The applicability of e-procurement in the UK public sector: an exploratory analysis
No full textIn recent years, interest in e-procurement systems has grown significantly, as commercial organisations have made substantial efficiency gains across the purchasing function through the application of such systems. However, the public sector and in particular government agencies have made relatively little progress towards the adoption of this technology. This research presents an exploratory study, which focuses on the application of e-procurement systems in the public sector. More specifically, the study seeks to explore the readiness of Public Sector organisations in terms of technology, process, people and compliance strategy by adopting an instrumental case study approach. The key findings suggest that the agency in question is not currently in a state of ‘readiness’ for e-procurement adoption. Additionally, a number of barriers exist that are likely to impede the rate of progress towards successful implementation.

Towards rebuilding the highstreet: Learning from customers’ town centre shopping journeys
No full textPatronage in town centres has been fluctuating over the past few years, indicating that consumers are buying elsewhere in pursuit of better and more fulfilling shopping experiences. This is concerning as patronage is considered an indicator of high streets vitality and viability. To help understand the changing patterns of patronage, especially related to the growth in online retail spending, this study sheds light on key touchpoints that influence the town centre shopping experience. Using the customer journey framework and drawing insights from datasets of two central UK regions, we provide new contribution to town centre research by capturing significant and specific physical and digital touchpoints in the town centre shopping journey, thus developing our understanding of the determinants of the town centre shopping experience. Consequently, this work provides recommendations for town centre management to help improve town centre patronage by developing customers’ experience with shopping-specific touchpoints
