An analysis of research on the future of purchasing and supply management

Business organisations are going through rapid external environmental and internal organisational changes due to increasing globalisation, E-business, and outsourcing. As a result, the future of purchasing and supply management—as a function within organisations, as a process that spans organisation boundaries and as a profession—raises important concerns for both organisations and the purchasing professional. This paper considers a broad and rather fragmented body of empirical evidence and analyses 42 relevant empirical studies on the future of purchasing and supply management. The major findings are reported in terms of changes in business contexts, purchasing strategy, structure, role and responsibility, system development and skills. Cross-sectional comparative analyses were also conducted to examine variation by sector, firm type, people's roles in purchasing, and country. A number of major implications for the purchasing function, process and professional bodies are presented together with suggestions for future research to address significant gaps in the current body of knowledge.

Fenntartható fejlődés = Sustainability issues in purchasing and supply management

A fenntarthatóság kérdését a vállalati működésben számos kutatás elemzi. A vizsgálatokat azonban érdemes kiterjeszteni a vállalatokat beszállítóikkal összekötő kapcsolatrendszerre és az annak menedzseléséért felelős beszerzésre is, hiszen a nagy vállalatok beszerzési döntései jelentős értékükön keresztül fontos motiváló erőt jelentenek a beszállító vállalatok egy sokkal szélesebb hálózata számára. Tanulmányunk célja áttekinteni a fenntarthatóság három pillérjének beszerzési értelmezésének lehetőségeit, ehhez kapcsolódva bemutatni azokat a motivációs tényezőket, amelyek biztosíthatják azt, hogy a beszerzés a gyakorlatban is kezelni tudja a fenntarthatóság szempontjait. A bemutatott eredmények az irodalom feltérképezésén alapszanak, és egy olyan kutatás részét képezik, melynek során vállalati beszerzési szakembereket kérdezünk a fenntartható beszerzéssel kapcsolatos vállalati gyakorlatról és tapasztalataikról. A kutatás a Budapesti Corvinus Egyetemen folyó „Versenyben a világgal” kutatási program keretében készült. = Sustainability issues in literature are getting more and more attention. In this study the focus is extended to purchasing and supplier relationships as companies influence their supply base by the priorities of their sourcing decision. This paper addresses sustainability in purchasing in a comprehensive way including green, social responsibility and corporate growth issues. The results of a research project which aims to reveal and structure the meaning of sustainable purchasing and the motivating forces leading companies to make efforts in purchasing for sustainability and means applied to attain achievements at some fields of sustainability. After presenting the results of literature review, some theory development was done to create a framework in which it is possible to describe the sustainability means applied and the motivating force behind. This framework serves as a basis of an empirical investigation among Hungarian companies. The empirical results validated the theoretical framework: the number and the characteristics of sustainability activities were determined by the type of motivation (to avoid negative effects, compliance to expectations, to attain positive effects). Our research project was part of the research project “In Global Competition”.

Beszerzés az innováció támogatásában = Involving purchasing in innovation management

Számos hazai kutatás foglalkozik az innováció alacsony szintjével a hazai vállalatoknál. Az innováció nemzetközi szakirodalma a fejlődés egyik fő tendenciájaként emeli ki a nyitott innováció (open innovation), a korai bevonás (early involvement) és a párhuzamos fejlesztés gyakorlatát. Ezek a megoldások (kutatásunk szempontjából közelítve a beszerzés és a beszállító bevonása az innováció korai szakaszába) hatékonyabbá teheti az innovációs folyamatot, mivel erőforrásokat vonhat be feloldva az innováció előtti akadályokat. Tanulmányunk a beszerzés szerepét elemzi az innovációban, igyekszik feltárni azokat a motivációs illetve gátló tényezőket, amelyek ezt a szerepet erősíthetik vagy gátolhatják. Vizsgálatunk kiterjed a vállalaton belüli és a beszállítói környezetre is. Vizsgáljuk azt az eszközrendszert is, amellyel a beszerzés az innováció támogatni, elősegíteni tudja. ____ Literature on innovation management highlight the role of early supplier involvement, open innovation and parallel model of innovation. Collaboration within the company and with suppliers is a common part of these concepts which makes innovation process more effective. This paper aims to investigate those factors that promotes and hinders the involvement of purchasing and suppliers into the innovations process. Based on literature review and interviews this paper aims to structure the supporting factors and applicable tools.

Beszállítók és a beszerzés a vállalati innovációban = Role of purchasing in innovation management

A dolgozat a beszállítónak az innovációban játszott szerepével kapcsolatos irodalmat rendszerezi, egy olyan kutatási keret kialakítása érdekében, amely túltekint a beszállítók innovációban szűken értelmezett szerepén. A szakirodalom elsősorban a beszállítók termékinnovációban játszott szerepével foglalkozik, ugyanakkor a beszerzési feladatok között számos más beszállítói kapcsolat menedzsmentje is szerepel, amelyek indirekt módon, de jelentős hatással lehetnek a vállalati versenyképesség alakulására. Célunk, építve az irodalom elemzés eredményeire és a Versenyképesség Kutatás adatainak elemzésére egy olyan keret kialakítása, melynek során ez a szerep és az ehhez alkalmazható eszközrendszer feltárható. _______________ This paper provides a literature review in order to build a theoretic framework which describes a broadened role of purchasing in innovation management. Literature deals in detail with the role of suppliers in new product development, however the role of purchasing in this process seldom is in focus. Our paper highlights those supplier relationships, which in an indirect way, but also support innovation, and through new solutions promote competitiveness. Built on literature results and survey data of Competitiveness Research Program of CUB, our aim was to initiate a research framework, in which it is possible to describe purchasing role in innovation and which may support identifying the appropriate means to be used.

The response to an ESL population boom in the Beaufort County, South Carolina school system: A case study

The purpose of this case study was to examine the why the English language learners (ELLs) in the Beaufort County, South Carolina school system have been so successful. This school system has recently experienced a boom in its ESL student population, and this population has performed very well on standardized tests. This study used critical theory as its theoretical framework and examined why the students have been successful rather than marginalized in Beaufort County schools. This phenomenon was investigated using semi-structured interviews with the ESOL Coordinator for Beaufort County, 4 ESL-lead teachers, and 6 mainstream teachers.^ Data were collected using semi-structured interviews with Sarah Owen, the Beaufort County ESOL, Gifted and Talented, and World Languages coordinator. Based on the results of her interview, 4 themes emerged that were used for the semi-structured interviews with ESOL and mainstream teachers. The interviews centered on the themes of ESL policy, ESL leadership, and teacher training. The ESL and mainstream teacher interviews also revealed several subthemes that included teacher attitude, why Beaufort County has been successful with the ELLs, and the teachers' recommendations for other schools systems trying to successfully accommodate a large ESL student population in mainstream classrooms. ^ The findings from the teachers' interviews revealed that additional training for the teachers without ESL experience helped them become comfortable instructing ELLs. This training should be conducted by the ESOL teachers for those without ESOL certification or endorsement. As the teachers had more training, they had better attitudes about teaching ESOL students in their classes. Finally, those who utilized the additional ESOL training and ESOL accommodations saw better student achievement in their classes.^ Based on the finding of this study, the researcher proposed a model for other school systems to follow in order to replicate the success of Beaufort County's ELLs. The implications of this study focus on other schools systems and why ELLs are not obtaining the same level of success as those in Beaufort County's schools. Finally, recommendations for further research are provided.^
