Abstract: We conduct a structured survey among Chinese firms in the City of Suzhou on the adoption of e-procurement systems. We analytically mine the data to explore the impact of operations as well as supply chain performance measures on organisational behavioural intention to adopt e-procurement systems. The results demonstrate that a series of operations and supply chain performance measures, such as expected improved supply chain efficiency, improved operational efficiency, and reduced inventory level, are critical drivers for the adoption of e-procurement systems among Chinese companies. The findings highlight the importance of operations and supply chain performance benefits of an e-procurement systems as well as the importance of strategic marketing by e-procurement systems vendors to promote those benefits.
