What Will This Book Do for You? This book provides a survival manual for anyone involved in the crafting, structuring, negotiating, supporting or managing contracts involving commercial transactions of goods, services or both. It blends the practical with general legal principles and highlights best practices for supply chain professionals and anyone else involved, directly or indirectly, with the generation or management of contracts from cradle-to-grave. Even commercially wise and sophisticated organizations can be untrained and unaware of certain gaps and traps in the management of their contracts. This book addresses those pitfalls and provides lessons learned and guidance that are not typically taught at the college or even graduate school level. Experience can be hard and expensive to come by and this book provides a concentrated dose of experience that immediately raises the reader's level of sophistication and awareness for gaps and traps while providing practical solutions to pitfalls that can haunt any organization. Left unchecked, these pitfalls can lead to dysfunction and confusion; both of which can be an expensive proposition in today's competitive and uncertain economic environment. Who Should Use this Book? Supply Chain Management Professionals, Risk Managers, Insurance Experts, Project Managers, Purchasing Agents, Contract Administrators, Executives and any business or technical professionals who are involved with developing, managing or implementing projects, purchases or any complex transaction or procurement where cost, schedule and scope certainty are important. What Does This Book Cover? This book covers how the relationship of the parties affects commercial transactions and addresses the importance of upholding the integrity of the process and the contract by understanding key supply chain best practices. The book focuses on contracting strategies and approaches including how to structure requests for proposals and instructions to bidders as well as key considerations in pricing and pricing adjustments, risk management tools and techniques, the importance of defining the deliverables and outcomes, negotiation strategies and techniques, negotiating warranties and remedies, applying leadership and influencing skills to the process, how to implement sound change management as well as capturing and applying past lessons learned. In addition, special attention is given to the importance of sound "kick off" and "close out", including termination for cause or convenience techniques and other best practices.

Many CFOs know little about the thousands of daily supply chain transactions that affect their companies. These transactions are often viewed as "routine" and are largely ignored by senior management, despite the fact that they pose huge potential risks to the organization. The sheer number of the daily supply chain transactions makes mistakes and missed opportunities a huge risk. Moreover, these transactions expose the company to potential claims and lawsuits. Poorly defined responsibilities inevitably lead to busted budgets and failed objectives. CFOs owe it to their company and their careers to be knowledgeable about supply chain transactions. This book addresses those issues and has been acclaimed by CFOs and academics alike. Here is what others have said about the book: "By applying the knowledge found in this book, CFOs and COOs can better navigate through unchartered waters and, when appropriate, constructively challenge the business decisions being made. This book is a great resource for all existing or aspiring CFOs or COOs, who want to improve their capabilities regarding contracts and contract management in order to avoid, manage, or mitigate financial risks." Rahul Agarwal, CFA is the Chief Financial Officer for CIFC Corporation, New York City. "Paul Humbert's latest book is a comprehensive resource for executives and managers involved with creating, executing, or managing transactions locally and globally. Each chapter provides actionable insights and tools to manage one's transactions throughout an organization from "cradle to grave" in an easy to digest format." David Dreyfus, Associate Professor, Department of Supply Chain Management Rutgers Business School - Newark and New Brunswick, New Jersey. "In the section of identifying and evaluating risks, I found the topic of cyber-security of particular interest as vendor management has been a key focus of regulators." James Ruggerio, Jr., CFA, CPA, Chief Operating Officer for Chatham Asset Management, LLC. "The book is very well written . . . which makes it eminently accessible to the public and especially useful to supply chain managers and CFOs." Benjamin Melamed, Distinguished Professor, Department of Supply Chain Management Rutgers Business School - Newark and New Brunswick, New Jersey. Commercially unwise behaviors both before and after the contract is signed or purchase order issue, results in loss of rights and remedies as well as claims and lawsuits. This book empowers CFOs to ask the right questions to ensure that inherent commercial risks are properly addressed.

Therefore, the book is divided into two parts: Part I (supply chain relations) focuses on topics such as supply chain design and partner selection, while Part II (supply chain processes) deals with shorter term decisions in executing supply chain processes beyond firm boundaries.
