| Abstract: | This article examines ISO-9000 from the perspective of the purchasing function. As international competition becomes more intense, cost, quality, and competitiveness become linked. Thus, purchasing becomes a key player as a firm develops its competitive strategy. Purchasing executives were asked for their views on issues related to source assessment, quality, and ISO-9000. The results indicate that the purchasing and supply function is likely to have a strategic impact on a firm's globalization process. |
