Abstract

Strategic and managerial analysis shows that currently many conglomerates including those in the machine-building industry do not have established approaches to formation of a purchasing management system for their primary activity; some problems of purchasing model choice methodology lack theoretical development. In the given work the authors specify the list, the characteristics and the combination of estimated macrofactors influencing the choice of the principal supply model for the purposes of forming an optimal purchasing system of conglomerates. Supply management functions are distributed within the supply system of the holding company.
