Abstract: Over the last couple of years, e-Procurement has received tremendous attention from researchers and practitioners alike. However research on e-Procurement is still scarce and scattered. This paper looks into prior research on interorganizational information systems (IOIS), electronic data interchange (EDI), channel management and procurement to develop a research framework and identify research issues in e-Procurement defining important terms such as volume, width and depth of e-Procurement and classifying the ownership and governance structures of web-based IOIS. It is argued that supply market characteristics and product characteristics can explain emergence of various e-Procurement systems. Further these e-Procurement systems have different impact on interorganizational relationship and value generated from e-Procurement. However these impacts are moderated by adoption and implementation risks. This paper also summarizes the main benefits of an organization using e-Procurement and also their disadvantages and limitations.
