“…Results from Gunasekeran [10] show that the better utilisation of staff had a mean score of 2.5, other variables such as 1) increased efficiencies; 2) improved relationships with suppliers; 3) increased customer satisfaction and 4) the reduction in transactional costs had mean ratings <3.0. Similarly, Kothari et al [15] experienced comparable outcomes. This indicates that at an operational level, organisations are yet to attain the benefits of e-procurement.…”

“…Second, facing the competitive virtual environment, previous research found that pricing, trust in an online shopping relationship (Kim et al 2013b;Madapusi and D'Souza 2012), and product characteristics are important factors that influence the decision of joining a purchasing group (González-Benito 2007). Many have not yet analyzed the role of the suppliers of food service companies, which trade and exchange information on the Internet through the B2C e-marketplace (Kothari et al 2005). Third, this study aims to elucidate how customer orientation and supply chain partnership affect the operational performance of food service companies based on buyer and supplier relationship.…”

The research goal of this study was to investigate how supply chain partnerships and customer orientation affect the operational performance of food service companies by moderating flexibility. In total, 725 invitation messages were mailed to members of Ihergo, Groupon, 17P, of which, 166 were returned (a return rate of 22.9 %). Structured equation modeling with PLS analysis allows empirical assessment of the measurement model used in this study. Companies will redefine their business models by connecting suppliers' and customers' view, and by integrating customers' opinions and queries for the planning and development of new products. Linkage efficiency suppliers will reduce inventory and decrease perishable for food service companies based on the driving force to buy in the virtual environment. Product innovation and reduction of the time to market by supplier integration and customer integration are important to food service companies, and flexibility plays an important role in food service companies.

I AcknowledgmentsI would like to thank all the people that helped me in this project:Thank you to Professor Bráulio Alturas for their guidance and exceptional support.To my company PT-SI for all their openness and contribution during the master.To Ana for their support, patience and dissertation review.To Tiago for his suggestions and for providing me other points of view especially in the statistical field.To José Neves for the excellent site of questionnaires that supported the whole process of data collection.To all PT-SI consultants for their help and comments on the best way to pose questions to the companies inquired.For my family for their comprehension and support during this past year.To Professor Pedro Ramos for helping me to find a mentor in the initial phase of this work.To all companies that participated in the questionnaire, for their inputs that contributed greatly to this research.II Abstract E-procurement systems make purchasing activities more effective in terms of both time and cost. However over the past years there is evidence that some of the expected benefits have not been achieved. Among several appointed causes, supplier"s adherence to such platforms has been regarded as one. The focus of this research is in supplier adoption of e-Procurement.Such a study is important in order to better address the issues actually faced by suppliers within e-Procurement. We have conducted a questionnaire-based survey to 721 Portuguese companies and performed an empirical analysis of the results. The findings from this work provide empirical evidence that the supplier perceived benefits and business partner pressures are positively related to e-Procurement adoption while some barriers like implementation costs have the opposite effect. The main critical success factors on e-Procurement adoption are also presented.Keywords: e-Procurement, Collaboration, e-Commerce, e-Business. III ResumoOs sistemas de e-Procurement permitem melhorias significativas no tempo e custo associados aos processos de compra. No entanto, nos últimos anos existe evidência de que alguns dos benefícios esperados não têm sido alcançados. Entre as várias causas apontadas, a falta de adesão dos fornecedores a esse tipo de plataformas foi apontada como uma. O foco desta pesquisa está na adopção dos fornecedores ao e-Procurement, mais especificamente nos factores que levam a sua adesão. Foi realizado um questionário a 721 empresas Portuguesas e os dados obtidos analisados. Os resultados deste trabalho fornecem evidências de que os benefícios percebidos pelos fornecedores e as pressões dos parceiros de negócios estão positivamente relacionados com a intenção de adopção, enquanto algumas barreiras, como custos de implementação têm o efeito oposto. Os principais factores críticos de sucesso na adesão ao e-Procurement são também apresentados.Palavras-chave: e-Procurement, colaboração, comércio electrónico, e-Business.
