“…transparency, order discounts and price efficiency) as well as external business innovation such as new market penetration (Benton, 2007). E-procurement promotes better management of information and knowledge of suppliers, better control of supplier operations, (Muffatto and Payaro, 2004). In addition, e-procurement may result in increased speed, quantity and quality of information processing, especially with international suppliers (Essig and Arnold, 2001.…”

This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Although the technological dimensions in manufacturing strategy such advanced manufacturing technology (AMT) and e-procurement do not have any direct impacts on new product and market flexibility, they increase supply chain responsiveness, which helps to react quickly against supply chain disruptions. More importantly, the business environment has a moderating effect on the relationship between market flexibility and supply chain responsiveness. Permanent repository link

“…Croom (2000) identified four main benefits: lower procurement process cost, greater visibility on expenditure control, increase in procurement control and benefits from managing suppliers. E-procurement promotes better management of information and knowledge of suppliers and better control of supplier operations (Muffatto and Payaro, 2004). E-procurement may result in greater transparency in procurement (Puschmann and Alt, 2005); increased speed, quantity and quality of information processing (Essig and Arnold, 2001).…”

This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Permanent repository link A Contextual Analysis of the Impact of Strategic Sourcing and Eprocurement on PerformanceAbstract Purpose -The objective of this study is to investigate the relationships among strategic sourcing, e-procurement and firm performance, along with the moderating effects of business characteristics and environmental factors on these relationships.Design / Methodology / Approach. -This empirical investigation relies on structured survey responses from 137 managers of US manufacturing firms. The partial least squares based structural equation modeling approach is used for data analysis.Findings -The research results confirm that both strategic sourcing and e-procurement have a positive effect on firm performance. In addition, e-procurement is also found to have a positive impact on strategic sourcing. In addition, the research results suggest that business characteristics and the environment, especially the degree of competition, market turbulence, firm size, and stage in product life cycle moderate these relationships significantly. The positive effects of strategic sourcing and e-procurement on firm performance are particularly enhanced under the right conditions.Research limitations / Implications. -Like most past empirical studies, this study also relies on subjective responses from key executives. Like most prior research, supply chain-related questions are sought to be answered through responses from a single, focal firm in the supply chain.Originality / Value. -This research is the first, to the best of our knowledge, in providing insights into the joint effects of strategic sourcing and e-procurement, and how business characteristics and the environment affect their roles on firm performance. In addition, firm performance is evaluated as a multi-dimensional construct involving financial, operational and supply chain aspects, with the measurements consisting of several second-order constructs. The study makes both theoretical and practical contributions.

“…Based upon a careful review of the literature it was possible to identify the following key elements of the model [see figure 1], which would help to explain an organisation"s adoption practices: It must be reiterated that the vast majority of the literature that helped us to develop this model related to the experiences of private sector organisations. From this literature, we tend to get a picture of organisations that are very conscious of the potential benefits of eprocurement technology, and see it as an obvious solution to the problems they are experiencing with their existing purchasing processes Consequently, they have typically been keen to adopt such technologies, as long as their internal situation, in terms of the balance between drivers and inhibitors, appears favourable [Muffato and Payaro, 2004]. However, private and public sector procurement is different in a number of key respects: public sector procurement is often hidebound by formalised, bureaucratic and rigid procedures [Spiller, 2008], and constrained by political imperatives [Murray, 2009].…”

Purpose: The primary aim of the research presented in this paper is to address the gap in the literature with regard to the factors that affect the uptake and application of eprocurement within the public sector. Design/methodology/approach: This analysis was achieved through five in-depth case studies -based upon extensive interviews, observation and documentation reviewsconducted within central and local government organisations.
