An Investigation of E-Procurements Risks
Ben Galloway, Rodger Jamieson · Journal of the Association for Information Systems · 2003
“…e-Commerce is like marriage; both have to get some benefit out of it to work…’” Consultant \tThe aim of this paper is to present an interpretation of the risk issues currently concerning e-Procurement. In \tseeking to explore a developing area of theory, the current perception of practitioners has been investigated and \treconciled with existing related literature. This was approached through in-depth interviews with a variety of \tstakeholders in organisations that have embarked upon e-Procurement.\tAfter developing a literature-based \ttaxonomy, current perceptions and practices were reviewed and refined, providing a foundation for the further \tdevelopment of a system for classification of key risks in e-Procurement, and a guide towards identification of \trisks and best practice.
