Biography of Manco Inca (1516-1544) Ruler of the Inca Empire
Manco Inca (1516-1544) was an Inca Prince and later a puppet ruler of the Inca Empire under the Spanish. Although he initially worked with the Spanish who had put him on the throne of the Inca Empire, he later came to realize that the Spanish would usurp the Empire and fought against them. He spent his last few years in open rebellion against the Spanish. He was eventually treacherously murdered by Spaniards to whom he had given sanctuary. Manco Inca and the Civil War Manco was one of the many sons of Huayna Capac, ruler of the Inca Empire. Huayna Capac died in 1527 and a war of succession broke out among two of his sons, Atahualpa and Huascar. Atahualpas base of power was in the north, in and around the city of Quito, while Huascar held Cuzco and the south. Manco was one of several princes who supported Huascars claim. In 1532, Atahualpa defeated Huascar. Just then, however, a group of Spaniards arrived under Francisco Pizarro: they took Atahualpa captive and threw the Inca Empire into chaos. Like many in Cuzco who had supported Huascar, Manco initially saw the Spaniards as saviors. Mancos Rise to Power The Spanish executed Atahualpa and found they needed a puppet Inca to rule the Empire while they plundered it. They settled on one of Huayna Capacs other sons, Tupac Huallpa. He died of smallpox shortly after his coronation, however, so the Spanish selected Manco, who had already proven himself loyal by fighting alongside the Spanish against rebellious natives from Quito. He was formally crowned Inca (the word Inca is similar in meaning to king or emperor) in December of 1533. At first, he was an eager, compliant ally of the Spanish: he was happy that they had selected him for the throne: as his mother had been lesser nobility, he most likely never would have been Inca otherwise. He helped the Spanish put down rebellions and even organized a traditional Inca hunt for the Pizarros. The Inca Empire Under Manco Manco may have been Inca, but his empire was falling apart. Packs of Spanish rode across the land, looting and murdering. The natives in the northern half of the empire, still loyal to the murdered Atahualpa, were in open revolt. Regional chiefs, who had seen the Inca royal family fail to repel the hated invaders, took on more autonomy. In Cuzco, Spaniards openly disrespected Manco: his home was robbed on more than one occasion and the Pizarro brothers, who were the de facto rulers of Peru, did nothing about it. Manco was allowed to preside over traditional religious rituals, but Spanish priests were putting pressure on him to abandon them. The Empire was slowly but surely deteriorating. Abuses of Manco The Spanish were openly contemptuous of Manco. His house was robbed, he was repeatedly threatened to produce more gold and silver, and the Spanish even spat upon him occasionally. The worst abuses came when Francisco Pizarro went to found the city of Lima on the coast and left his brothers Juan and Gonzalo Pizarro in charge in Cuzco. Both brothers tormented Manco, but Gonzalo was the worst. He demanded an Inca princess for a bride and decided that only Cura Ocllo, who was the wife/sister of Manco, would do. He demanded her for himself, causing a great scandal among what was left of the Inca ruling class. Manco deceived Gonzalo for a while with a double, but it didnt last and eventually, Gonzalo stole Mancos wife. Manco, Almagro and the Pizarros Around this time (1534) a serious disagreement broke out among the Spanish conquistadors. The conquest of Peru had originally been undertaken by a partnership between two veteran conquistadors, Francisco Pizarro and Diego de Almagro. The Pizarros tried to cheat Almagro, who was rightfully irked. Later, the Spanish crown divided the Inca Empire between the two men, but the wording of the order was vague, leading both men to believe that Cuzco belonged to them. Almagro was temporarily placated by allowing him to conquer Chile, where it was hoped he would find enough loot to satisfy him. Manco, perhaps because the Pizarro brothers had treated him so badly, supported Almagro. Mancos Escape By late 1535, Manco had seen enough. It was obvious to him that he was ruler in name only and that the Spanish did not intend to ever give back the rule of Peru to the natives. The Spanish were plundering his land and enslaving and raping his people. Manco knew that the longer he waited, the harder it would be to remove the hated Spanish. He tried to escape in October of 1535, but he was captured and put into chains. He regained the confidence of the Spanish and came up with a clever plan to escape: he told the Spanish that as Inca he needed to preside over a religious ceremony in the Yucay Valley. When the Spanish hesitated, he promised to bring back a life-sized golden statue of his father that he knew was hidden there. The promise of gold worked to perfection, as Manco had known it would. Manco escaped on April 18, 1535, and launched his rebellion. Mancos First Rebellion Once free, Manco sent out a call to arms for all his generals and local chieftains. They responded by sending massive levies of warriors: before long, Manco had an army of at least 100,000 warriors. Manco made a tactical mistake, waiting for all of the warriors to arrive before marching on Cuzco: the extra time given to the Spanish to make their defenses proved crucial. Manco marched on Cuzco in early 1536. There were only about 190 Spaniards in the city, although they had many native auxiliaries. On May 6, 1536, Manco launched a massive attack on the city and nearly captured it: parts of it were burned. The Spanish counterattacked and captured the fortress of Sachsaywaman, which was much more defensible. For a while, there was a stalemate of