Abstract

Over the past three decades, government has been making a steady push towards utilizing more entrepreneurial means of governance. This chapter explores one of those techniques and its proliferation in governments throughout the world – electronic procurement. Furthermore, it provides a deeper understanding of some of the most advanced governments that utilize electronic procurement. The findings suggest that there is broad implementation of electronic procurement throughout the world; however, it also shows that there is uneven implementation as far as details of adoption. It also discusses that cost is a primary reason for the adoption of e-procurement.
