Abstract

How does purchasing develops as a discipline over time in large international organisations? What are the drivers and enablers behind the development of purchasing? Is there an ideal growthpath for purchasing in organisations? These subjects are discussed in this paper by, firstly, providing an overview of current literature and analysing the models which have been published in management literature. Based on our analysis we propose an integrated framework which may help practitioners in developing their future courses of action with regard to purchasing and supply strategy and organisation. Currently, this framework is tested through empirical research.
