abstract |
<i>Purpose</i>: 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 e-procurement within the public sector.<br></br><br></br>
<i>Design/methodology/approach</i>: This analysis was achieved through five in-depth
case studies – based upon extensive interviews, observation and documentation reviews
- conducted within central and local government organisations.<br></br><br></br>
<i>Findings</i>: The study shows that despite being very different in terms of their
form and function, each of our five case study organisations had achieved similar
levels of progress in terms of their adoption of e-procurement technologies. In short
every organisation had already adopted BACS, all five were also actively planning
to implement: e-tendering; e-award; e-contract and e-catalogue systems, but none had
any intention of adopting e-marketplaces or e-auctions.<br></br><br></br>
<i>Research limitation/implications</i>: The results of this study will help individual
organisations to better understand their current situations and the barriers that
will need to be overcome before they can significantly expand their adoption of e-procurement
technologies.<br></br><br></br>
<i>Originality/value</i>: In addition to presenting one of the first detailed studies
of the adoption of e-procurement technologies, this study also breaks new ground through
its use of the lens of "Institutional theory" to help interpret the findings. |
