abstract: The advantages of undertaking a linkage strategy are compelling; as more hospitals consider such, the material manager should be poised to capitalize upon strategic advantages afforded by such an occurrence and implement them. The very actions undertaken by this vital position within the organization could very easily determine the degree of success realized by a linkage strategy.