sorts, until the return in early 1537 of the Diego de Almagro expedition. Manco attacked Almagro and failed: his army dispersed. Manco, Almagro and the Pizarros Manco was driven off, but saved by the fact that Diego de Almagro and the Pizarro brothers began fighting among themselves. Almagros expedition had found nothing but hostile natives and harsh conditions in Chile and had returned to take their share of the loot from Peru. Almagro seized the weakened Cuzco, capturing Hernando and Gonzalo Pizarro. Manco, meanwhile, retreated to the town of Vitcos in the remote Vilcabamba Valley. An expedition under Rodrigo Orgà ³Ã ±ez penetrated deep into the valley but Manco escaped. Meanwhile, he watched as the Pizarro and Almargo factions went to war: the Pizarros prevailed at the battle of Salinas in April of 1538. The civil wars among the Spanish had weakened them and Manco was ready to strike again. Mancos Second Rebellion In late 1537 Manco rose up in rebellion once again. Instead of raising a massive army and leading it himself against the hated invaders, he tried a different tactic. The Spaniards were spread out all over Peru in isolated garrisons and expedition: Manco organized local tribes and revolts aimed at picking these groups off. This strategy was partly successful: a handful of Spanish expeditions were wiped out, and travel became extremely unsafe. Manco himself led an attack on the Spanish at Jauja, but was rebuffed. The Spanish responded by sending out expeditions specifically to track him down: by 1541 Manco was on the run again and retreated again to Vilcabamba. The Death of Manco Inca Once again, Manco waited things out in Vilcabamba. In 1541, all of Peru was shocked when Francisco Pizarro was murdered in Lima by assassins loyal to the son of Diego de Almagro and the civil wars flared up again. Manco again decided to let his enemies slaughter one another: once again, the Almagrist faction was defeated. Manco did give sanctuary to seven Spaniards who had fought for Almagro and feared for their lives: he put these men to work teaching his soldiers how to ride horses and use European weapons. These men betrayed and murdered him sometime in mid-1544, hoping to gain a pardon by doing so. Instead, they were tracked down and killed by Mancos forces. Legacy of Manco Inca Manco Inca was a good man in a tough spot: he owed his position of privilege to the Spanish, but soon came to see that his allies would destroy the Peru he knew. He therefore put the good of his people first and started a rebellion which lasted almost ten years. During this time, his men fought the Spanish tooth and nail all over Peru: had he re-taken Cuzco swiftly in 1536, the course of Andean history might have altered dramatically. Mancos revolt is a credit to his wisdom in seeing that the Spanish would not rest until every ounce of gold and silver was taken from his people. The blatant disrespect showed to him by Juan and Gonzalo Pizarro, among many others, certainly had much to do with it, too. Had the Spaniards treated him with dignity and respect, he might have played the part of puppet emperor longer. Unfortunately for the Andean natives, Mancos revolt represented the last, best hope for the removal of the hated Spanish. After Manco, there was a short succession of Inca rulers, both Spanish puppets and independent ones in Vilcabamba. Tà ºpac Amaru was killed by the Spanish in 1572, the last of the Inca. Some of these men fought the Spanish, but none of them had the resources or skills that Manco did. When Manco died, any realistic hope for a return to native rule in the Andes died with him. Manco was a skilled guerrilla leader: he learned during his first rebellion that large armies are not always best: during his second rebellion, he relied on smaller forces to pick off isolated groups of Spaniards and had much more success. When he was killed, he was training his men in the use of European weapons, adapting to the changing times of warfare. Sources: Burkholder, Mark and Lyman L. Johnson. Colonial Latin America.

Service Operations and Marketing for Business- myassignmenthelp
Question: Discuss about theService Operations and Marketing for Global Business. Answer: Introduction The purpose of this business report is to critically analyze a case study of Australian Premium Produce. This is one of the major companies in Australia that have operated locally for a period of five years. Just like any other objective oriented business enterprise, Bentley Beverage Services was able to expand business operation from local business operations to international business level[1]. Initially, the company was producing products such as food as well as alcoholic drinks to different parts of Australia. This was just a local business operation where the company operated as a main wholesaler. In that connection, many local business operators have a motive and a desire to expand the operations of the business to a wider markets. This is driven by desire to generate more profits as well as offering goods and services in areas where a business gap have been spotted. Many companies that aim at moving from local to global business operation have applied various strategies that ha ve enabled them to achieve competitive advantage at global level[2]. In that case, the idea of re-badging Bentley Beverage Services as Australian Premium Produce can be classified as a good strategy in this particular business operation. When a business enterprise decide to shift from local operations to global operations, there are many factors that need to be factored in so as to fully initiate a progressive operation. The facts that Australian Premium Produce expanded it markets for products to other states and territories, then a lot of issues were to be considered so as to