BIAZZIN, Cristiane  y  CASTRO-CARVALHO, Luciano. BIG DATA IN PROCUREMENT: THE ROLE OF PEOPLE BEHAVIOR AND ORGANIZATION ALIGNMENT. Dimens.empres. [online]. 2019, vol.17, n.4, pp.10-28. ISSN 1692-8563.  https://doi.org/10.15665/dem.v17i4.1676.

Complex and big data analytics attract growing interest in procurement strategies due to the possibility of decreasing complexity, lower costs, support the assertive decision-making process, and avoid fraud. This paper aims to exploit the role of organizational alignment and people’s behavior on big data initiatives in procurement. Through a survey, the results suggest that to succeed, organization and procurement strategies must be aligned and the key driver to advance is cost reduction and the willingness to use new technologies. Although behaviors are relevant in management processes, the buyer’s current behaviors do not significantly impact on the deployment of big data strategies.

Palabras clave : Survey; big data; strategic sourcing.
