Journal Of Purchasing And Supply Management

(ISSN 1873-6505)

Aims & Scope

The mission of the Journal of Purchasing & Supply Management is to publish original, high-quality research within the field of purchasing and supply management (PSM).

Articles should have a significant impact on PSM theory and practice. The Journal ensures that high quality research is collected and disseminated widely to both academics and practitioners, and provides a forum for debate. It covers all subjects relating to the purchase and supply of goods and services in industry, commerce, local, national, and regional government, health and transportation.

The journal is effectively positioned as a multi-disciplinary journal, focusing on a particular set of study objects rather than a specific discipline. The journal is clearly focused on the context in purchasing and supply management, and is quite liberal with respect to the method and style of research and the level of problem addressed.

Key topics include:

Purchasing and supply in a strategic context

Organisational buying behaviour

Make-or-buy/outsourcing strategy

Global/international sourcing

Supplier relationships

Tendering and contracting

Costing and pricing

Negotiation
