摘要

The paper presents a survey of current industry practices in designing and running auctions as part of e-sourcing events. We report our findings from numerous interviews with auction makers in leading e-sourcing application vendors. The differences between auction theory and auction practice pose a number of interesting and important research questions for the Operations Management community; we conclude with a discussion of lessons learned and open research questions.
