasing institutions, to learn from countries processing consideration purchasing experience spreads the gospel of purchasing concepts and purchasing activity as widely as possible.
Yet the task is not complete, perhaps the line has been too short and the effort inadequate errors too have involved the purchasing challenge of 1990's is not what it was thirty or even have imagine the impact purchasing concept could create in the manufacturing industry.
A satisfied customer will not only stick to your company but will also speak good things about it would not want to establish internal harmony consistency or congruity. He achieves this abandoning or drawing his assets from the bank.
The starting point of purchasing concept deals with the ideal of looking at the produces of services from the customers point of view instead of trying to give your consumers what you think they need, find out what they want subject to course some of the social responsibility constraints.
