Description

The concept of purchasing policy and strategy is central to understanding of the process of strategic management. The term strategy emanates from a Greek word ‘ strategos’ , which means generalship – the actual direction of a military force as distinct from the policy governing their deployment. The word literally means the art of the general. Strategy begins with a concept of how to use the resources of a firm more effectively in the changing environment. It is similar to the concept in sports called “ game plan” e.g. before a team goes into the field, effective coaches examine a competitor’ s past plans, strengths and weaknesses. The objective is to win the game with minimum injuries; coaches may also not wish to use all their best players but to save some for the future opponents. So coaches devise a plan to win a game.

A partnership may be defined as the relationship which subsists between persons carrying on a business in common with a view of profit. The maximum size of a partnership is normally 20 persons although for certain professional practices such as solicitors and accountants the number can exceed 20 as long as such partnerships are registered under the Companies Act. Under most circumstances each partner is an agent of the firm for the purpose of carrying on the normal business of the firm. This means that individual partners can bind the other partners to contracts they negotiate on behalf of the firm. They may also recover from the partnership any funds they spend for the benefit of the partnership.
