Hi and thanks for leaving a comment. You may want to structure the department according to category or type of vendors managed. For instance, a Creative Service department may have subsections to manage graphic design, printing, or marketing vendors. Functional type, geographic area, and other methods can break a VM organization or department into subsections, but the actually structure really depends on what will work best for your company. Good luck and thanks for leaving a comment!

Hi Jegede,

Who manages vendors will depend on the managerial structure of a company. Some larger companies have Vendor Manger Specialists to oversee vendors. Otherwise, it may be incorporated in the job description of the department head of the individual department that uses vendor services and from there delegated as needed.

Hello Donna, your articles are really educative. Judging by recent and growing outsourcing practices in organisations,who takes the responsibility for vendor management? I'm waiting to read you and do have a lovely Easter.

Hi Cheese,

It's really a shame when businesses treat vendors like that. Glad to know our article helps a little. Thanks for reading here at LoveToKnow Business.

Wow, great to run into this article. I am a vendor and provided services to a new client. After everything was paid and many hours were put in, the client switches on us without prior notice and demands a full refund. Plus, disrepectfully critizes every conversation ever made and informs that they originally wanted to work with one specific gender. In my observation, this person has been disrespectful to other vendors outside our industry. Nice to know we don't need to be treated this way and smile.
