Abstract

Over the years, the student/researcher has been reading about the“hijacking” of purchasing profession by non-professional executives.  Also the delegation of the purchasing function to the background of a mere clerical function, despite the fact that this function/profession is in charge of spending up to 65% of an organization’s fund. The researcher had also during her one-year industrial attachment witnessed the way purchasing functions were mishandled by non-professionals who claimed to know the job (purchasing). The student has equally encountered some questions which says that if an illiterate woman in the village can buy her wants successfully in the market, why studying purchasing and supply, however, all this combined to motivate the researcher to conduct research on this topic“The use of non-professional buyers in the procurement of goods and services–problems and solutions”. This work will cover all aspects of purchasing as it affects this establishment PZ Plc.