sustain the business in both short run and long run business growth and development[3]. It also involved shifting from contractual situations to BYOD situations. From such kind of business growth, a quality mobility and accurate data are very necessary so as to maintain upward trends in business growth and development of Australian Premium Produce. As a business consultant, I wish to apply by skills and expertise so as to offer a detailed and comprehensive recommendations and advice to Australian Premium Produce. This will assist the company to solve all the issues associated to shifting business operations from local levels to global levels. In that connection, this business report will be implemented by Australian Premium Produce so as to achieve the short term and long term objectives of the business[4]. Finally, the report will form a benchmark on strategies to solve business operations by critically analyzing the following issues concerning Australian Premium Produce case study. Data requirement by customer representatives such as inventory levels, pricing and location. Information concerning currency, warehouses holding stock and management of orders This section aim at considering business processes and management necessary for the purpose of addressing the aspects of data needed by customer representatives, currency, warehousing and management of orders. By laying down the advice on these particular foundations, then Australian Premium Produce will be in a better position to address the issues at hand. Data required by customer representatives The importance of data in any business operations cannot be ignored in any way. Data concerning business processes need to be gathered in a way that offers the solutions to the underlying problems[5]. Data appropriateness and accuracy need to be considered in the operations of the business. This will promote more market venture and generation of more profits from the sales of goods and services. Therefore, we aim at addressing the data concerning inventory levels, pricing and the location of the business. To start with, customer representatives need data on inventory levels. In this case, we can term the underlying inventories as stock of Australian Premium Produce. These inventory or simply stock need to be in manageable levels in terms of all the features of quality inventory[6]. In this case, the customer representatives need to have the following data on inventory levels. First, the quality of inventory. This is very important for sale of any products. In the market place, the rate at which inventories are consumed by customers and consumers is highly associated to the quality of stock offered by Australian Premium Produce. If the inventory is in good quality, then the customer representatives will have ease time to convince the customers and customers to buy the products. This will in that return increase the market sales of the products thus generating more profits for the business. The other aspect of inventory level quality is competition. The aim of any business in operation is to attain competitive advantage in the market place[7]. Therefore, customer representatives need these data so as to outdo the competitors. In case the quality of inventory under consideration ii not up to the desired qualities, then customer representative need to forward the trend of sales of the inventory to Australian Premium Produce management team for upgrade and for rebranding. On the case note, the quantity of inventory is important. Customer representatives need the data of quantity of inventory that can sustain the market for a given period of time. This will reduce cases of oversupply and undersupply in the market with regards to the demand from the consumers. Therefore, may advise to Australian Premium Produce on inventory levels is based on marketing strategy. Marketing strategy put into consideration the forces of demand and supply mechanisms[8]. Always make sure that the business maintain quality inventory levels so as to attract the customers and outdo the competi tors. Maintaining the market quantity of inventory levels ensures that the market is in equilibrium will proper prices of good as well as adequate supply of inventory levels to sustain the market. This data is important to customer representatives to avoid price fluctuations in the market and unnecessary supply in the market. Another data that customer representative may need in this scenario is pricing. A pricing process require a tactical consideration along with other pricing strategies[9]. The price of products offered by Australian Premium Produce need to be reasonable when venturing into new markets. This will be able to attract the consumers and tame them into future reliable customers. Again. On the same note, Australian Premium Produce need to take care of untrusted sales agents and customer representatives. This is because, a lot of complains have been reported from a similar case study on sales of products by sales agents and customer representatives. Some of these staffs then to sell the products at higher prices different from recommendations of the company management. They use the information inside the business for their personal gain. Therefore, customer representative need this data in the issue of pricing. Any attempt to conduct such act will be an offence based on insider trading. In th is case, the aspect of true governances will be implemented to maintain proper pricing of goods and products offered by Australian Premium Produce. Lastly on data, the issue of location need to be well established to customer representatives. The operations of the business need to venture in areas where high turnout of consumers will be located. There is need to reduce unnecessary expenses and