Welcome to the personal website of Prof Dr Arjan van Weele!

Follow me also on Twitter @Arjanvanweele for daily news.

This website enables you to quickly go through my publications, presentations and course materials. With this website I hope to stimulate your interest in the role and power of purchasing and supply chain management. Given the current growth of the global economy, the steeply increasing prices of raw materials and energy and the resulting scarcity of many materials and components, purchasing and supply management has become an important differentator for business performance.

For upcoming Executive Programs, see Training Section.

Our best selling book on 'Purchasing and Supply Chain Management', 5th edition is in its second reprint. Norwegian version, published by NIMA,will be available in November this year. Swedish edition, published by Studenttlitteratur, will be available early 2012.

Please, go to 'Agenda' section for programs and upcoming events.
