Electronic transportation marketplaces: a transaction cost perspective

Internet-based applications in the agri-food supply chain: a survey on the Greek canning sector

“…Applying Internet-based applications in transportation, supported by an Electronic Transportation Marketplace (ETM) can result in many advantages for the shipper (E-logistics, 2002). ETM supports Internet-based services, provided by intermediaries, in order to bring together buyers and sellers of transportation (Goldsby & Eckert, 2002). During the season, a fruit canning company, due to the nature of the industry (seasonality of production, perishable nature of product, weather dependency, and difficulties in production and demand forecasting) collaborates with a number of transporters resulting in increased transaction costs and managerial work.…”

Designing an electronic auction market for complex ‘smart parts’ logistics: Options based on LeBaron's computational stock market

“…Even so, in his review of electronic supply-chain research, Grieger (2003, p. 280) says: 'The supply chain dimension of an EM is largely neglected and poorly managedy'. Now we see evidence of a more pervasive interest in managing supply-chain EMs (Goldsby and Eckert, 2003;Anandalingam et al, 2005;Nair, 2005;Nault and Dexter, 2006;Agrali et al, 2008).…”

“…Examples are auctions concerning shipping lanes (Ledyard et al, 2002), airport take-off and landing slots (Ball et al, 2006), electricity markets (O'Neill et al, 2005), goods and services (Wu and Kleindorfer, 2005), and supply-chain auctions in general (Chen et al, 2005). Besides complexity, a problem mentioned in the EM literature pertains to the likelihood that EMs are subject to the typical human perversions that lead to collusive bidding (Goldsby and Eckert, 2003;Anandalingam et al, 2005;Nair, 2005).…”

How buyers' expected benefits, perceived risks, and e-business readiness influence their e-marketplace usage

“…E-procurement process risks refer to the security and control of the e-procurement process itself. Finally, focusing on electronic transportation marketplaces, Goldsby and Eckert (2003) address some potential inhibitors to EM usage decision including information sensitivity and weak capabilities in verifying information about processes and partners.…”
