An e-Procurement Model for B2B Exchanges and the Role of e-Markets

Overview This paper will present an e-procurement model to facilitate online B2B exchanges. Large organizations in Australia and around the world are increasingly implementing e-procurement, which has increased the need for services of intermediaries such as 'e-markets' to facilitate the process. However, both being new and unproven require theories and models to support their roles in the online procurement process. The model provides a framework to reduce procurement costs to both buyer and supplier by addressing e-enabled strategic marketplace sourcing, e-enabled supply chain and e-enabled acquisition and purchase to pay process. The role of e-markets that act as trusted intermediaries between the buyer and supplier are also discussed.
