THE ETHICAL AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PURCHASING PRACTICE IN INDUSTRIES. (A CASE STUDY OF GOLDEN GUINEA BREWERY PLC UMUAHIA ABIA STATE).

ABSTRACT

This research project intends to explore the Ethnical and social responsibilities of the Purchasing Practice in Industries in Nigeria.

I deemed it necessary since this research topic is unique to industries in Nigeria, an environmental practical research was carried on, in a brewery industry using Golden Guinea Breweries Plc Umuahia as a case study which was used to generalize the project objectives.

This research work cannot be  said to be exhaustive due to changing nature of our industries, and it is not design to replace other views or subsequent research on this study objective, but has gone a long way in highlighting the ways to the much advocated efficient purchasing practice which has eluded our system.
