MANAGING A PORTFOLIO OF SUPPLIER RELATIONS IN INTERNET-DRIVEN ELECTRONIC MARKET PLACES

摘要

Corporative buying has changed from simple purchasing to e-sourcing, which means transforming the interaction between companies from transactional to relational relations. The following paper presents the conceptual framework of a supplier-buyer portfolio, when sourcing is done over the Internet. The perspective chosen is Supply Chain Management. Differing between three types of internet-driven electronic market places (private, consortia and independent e-market), different cooperative business relations have to be set up by supply management.
