The big question I still want to ask about e-sourcing is: does it really work?
Let me explain.
E-sourcing is the phenomenon that enables buyers and suppliers to interact online. On the surface, it may seem an ideal tool to expand the supply base and open up a myriad of new supply options.
Online shopping is dramatically on the rise. We might expect to see a similar increase in ‘shopping’ in the workplace and procuring goods and services for the company, using similar technological methods. But this isn’t happening. Why not?
