Abstract

In order for organisations to fully benefit from the procurement functions, supplier research is recommended so that key capabilities and mostly financial health of the supply base can be identified and added to the competitive advantage of the organisation over shadowing rival firms. This report explores and contrasts four research articles and case studies relating to four small businesses;
1. Shoe retailer
2. Local delicatessen
3. Computer systems and parts retailer
4. Retailer of gifts, toys and home accessories

The report instigates by comparing four research articles, highlighting their findings and objectives by comparing them against one another. The next discussion is a comparative analysis of four case studies from the textbook “Purchasing and Supply Chain Management – Fourth Edition”.

Lastly the report is further extended to explore its implications on four case studies and research articles to the small businesses selected in our previous assignment. A
