Resumo(s)
The research focuses on identifying key factors that drive companies to centralise procurement.
Using a comprehensive literature review and a survey of procurement experts, the study
develops and tests a conceptual framework that categorizes determinants into three main
dimensions: supply side factors, internal factors, and market side factors. The survey findings
suggest a significant influence of these factors on the decision to centralise procurement, with
differences observed across company sizes and respondent experience levels. This research
contributes to academic knowledge and practical applications in procurement strategy,
providing insights to help firms optimize procurement functions in a changing global
environment.
