This must-have reference also includes discussion of the theory behind specifications, including why they are needed and who develops and uses them. The perfect resource for purchasing courses, SPECS provides readers with the decision-making skills they need in the area of quality, quantity, specifications, and the general value analysis of the purchasing function."--Publisher's website.