costs that will result too insignificant sales of the products[10]. Therefore, consumer representatives need to research which location to venture o as to make more sales with reduction in the cost of venture. The main aim of a business is maximization and optimization of sales and profits. Again, the business aims at minimization of cost of operations. Thus, the location of the business should be reliable with potential customers and consumers. This will include urban centers with high population[11]. This location is very important since there is high likelihood of increase the customer threshold which may favor the growth and development of Australian Premium Produce in the future. Therefore, may advise on location is based on operation al aspects of business processes. Currency of information The modern trade is based on currency unlike the traditional barter trade. It is important to note that currency is affected by various aspects such as deflationary gaps and inflationary gaps. This king of information is very necessary in business operations and processes. Currency is highly affected by inflation[12]. Typically, inflation is a condition where there is too much money or currency in supply in the economy. In that case, the purchasing power of the currency lowers which is likely to affect business operations. Therefore, the company need to know when to hold currency as a liquid asset and when to hold it as a fixed assets. My advice on currency information for Australian Premium Produce is to hold money as fixed asset during inflation and as liquid cash during deflations[13]. This will help the company to reduce that problems associated to deflationary and inflationary gaps. This will assist in management of cash inflows and cash out flows in the business operations and processes. This will also assist the company to organize the resources during the different business cycles such as boom, recession, recovery and peak seasons. Stock Warehousing A warehouse is also known as silo in business terminology. This is a room where the stocks or inventories of a business enterprise are held for ready supply to the market once they arise. The issue of warehousing is very crucial for any business that need to operate both locally and globally.[14]For the case of Australian Premium Produce, the issue of warehouse holding stock may become a challenge bearing in mind that the company expanded the market for the products from local to global level. This implies that the quantity of stock that need to be kept ready of supply and shipment has increased significantly. The problem that arise from warehouse holding stocks is based on the costs for hiring the warehouses and complex legal procedures used to access a warehouse together with security and risks associated to holding stocks in a warehouse. First, the cost of hiring the warehouse is quite high which challenge the operations of Australian Premium Produce. Warehouses are charged highly due to competition by investors and scarcity of warehouses. Again, to secure a warehouse, the legal procedures followed may hinder the operations of the business[15]. There are documents that need to be provided when holding products in a warehouse and when collecting the products from the warehouse. In those documents are in question in any time of holding and collecting the products, then there could be delays that may affect the operations of the business. This may result to losses in case the products under consideration are perishable products. Another issue associated to warehousing is security of the products and stocks to be held in the warehouse[16]. This is because, a given warehouse may be used to store stocks for different clients which may expose the stock in to risks of mishandling. Therefore, my advice to Australian Premium P roduce is to ensure they reconsidered the type of ware house to use for their products. There are different types of warehouses that are offer for commercial services. They include government warehouses that are operated by government agents top offer warehousing services to the public[17]. There are public warehouse that are owned by the members of the public. These are less costly compared to government warehouses since not duty is included in the products. I this business report, the best warehouse to hold stock for Australian Premium Produce is private warehouse. The company need to build a private warehouse so as to mitigate all the negative issues associated to warehousing. A private warehouse is convenient to the company at any time of business operation. The security of the products is a guarantee where the risks of uncertainty are highly reduced[18]. In that case, the company can hold any quantity of stock desired unlike the public warehouse where there is a limit of quantity of stock to hold. Managing order completion The management of order completion is another very important aspect in this case study. In that case, the central system that will be incorporated for lodging orders must be reliable and accessible to the relevant offices. This will pave way forward to design a methodology that best fit the location for the products where huge sales will be generated[19]. The central system need to offer an alternative way to manage orders so as to have smooth completion. Thus my advice to Australian Premium Produce is to maintain a working central system for lodging orders along with manual backup to support the lodging of these orders in case of a technical problem in the central system. Business mobility and BYOD issues of security and risk It is important to note that the owner of any business can do anything that will support the operations of the business. The owner of the business is ready to commit all the necessary resources so