Your textbook identifies key areas in executing purchases, and your PMBOK Guide reading for the week discusses strategies for overall project risk. Address the following in this discussion:

  3. Provide      examples, citing different examples than those provided in your textbooks,      in your lecture material, and by your classmates.
  4. Support      your positions with at least one current (no older than five years)      scholarly source, beyond the course materials and textbooks.
