Domestic Smes To Global E-procurement Model Analysis, Strategy And Prospects

From the perspective of the middle–or- small-scale enterprises, this thesis takes the purchase as the subject matter, analyzing its main characteristics and main purchasing models, describing the concrete periods of its development, suggesting the suitable way of their E-Procurement and foreseeing the prospect of the globle E-Procurement.The traditional related theories have shown us the basic way to perform the procurement, however, with the development of procurement, it began to extend globally. It is called cross-country procurement.IT Times has come. We're entering a totally new world which is on the basis of E-Commerce. In this new world, procurement is required to change to meet the need of the times. When enterprisers start to use ERP or other soft wares and Internet to purchase the necessary products or resources, E-Procurement is then created. Indeed, E-procurement provides a new way to develop for those middle-or- small-scale enterprises in China, which seldom have chances to purchase overseas now.However, though E-Procurement is very popular now, it is necessary to find their own way of development in accordance with those enterprises' special characteristics.So it is suggested that those enterprises or companies should choose the most suitable way of E-procurement and the most proper strategies to develop. There are some creative ideas in this thesis:Usually, when talking about E-procurement, most people would relate it to those large-scale enterprises or just consider it as the task of the government. However the middle-or-small-scale enterprises or companies also need to find proper method to perform E-Procurement, because actually they have great potential to develop in this field. Therefore this thesis focuses on them and tries to find the best way for them to purchase through E-Business.In this thesis, E-Procurement is not only a kind of technique but also a strategy which can help those middle-or-small-scale enterprises to find the key to success in the future. Purchase does not only involve buyers but also suppliers who are equally very important in the whole process of E-Procurement. It's not a game just for buyers. Meanwhile the role of enterprises can be considered in a flexible way. Usually enterprises play the double roles in the process of E-Procurement, that is, they are buyers and, at the same time, they are also suppliers when facing the different cooperators. So the thesis makes their strategies of E-Procurement by considering these two aspects. Therefore, the thesis divides the strategies of E-Procurement into two parts, that is, "coming in" and "going out". There are also some weak points in this paper, of course. But it is hoped that this research can provide a bit help to those middle-or-small-scale enterprises about their future development!...
