How you go about purchasing depends

How you go about purchasing depends on the structure within your organization. It's difficult, if not impossible, to define a universal approach to procurement. Everybody, every organization, has a specific approach to procurement. The moral of the story? Follow the rules. Once you know the rules of how to procure, then you can play the game.Gettin' to the Gettin'?????I know lots of people who like to go shopping. One person MBT Tunisha, (who shall remain nameless, but her initials are LISA) plans her vacations based on the shopping malls in the vicinity of her hotel. She buys an extra seat for the flight home, just to carry all of her new shoes and fancy outfits.?????As a project manager, you can't go project shopping just because shoes are on sale. While sales are good, they don't always help the project to acquire the things it needs to reach project closure.?????There's nothing better than finding a sale on the hardware or software that your project needs, but you and I know that's just not the way technology and procurement usually works. We have to shop, compare, evaluate, and eventually cough up the cash to get what our projects need.But here's some Econ 101 for you: Prices are MBT Lami affected by supply and demand, pending changes, and other factors, from government regulations to the economy as a whole.
