Contracts Management Specialist: The A to Z of Contract Management

Since the contracts are at the core of all commercial transactions, good contract management is a core competency of successful organisations. The effective expenditure of money and resources is dependent on successful contract management activities – selecting the appropriate models, understanding the legal principles of creating a contract, managing each partys rights and obligations, and dealing with claims and disputes are all key areas within this discipline.
