Abstract

An exploratory and empirical study was undertaken to discover the initial e-procurement experiences of firms. Applying the survey method and taking a participant sample from the membership of the Institute for Supply Management and Council for Supply Management Professionals (formerly Council of Logistics Management), this study presents hard data on the perceived and expected benefits from e-procurement, the types of goods and services purchased, the electronic solutions and environments used for purchasing, actual cost savings gained, business practices that encourage successful procurement, and obstacles to systems implementation.
