On Purchasing and Supply Management study - a brief note

Some students would choose a topic in Purchasing and Supply Management for their dissertation works. There are textbooks on Purchasing and Supply Mangement; a good starting point is to visit the website of the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply to learn about this subject from the professional body's perspective.  You can study for their programme in self-study mode, but this is not my main focus here. Their affiliate academic journal is Journal of Purchasing & Supply Management, published by Elsevier. Journals in logistics management and supply chain management are relevant for literature review. Examples are:

  1. Journal of Supply Chain Management, published by the National Association of Purchasing Management,
  2. International Journal of Logistics Research and Applications, published by Taylor & Francis,
  3. International Journal of Physical Distribution & Logistics Management, published by Emerald
If your main topic is e-procurement, you should also study journals in information sytems for your literature review.
