Paper Abstract:
|
In the United Kingdom there is a significant amount of interest in the area of electronic procurement in both the central
and local government agendas. This paper suggests Jane Fountains (2001) concept of technology enactment, as a
guiding framework to analyse the implementation and impacts of e-procurement technologies within public sector
institutions. Within this context the implementation of e-procurement technologies can only be understood as part of the
broader public sectors socio-technical mechanisms. Individuals and public sector institutions enact e-procurement
technologies by their interpretation, design, implementation, and use of them in their specific organisational/institutional
settings. |
