A third Update to the resources section (Part II, Chapters 8-31) of Supply Market Intelligence for Procurement Professionals: Research, Process, and Resources has been written: WAV_Update_Comp_February_2016. It is comprehensive in nature and includes the updated information from the previous two Updates. It will also soon be available, along with the other two Updates, on J. Ross Publishing’s Web Added Value Download Resource Center.
As stated in the methodology section (Chapter 7) in the book:
Each entry in the following chapters was written with the dual purpose of describing the resource and providing details on how best to access the information it offers. Many times, key information is offered via special reports and studies that are published on a serial basis (e.g., monthly or annually). In an effort to provide succinct access to this information, navigation tips are offered. The authors make these suggestions with an understanding of the risk associated with providing information that may become quickly outdated. It is likely that after this book’s publication, there will be sources listed in Part II where a website’s design, content, or address will have been changed, upgraded, or enhanced. To address this issue, the authors are utilizing the Web Added Value (WAV) Download Resource Center offered by J. Ross Publishing for this book. Continuous updates on the resources listed, and new ones of value, will be maintained and presented at the publisher’s website.
