Procurement Management Question 8

[admin]

The performing organization is trying to decide whether to split the contracts department and assign procurement responsibilities to departments directly responsible for projects. A procurement professional might not want this split to occur because they would lose _____ in a decentralized contracting environment.

a) Standardized company project management practices
b) Loyalty to the project
c) Experience
d) Access to others with similar expertise

[admin]

The correct answer is D.

Choice A is incorrect, as the change would not impact the entire project management process, only procurement. Loyalty to the project (choice B) would be gained, not lost, in a decentralized environment. In a decentralized procurement situation, there is less focus on maintaining the skill or expertise of the contracting function, making choice D the best answer.
