“…The impact of supply management on the firm's performance has frequently been discussed in the past (Chen, Paulraj, and Lado 2004;Bernardes and Zsidisin 2008;Baier, Hartmann, and Moser 2008). However, we note that the performance impact of the purchasing structure has only infrequently been studied thus far.…”

This paper presents the results of a comprehensive literature review of the organization of purchasing covering the period from 1967 to 2009. The review provides a structured overview of prior research topics and findings and identifies gaps in the existing literature that may be addressed in future research. The intention of the review is to a) synthesize prior research, b) provide researchers with a structural framework on which future research on the organization of purchasing may be oriented, and c) suggest promising areas for future research.

“…Purchasing has increasingly assumed a pivotal strategic role and has been subjected to theoretical and empirical scrutiny (Chen et al 2004, Ellram et al 2002. However, until recently, most purchasing drivers have been identified as being value-for-money factors such as price, cost, quality performance and other issues in procurement decision-making which have historically been regarded as contributing directly to profitability.…”

“…As a consequence, the role of strategic purchasing is well documented: it is to build cross-functional, interorganisational relationships. As Chen et al (2004) explain in their research model, strategic purchasing can engender competitive advantage by enabling firms to (a) foster close working relationships with a limited number of suppliers; (b) promote open communication among supply-chain partners; and (c) develop longterm strategic relationship orientation to achieve mutual gains.…”

Sustainability issues in purchasing are receiving greater attention. Literature is rapidly growing, with several research programs being initiated to investigate the topic. This study presents the results of a research project which aims to reveal and structure the motivating forces leading companies to make efforts in sustainability purchasing and the means used to attain achievements in some fields of sustainability. Results presented in the literature are scattered in terms of the fields of sustainability: most of the studies focus only on green or corporate social responsibility issues and there is a lack of exploratory models. Sustainability in purchasing is addressed in a comprehensive way including green, social responsibility and corporate growth issues. After presenting the results of a literature review, theoretical development was undertaken to create a framework in which it is possible to describe the means of sustainability applied and the motivating forces behind them. This framework serves as the basis for an empirical investigation among Hungarian companies. Empirical results confirm the usefulness of the theoretical framework: the number and the characteristics of sustainability activities were determined by the particular types of motivation -to avoid negative effects, to achieve compliance with expectations and to attain positive effects.

“…Outrossim, decisões de seleção de fornecedores têm se tornado estratégicas no GCS, pois as compras de fornecedores representam cerca de 40 a 60% do preço de venda Sevkli, Koh, Zaim, Demirbag, & Tatoglu, 2008). No entanto cabe ressaltar que a função compras tem incorporado um caráter estratégico devido, principalmente, ao papel dos fornecedores no processo de criação de valor da empresa (Chen, Paulraj, & Lado, 2004).…”

O objetivo do presente artigo é identificar na literatura quais são os principais critérios considerados no processo de decisão, os principais métodos individuais e combinados e os subproblemas da seleção de fornecedores no contexto multicritério. Cabe ressaltar que as tarefas de avaliar e identificar os melhores fornecedores para um novo produto ou serviço são essenciais ao gerenciamento da cadeia de suprimentos (GCS). Para executá-las apropriadamente, considerando-se a natureza multicritério da seleção de fornecedores, torna-se necessária a inclusão de uma abordagem de agregação dos critérios, cuja escolha depende basicamente dos objetivos da decisão, tipos de critérios a serem utilizados e racionalidade do decisor. Para atingir o objetivo proposto, optou-se por utilizar o procedimento da revisão sistemática da literatura que segue o protocolo proposto por Cronin, Ryan e Coughlan (2008), abrangendo artigos publicados nas bases ISI Web of Knowledge e Scopus, no período de 2001 a 2012. Além de sintetizar o conhecimento acerca do tema, o artigo ressalta os principais critérios, métodos e subproblemas da seleção de fornecedores, com isso, contribui ao identificar os aspectos que devem ser desenvolvidos em estudos futuros e ao apresentar aos gestores abordagens existentes para a tomada de decisões relativa à seleção de fornecedores de forma sistematizada.
