90th Annual International Conference Proceedings - 2005 - San Antonio, TX

Abstract

This paper supports a workshop to be held at the 90th Annual ISM International Purchasing Conference to be held in San Antonio, TX from May 8 through 11, 2005. A large number of data resources have been developed to provide key decision makers with the information needed to advance their businesses. However, despite efforts like ERP systems, e-Sourcing tools and even Procurement Cards, the information has created more confusion than results.
