Postures of the Mind was first published in 1985.

Annette Baier delivers an appeal for our fundamental moral notions to be governed not by rules and codes but by trust: a moral prejudice.

Purchasing and supply management (PSM) has developed into a discipline of major strategic importance for effectively competing in today’s global marketplace. To leverage PSM’s strategic value creation potential, the decisions and activities of the purchasing function must be aligned with the firm’s overall strategic orientation. Despite general agreement on the matter, research and practice lack knowledge on how exactly such an alignment can be achieved and what performance implications it has. Christian Baier empirically investigates the alignment performance link in PSM.
