Great course. Don Klock was straight to the point and informative. Excercises were terrific. One suggestion is to prescribe some standard textbooks for various topics discussed.
The course is really helpful. it gives you the basic knowledge of strategic sourcing. But as note, I think it would be better if provided some books references
