Purchasing Manager's Desk Book of Purchasing Law

In this second update since the 1987 edition, "the authors want this book to be a friend and a source of comfort to you as a purchasing officer when you are faced with legal involvements in your daily routine." To this end, they provide insights into increasingly complex business law and ethics, new developments in the "battle of the forms" and the International Sale of Goods, and liabilities emanating from computers and environmental regulations. They also cover: legal aspects of the agency-employer relationship, negotiating with a supplier, contract terms, and electronic data interchange. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
