A comparative analysis of product classification in public vs. private e-procurement

Year: 2005

Type: article

Abstract: : Product classification is an important tool for automating e-Procurement processes in the private sector, whereas public e-Procurement does not emphasize this function. This paper reports on the methodology and results of a comparative analysis of product classification in public vs. private e-Procurement. We define criteria for assessing the current state of respective standards, such as CPV, eCl@ss, and UNSPSC. The in-depth analysis of two representative standards reveals fundamental differences and shortcomings, which can partly be attributed to different objectives and priorities of public and private sector organizations.
