This autumn issue of CPO Agenda has a special focus on supplier relationships in the automotive industry. We feature the results of the latest annual survey of US automotive suppliers, which looks at how more than 300 firms rate the quality of their working relations with General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda and Nissan. We also have an interview with GM’s CPO, Bo Andersson.
Other articles include: negotiating with strategic partners; the HR habits of highly effective CPOs; strategies to mitigate commodity price rises; and a roundtable discussion from Paris on procurement’s future challenges.
