ENHANCING PROCUREMENT PRACTICES


Authors usually struggle with finding the right way of presenting the
subject matter of their book, because it is not an easy job to guide the readers
through a large number of closely interrelated issues in a really effective and
enjoyable manner. This is particularly true in case of addressing
procurement since many of the work processes to be described are of
iterative nature. It means that in the everyday procurement practice a
substantial part of the emerging ideas - hence the associated documents - are
gradually refined until reaching the desired level of consistency and detail.
Although a well organised guide - what this book intends to be - is
certainly useful to have as a proven reference at hand, in the real life any
seemingly logical procurement scheme can serve only as a skeleton. At the
time of commencing the preparations for a procurement action, experts'
ambitious thoughts first start swinging around the pool of potential solutions,
and this hectic oscillation usually boils down to a manageable number of
alternatives only after checking the pros and contras from all essential
perspectives. On the one hand, it is the facilitating, co-operative, and
integration nature that make the procurement discipline so exciting. On the
other hand, the targeted comprehensiveness complicates the selection of the
right order and balance of discussing the issues.
