Follow me also on Twitter @Arjanvanweele for daily news.

At February 8th and 9th I conducted a workshop on Category Management and Responsible Supplier Relationship Management, organized by EFFSO (see www.effso.se), at Gotenborg and Stockholm. At Gotenborg over 80 participants showed up. At Stockholm even over 300 purchasing and supply professionals. Both events were exciting and allowed for lively interaction with the audience. Thank you EFFSO for the great organization of both events. Thank you prof dr Bjorn Axelsson for your professional and kind facilitation!

This website enables you to quickly go through my publications, presentations and course materials. With this website I hope to stimulate your interest in the role and power of purchasing and supply chain management. Given the current growth of the global economy, the steeply increasing prices of raw materials and energy and the resulting scarcity of many materials and components, purchasing and supply management has become an important differentiator for business performance. See for my many articles and publications the book and publications section.These have now been updated and now include articles which have been published in 2010. See our new article 'Value creation in supply chains: the effects of market orientation, sustainability and innovation on value creation' (Dutch text, Articles section). See also our new article on Efficient Purchasing on 'The Impossible Art of Buying Services' (New Articles section) and ‘The Cost of Sustainability’ (Press). Finally, see literature/book list for other books on purchasing and supply management (Articles Books Publications section).

For upcoming Executive Programs, see Training Section.
