Synopsis "Procurement Outsourcing in Small to Intermediate Companies: An Exploratory Study of the Barriers for Small European Companies to Implement Procurement Outsourcing"

Master's Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Supply, Production, Logistics, grade: B, Tongji University (SEM), language: English, abstract: From a theoretical stand point procurement outsourcing adds value to customers by bringing onboard the required knowhow and enabling them to focus their resources on their core competencies.

Another separate trend is the use of Master Vendors to optimize spend as the business model is suitable for companies of all size. A master Vendor provides procurement outsourcing on a very limited category as it aggregates supplier of lower tier offering it as a full service and an integrated solution. The drivers behind the expected changes are mainly the tense economic environment pushing companies to take bolder initiatives and the generalized implementation of management technics in small businesses. The most powerful identified driver is the SaaS (Software as a Service) Revolution: Affordable and high performant IT systems will be rolled out driving proc
