Peter Kraljic first published his Portfolio Purchasing Model in a paper entitled `Purchasing Must Become Supply Management' in the Harvard Business Review in September of which year?
It was in 1983.The original paper is available for purchase for a very modest fee from the Harvard Business Review website. The original paper is lucid, thought-provoking and in my opinion desirable reading for any- one who wishes to seriously learn about procurement. Especially tutors of procurement - ask your CIPS tutor if they've read the original work!If you're having trouble understanding what some of all this 'Kraljic talk' is about, treat yourself for $5 to the original work - the matrix has since been much discussed and developed, but is widely misunderstood, even by many who should know better. Professor Kraljic will appreciate the royal- ties. :)
`A person may exert power on the basis of their formal authority or status' Which of the French and Raven sources of power is being described here?

They may also have other sources of power such as expert power, or charisma, but the correct re- sponse to the QUESTION NO : is 'legitimate'.'Coercive' and 'informational' can also be sources of power not shown in the question.
