In the modern environment competition has shifted from companies to supply chains and suppliers’ impact on firm performance has increased consistently. Vendor evaluation systems lie at the intersection of three disciplines: purchasing management, supply chain management, and performance measurement. Extant literature especially focuses on vendor rating tools from a mathematical modelling standpoint, whereas firms are mostly concerned with guidelines necessary to design vendor evaluation systems. The present study develops an encompassing research framework to investigate vendor evaluation systems by means of multiple case studies.

Abstract
In the modern environment competition has shifted from companies to supply chains and suppliers’ impact on firm performance has increased consistently. Vendor evaluation systems lie at the intersection of three disciplines: purchasing management, supply chain management, and performance measurement. Extant literature especially focuses on vendor rating tools from a mathematical modelling standpoint, whereas firms are mostly concerned with guidelines necessary to design vendor evaluation systems. The present study develops an encompassing research framework to investigate vendor evaluation systems by means of multiple case studies. Several insights are drawn in terms of system benefits and characteristics driving such benefits.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
