In Korea, where there are few specialized books and useful information related to corporate purchasing, the first edition of consultant Lim Seong-min's [Strategic Purchasing Innovation Guide] has long been loved by many readers.
The author's first book, based on his actual consulting experience at companies such as Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Hyundai Motors, is arguably the best book explaining how to implement strategic purchasing innovation in companies.

Since the publication of the first edition, the global supply chain has faced significant challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. More recently, the volatility of the US tariff shock and the restructuring of the global supply chain under the Trump administration have emerged as bigger issues than ever.

This revised edition of the book explains to Korean companies and purchasing managers the efforts and preparations necessary for strategic supply chain management in this era of rapid change in the global supply chain.
And in the purchasing business, the application and introduction of AI technology is no longer an option but a necessity.
In these times, this revised edition provides detailed, core-focused explanations of real-world examples of AI technology applied in purchasing and supply chains, both domestically and internationally.

This book is a reference book for purchasing professionals working in corporate purchasing fields, and is read whenever they encounter difficulties in purchasing work.
This book will also serve as a guide for college students and job seekers hoping to find employment in the purchasing and SCM fields, providing them with indirect experience in purchasing tasks they may not have previously experienced, and reminding them of the importance of global supply chain management.
