Positive and negative impacts of the adoption of e-procurement solutions: the Italian market case
Abstract
This paper aims to define the positive and negative impacts of the adoption of e-procurement solutions in both the private and public sectors of the Italian market. The cases of two leading Italian companies in e-procurement solutions have been analysed as these two companies have developed more than 150 e-procurement projects and effectively represent the situation in the Italian market. This study fulfils the need for solid empirical findings on this very important topic within the Italian market where the adoption of e-procurement solutions is still at an early stage and guidance is still needed on how this solution can impact on firm performance.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
