TL;DR: An in-depth analysis of supply and demand dynamics aiming to characterize supply risks shows an important increase in global capacity in 2017: supply is sufficient to meet forecasted BCG vaccine demand and possibly buffer market shocks.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that project responsibilities, which currently are delineated along professional identity lines, produce design and construction solutions that fail to fulfil the potential of D&B procurement, and suggest that addressing cultural interoperability will require a fundamental and long term reshaping of the industry's structure, beginning with the professional bodies and the higher education system that un...
Abstract: The success of the design and build (D&B) procurement route could be undermined by issues arising from the rigid professional cultures of individual participants within project workgroups. These have the potential to inhibit the achievement of a key espoused benefit of D&B procurement, i.e. that it promotes the integration of the design and construction processes for improved project performance. Cultural non-interoperability is identified as a significant potential barrier to effective change management, and to the achievement of innovation within the design and construction processes. This note argues that project responsibilities, which currently are delineated along professional identity lines, produce design and construction solutions that fail to fulfil the potential of D&B procurement. It is suggested that addressing cultural interoperability will require a fundamental and long term reshaping of the industry's structure, beginning with the professional bodies and the higher education system that un...

TL;DR: A new theoretical model is developed to analyze the adoption of e-procurement systems from the buyer’s perspective, to explore the set of conditions under which the buyer will prefer to procure via an electronic market instead of using proprietary extranet connections.
Abstract: E-procurement systems are computer systems and communication networks through which firms buy and sell products. We identify two types of e-procurement systems: extranets and e-markets. Extranets connect the buyer and its suppliers with a closed network, while e-markets create open networks for buyer and supplier interactions. The differences between them lie in system implementation costs, marketplace benefits, and the extent of supplier competitive advantage that develops due to information sharing. In this article, we develop a new theoretical model to analyze the adoption of e-procurement systems from the buyer's perspective, to explore the set of conditions under which the buyer will prefer to procure via an electronic market instead of using proprietary extranet connections. The primary finding is that a buyer will adopt an e-market approach when the supplier's competitive advantage derived from access to strategic information is modest compared with the marketplace benefits less the channel costs. In addition, we find that the buyer is likely to have a bigger trading network with an e-market than with an extranet in order to capture the greatest available benefits. Overall, this study offers guidelines for managers to design and select e-procurement channels to fit different procurement needs.
