Reviews
Mr. Don Klock was straight to the point! Very interesting and comprehensive course. Looking forward to enrolling in more courses
Excellent material to understand the Strategic Sourcing Process and to evaluate a category to generate an strategic plan
The course is really helpful. it gives you the basic knowledge of strategic sourcing. But as note, I think it would be better if provided some books references
Great course. Don Klock was straight to the point and informative. Excercises were terrific. One suggestion is to prescribe some standard textbooks for various topics discussed.
