Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Purchasing structure refers to the degree of centralization or decentralization in a company's purchasing activity. A centralized purchasing structure occurs when all purchasing decisions are made at a single, central location, whereas a decentralized structure allows individual departments or locations to make their own purchasing decisions. Purchasing segregation, product usage, and purchase predisposition are not relevant to the degree of centralization in a company's purchasing activity.
