I would once again like to welcome from Buyers Meeting Point to share information of this week's events and news from the world of purchasing, Kelly Barner.

NOTE: In this week's guest excerpt, we will hear Rita Gunther McGrath, author of the End of Competitive Advantage, talk about the three main challenges that she believes will keep executives up at night in 2014.
