Book Description
Peter L. Grieco, Jr., drawing on over 25 years of experience in the purchasing field, provides readers with the basics of purchasing ethics. Grieco also sets out a systematic method for raising the ethics level of the purchasing department. Purchasing Ethics covers topics such as the role of management, legal considerations, the human factor, and ethics in everyday situations. And throughout the book there is a dual emphasis on both the company and the individual.
Meeting the ethics challenge is not only the right thing to do, it is the profitable thing to do! Weave ethical behavior into the fabric of a company and the result is an environment of trust and respect. Trust and respect foster a more creative and entrepreneurial spirit among workers who are no longer afraid of making mistakes which are essential to the growth of any company. An unethical company is often an inefficient company. For this reason alone, ethics is a critical asset to an organization. The strategies presented in this book can boost a company's performance through the implementation of an ethics process.
