The academic contribution to procurement debate
“Academic research in purchasing and supply management is needed since, as an academic
community, we feel the need to contribute to insight into and describe patterns of human behavior in
organisations or networks against different contextual backgrounds. We need to contribute and build theories through which we can better understand purchasing and supply chain management phenomena. … to provide
managers with some clear guidelines to make better decisions in these areas.”
(van Weele 2007, JPSM, pp.204-205)

Suggestions for improvement1. Current and future problem orientated
As opposed to ‘this is what practitioners do’2. Implications for practitioners
Should be a focus not an after-thought ‘lean research’ user pulled
3. Take, sell, give to the practitioners – proactive marketing4. Use Plain English
Magnetic titles e.g. ‘That’s the team spirit’ van Weele and Driedonks
5. Use social media 6. Reflect on diffusion of innovation
e.g. Lean is only now becoming a hot topic! How do we ensure old publications can be found now?
7. Increase validity Less procurement manager dependent
8. Open up the IPSERA website with ‘free link’ to IPSERA presentations9. Maximise potential of JPSM Notes and Debates10. Be part of the ‘community’
