The “Mental Revolution” of the Public Procurement Specialist: Achieving Transformative Impacts within the Context of E-Procurement
Abstract
This chapter suggests an original perspective for delineating the role played by procurement specialists within the context of the efforts to redefine digital public procurement as a major pylon in the transformation of governance. Although in the last two decades scholars have provided an abundance of quality academic accounts addressing the possible transformative benefits of e-procurement, more often than not, public procurement specialists remain a mere afterthought within such discussions. In this chapter, it is argued that the digitalization of public procurement will sustain the desired transformative returns only if these efforts are accompanied by a reformative evolution of public procurement professionals. Paradoxically, transformation at the individual level is found to be the key element for instituting genuine changes and effectively employing digital decision-making support systems in public procurement.
