the doctor’s Guest Contributions: The Half Year in Review

Since the last summary of my guest post contributions (in June), I’ve blogged a number of guest posts over on eSourcing Forum as well as authored or co-authored a number of the initial versions of the wiki-papers over on the eSourcing Wiki. I’ve also contributed articles to the EyeForProcurement monthly newsletter as well as Efficient Purchasing.  For those looking for some more insights on various topics, here they are.
