ABSTRACT
The importance of purchasing is underrated in many, many businesses. By creating functional specialists amongst the community of tactical buyers, the ability to spot out of the ordinary transactions is increased. Shoppers are people who make their buying decisions based on their emotions or feelings. They will choose a product based on the fact that they like the salesperson or if something sounds right or feels right about a purchasing proposition that is put to them. The strategic level of purchasing management sets the tone for purchasing in the organization and has key roles in scam prevention. The fundamental problem of the some rights are that they do little or nothing to challenge the 'one-dimensional' view of purchasing, that is, that it is just a transactional process in which requisitions get processed into orders and invoices get processed into payments.
