Asiimwe Susan, Otim John William


Abstract

E-Procurement is more than just a system for making purchases online. It has been advocatedas a key performance indicator that can improve performance and competence of firms. Some companies implement e-procurement and succeed while others fail. This study had four objectives: to determine the influence data transmission on organizational performance; to determine the influence of buyer/supplier collaboration on organizational performance, to examine the influence of systems management on organizational performance and to establish the influence of billing management on organizational performance of Nansana Municipality. The study adopted a descriptive approach to establish the influence of e-procurement on organizationalperformance. Keeping other factors constant, a one percent increase in electronic buyer/supplier collaboration would on average lead to 0.224 increase in organizational management. This is statistically significant at 95% confidence since the P-value (0.015) is less than 0.05 and thus we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a significant relationship between electronic buyer/supplier collaboration and organizational management. The study also recommends that future research will need to be carried in other industries and countries in order to show if the link between eprocurement components and organizational performance can be generalized. These findings of the study will enable managers in organizations to formulate e-procurement policies that will ensure a positive impact on strategic performance of the firms.
