Features: The purpose of writing this book is to provide practical guidance for online procurement. It not only introduces the basic knowledge of online procurement but also analyzes many other issues that may severely affect the development of online procurement. We believe this is necessary for two reasons: first, many senior managers, after seeing negative reports on the risks of online transactions, seem to have restricted relevant personnel from engaging in this activity; second, no one can determine the development model of online procurement in the next five or ten years. Some articles suggest the potential for continuous cost savings in e-commerce, but most raise questions. If these questions are fully accepted, they reveal serious obstacles to the development and operation of business principles. The widespread application of network technology has made e-commerce full of huge business potential. Online procurement is a very important part of e-commerce. This book not only introduces the basic knowledge of online procurement but also analyzes many other issues that may severely affect its development. The book is divided into two parts. Part I is the Practical Guide, which focuses on the development of online procurement in recent years, explains the basic content of online procurement in detail, and introduces the online procurement process step by step. The second part is Discussion of Issues, which elaborates on some issues that restrict the development of online procurement in detail. This book is a combination of theory and practice, with practical and operational characteristics.