as to motivate his business in the process of growth and development[20]. In that connection, the owner of Australian Premium Produce must commit the necessary resources so as to witness the appropriate mobility for this business as well as to commit resources to mitigate the issues of security and risks. Business mobility Australian Premium Produce need to design a reliable mobility of factors of production. There are four factors of production. They include land, labor, capital and entrepreneurship. Therefore, for Australian Premium Produce to have upward mobility in business growth and development, then, all these factors of production need to be factored in and need to be mobile as well[21]. The first factor of mobility is land. Land refers to the general area of operation under which the business is laid. In this case, Australian Premium Produce deals with food and alcoholic drinks. This implies that, there are certain plants that the company have set to produce these products. In terms of mobility, these areas are typically referred to land. Thus, since the company expanded the market to global level, there is need for mobility of land in production process. Australian Premium Produce need to expand more plants to other areas of operations. So my advice to Australian Premium Produce is to set mor e retrial outlets to other parts of the global where the business have been able to venture. In that case, the business will be able to generate the products from a closer plant rather than spending a lot of costs in warehousing and shipment of these products to international users[22]. There is need of devolution to be closer to the consumers. This will expand the company to other territorial boundaries. Other aspect of mobility is labour. It is very important for any business that need to enhance growth and development to recruit the best labour in terms of skills and expertise. Intensive labour will assist Australian Premium Produce to increase on quality and quantity of production. This is because, there will be innovation and creativity so as to satisfy the consumers lists of preference[23]. In this this, it implies that mobility of Australian Premium Produce will be achieved by capitalizing on intensive labour. This go along with proper wages, salaries and remunerations to the labour force so as to motivate them to achieve the set objectives of Australian Premium Produce. Another aspect of mobility is capital. This factor of production need to have mobility so as to expound on business operations. For any business to achieve the mobility in term of scale and scope of operations, then there is need to in put more capital in to the business operations and processes. Therefore, my advice to Australian Premium Produce is to commit more capital to the production process and marketing strategies[24]. This will involve reinvesting generated profits to the business. This will improve the scale and scope of business operation to a wider perspective in the global levels. Last nature of mobility is entrepreneurship as a factor of production. Mobility of entrepreneurship will assist Australian Premium Produce to reach more markets in the long run. The profits generated by the company will be reinvested[25]. The legal procedures required to expand the business an entrepreneurial scheme will not be subjected to complex legal formalities. This will favor Australian Premium Produce to a large extent. If all these factors of production are subjected to the mention mobility, then Australian Premium Produce will become a global company whose net worth of the business will in a position to sustain the company for a long period of time. BYOD issue Once Australian Premium Produce shifted from local to global operations, it was able to shift from contractual situation to BYOD situation. In that connection, there are two aspect that come along and need to be factored in in this business report. That is, security and risk. The facts that Australian Premium Produce expanded it markets for products to other states and territories, then a lot of issues were to be considered so as to sustain the business in both short run and long run business growth and development[26]. Among other factors that were embraced by the company were initiation of customer representatives who were to be situated to different areas of operations. It also involved shifting from contractual situations to BYOD situations. There is need to reconsider the issue of security and risks associate to the business operation a global level. There is the issue of security of products during the production process, warehousing and shipment to international markets[27]. In that connection, my advice to Australian Premium Produce is based on the fact that a lot of many more products from other investors from different business operations. The process to be used by all these investors will be similar. Therefore, to avoid the confrontations associated to this public mode of operation that may damage the stock and other programs, the best thing for Australian Premium Produce is to embrace privatization. This will reduces the insecurity related to damage of stocks and risks of uncertainty. Access to the applications by Australian Premium Produce staffs The fact that only a small number of staffs access the all the information including the accounting system is an issue that need to be addressed because a lot of implications can be associated to this particular decision. As a consultant, a have a privilege of analyzing different scenarios similar to Australian Premium Produce case study. The issue of accessing business information and application by staffs is very sensitive at times to business operations and processes[28]. Australian Premium Produce have only permitted