Newly Released!
Latest Research on Cooperative Procurement
|
Harvard Kennedy School of Government recently issued "Cooperative Procurement: Today's Contracting Tool/Tomorrow's Contracting Strategy," to serve as the latest up-to-date academic research on the topic of cooperative procurement. What sets this white paper apart from previous research is it takes a 360-degree review - from the perspectives of public procurement professionals, suppliers and cooperative organizations. Under the leadership of Stephen Goldsmith, the Daniel Paul Professor of the Practice of Government and Director of the Innovations in American Government Program at Harvard, who also formerly served as the Mayor of Indianapolis and former deputy mayor of New York City, the paper concludes "cooperative purchasing clearly can add value." Goldsmith adds, "As the cooperative movement matures, it brings in new tools and approaches that can offer hope for beleaguered procurement shops aspiring to both get beyond the commodity work and to better understand new technologies."
