What Are the Key Determinants of Purchasing Manager Pay?
The size of your organization, its annual sales, and certifications and education play a significant role in determining what you are paid. That s the conclusion of Senior Purchasing and Supply Managers 2001 Compensation Benchmarks and Demographics, a new study just released by CAPS Research (Tempe, Ariz.), which also can be downloaded from its web site, www.capsresearch.org. The primary focus of this study, conducted by Thomas E. Hendrick, and Jeffery A. Ogden, both of Arizona State University (Tempe, Ariz.) was to provide descriptive statistics on senior purchasing and supply managers compensation patterns at a point in time.
