2015_Global SRM Research Report - Supplier Relationships

Just 21 % of all respondents feelthat their senior managers are strongly and actively engaged inSRM

number showing opposition dropping sharply from more than 20 %

for both operational and senior executive staff in 2013 . However , in

both cases , there has been a slight rise in the number that are not

engaged .
