- W766268009 abstract "This exposition summarises research published in several academic articles, in orderto meet the requirements of PhD by publication. The focus of the work is on the roleof electronic procurement in management of the purchasing function.From the late 1990s a number of independent e-procurement mechanisms werelaunched which offered potential benefits such as increased order accuracy,transaction efficiency and greater integration between trading partners. At the outsetof this programme of research, e-procurement was therefore an emergingphenomenon with little academic research and presented an opportunity toinvestigate a largely unexplored area. Edmondson and McManus (2007) suggest thatfor nascent, as opposed to mature areas of research, where few formal constructs ormeasures exist, an exploratory, qualitative approach is required. This researchfollowed such an approach through the use of case studies, involving observation,participation and interviews with key organisational actors. Each paper makes use ofseveral cases in order to compare and contrast results from different organisationsand to draw conclusions from multi-case analysis.The published articles focus on the impact of core applications within e-procurement,including online reverse auctions, electronic marketplaces, online catalogue sites,and buying systems covering the ‘requisition to pay’ cycle. The findings from thepapers address a number of core themes in purchasing management. In consideringbuyer-supplier relationships, it was observed that such dyads are driven by traditionalbuyer negotiation factors such as segmentation, power and price and that use of eprocurementapplications tended to enforce such traditional behaviours. In relation tothe potential for integration, the study found that integration between firms was barelyaffected, as the concept of integration was neither an objective nor a business casedriver for e-procurement adoption. This situation reflects the finding that procurementmanagers pursue functional targets rather than supply chain-level objectives.However, other significant effects from e-procurement adoption were noted such asthe tendency by buyers to reduce supplier numbers and a move to re-engineer theprocurement function in buying firms, through automating transactional processes.The research finds that e-procurement does not have a deterministic impact onpurchasing management, and that it acts as an enabler to more effectivemanagement of the function though the way its different mechanisms are deployed.The exposition establishes that e-procurement is used in relation to supply conditionswhich are characterised by both ‘markets’ and ‘hierarchies’, but that it is the predefinedpurchasing strategy of the firm, rather than available technology solutions,which determines when markets and hierarchies are used. Additionally, an originalmodel is introduced, focusing on developing an e-procurement policy which cansupport strategic purchasing goals. This model…" @default.
