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?

  1. 1943
  2. 2013
  3. 1983
  4. 2003

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

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. :)
