THE BARRIERS OF IMPLEMENTING E-PROCUREMENT

Summary/Abstract: The concept of e-procurement has many different meanings ranging from shopping on the internet (through reverse auction) to collaborative initiatives taking place in virtual meetings. There are many forms of e-procurement that can be found in the literature. In this paper we define the most important forms of e-procurement. Next, we present the main barriers of implementing an e-procurement found in the literature. Furthermore, we present a matrix with the main barriers of e-procurement classified in four main categories. Finally, we elaborated for managers some guidelines in order to overcome the barriers of implementing e-procurement.