a small number of staffs to access business applications including accounting information systems. With that as a baseline, I tend to offer the following recommendations. I tend to believe information is power. This statement implies that, only relevant information is required to assist a specific staff or a cohort of staff to execute a particular task. Everything else is substantial[29]. Australian Premium Produce only need to allow access of applications to authorized staffs only. This is important to limit the rate at which important and confidential data leak to the outside. Again, it is important for Australian Premium Produce to realize that data vulnerability is very common from the inside of business operations. There is a lot of applications and information that need to be put confidential for a chosen cohort of business staffs. Thus allowing a large portion of staffs to access accounting systems may compromise the entire strategies laid down by the business. Therefore, a recommend a definite authentication to be put in to consideration what it comes to issue of accessing business applications such as accounting systems. Let every staff access the information relevant to his scale and scope of operations. Another recommendation is based on the issue of insider trading. Many cases have been reported where staffs in a given business enterprise use inside information for their personal gains and personal interest. Insider trading is an offence punishable by law[30]. Therefore, to help the staffs from the activities of insider trading, it is important to limit the access of information and application to relevant and authorized users. Let the payroll system remain the mandate of the owner so as to limit cases of financial frauds by other staffs. Management of IT services It is a fact that almost 80% of global business operations cannot work without information technology. Therefore, the owner of the business need to be equipped highly in the area of information technology. The owner need to be updated on any occurrences that Australian Premium Produce undertake. This can be achieved via information technology. The owner can manage IT services by utilizing a number of IT experts so as to fully focus on business operations. The owner can manage this by creating a local area network for his business operations[31]. A local area network will be reflecting all the operations taking place in Australian Premium Produce. From that perspective, the owner will be able to manage IT services from that angle. The aspect of outsourcing cannot be achieved without considering other stakeholders. In this case, the stakeholders are from global level. Thus, the owner need to work closely with international stakeholders before shifting business operation in to cost effe ctive approach. The owner of Australian Premium Produce need a cohort of IT staffs. These staffs include a data clerk, a networker, IT specialist, inventory system controller and database administrator. This cohort of IT staff will be of great importance to Australian Premium Produce. Data clerk been used in data collecting and data cleaning, a networker will be used in maintenance of local area network, IT specialist will oversee the whole IT service, inventory system controller will be used to forecast on inventory needed for particular market while database administrator will safeguard Australian Premium Produce data and confidential information from competitors. The management of these staffs will be based on scope of operation. Each staff will have authentication of his own area of operation without compromising on other staffs area of operations. Advise on service operations for owners business The owner of Australian Premium Produce business enterprise need to understand that his business cannot operate without the impact of other workers in his business. In simple terms, he cannot operate alone in his business. Therefore, there is need to have a management team that will oversee service operations for Australian Premium Produce. These team must comprise of reliable stakeholders who will have business operations at heart[32]. The owner need to reconsider the consumers and customers because they are the main clients of his business. Enquire on things the customers want done right for sustainability of service operations of Australian Premium Produce. These questions can be framed for the owner to realize the importance of his business operations to the market. Are the products offered by Australian Premium Produce satisfy the consumers and customers? Do the staffs enjoy working in Australian Premium Produce? What are the future objectives of Australian Premium Produce? Which mechanisms does Australian Premium Produce aim to apply to achieve competitive advantage in market place? Conclusion The operations of Australian Premium Produce need to focus on the future of the business so as to meet the long term objectives. In that case, the owner need to work closely with all the stakeholders to his business. This would include aspects such as motivation of staffs. When the staffs are motivated in their daily business operations, they are able to set interdepartmental targets to be achieved in a given time frame towards the future. Again, since the business operate as a global enterprise, it is important to work closely with the government so as to eliminate trade barriers in the international markets. The government can offer incentives to the business which will make Australian Premium Produce to have favorable terms of trade and favorable foreign exchange. These aspects will assist Australian Premium Produce to achieve more progress in the future. Bibliography Books Baily, Farmer Crocker. Procurement, Principle Management. Pearson publishers, 2015.
