Supply chain management : new organizational practices for changing procurement realities / Poul Houman Andersen, Morten Rask. - Journal of Purchasing & Supply Management, 2003 - 83-95 pages. - Journal of purchasing and supply management, 2003, Vol.9 (2), p.83-95
How does the implementation of SCM strategies affect the organisation of procurement? Based on case study material of 15 Danish companies, this article develops a set of statements concerning the organisational role and job assignments of procurement in the light of SCM practice. For this purpose, we use an analytical technique known as the degree-of-freedom analysis. It is suggested that new organisational practices, such as key supply management, team-based management and changing skill requirements of purchasing personnel, may be an outcome of implementing SCM practices towards suppliers. Implications for theory and practice.
