Abstract

Bringing innovative products to markets is essential for companies, especially in competitive environments. One of the driving forces for successful new product development (NPD) is the inclusion of the functions that form part of the process such as purchasing and supply management (PSM). While extensive research has been conducted on the role of procurement in promoting innovation, insufficient research on the future of the PSM function in NPD has been conducted. This study addresses this gap, considering increasing digitalization and its effect on the future PSM function managing purchasing and innovation. To explore the future of PSM in NPD, a Delphi survey with 91 experts from industry, academia, and politics or associations was performed. The results reveal that digitalization will influence the PSM function in NPD across different time horizons and forms depending on the subject area. While in many areas, an interplay between digital technologies and human PSM professionals is expected, in certain domains the PSM function is likely to lose added value compared to digital technologies. Furthermore, digitalization is expected to be a potential enabler of a stronger key innovation role for PSM in NPD but to also introduce new requirements such as data science capabilities.

数字化对管理采购和新产品开发创新的PSM职能未来的影响——来自德尔菲研究的证据
将创新产品推向市场对公司来说至关重要,尤其是在竞争激烈的环境中。成功的新产品开发(NPD)的驱动力之一是将采购和供应管理(PSM)等功能纳入流程的一部分。虽然对采购在促进创新中的作用进行了广泛的研究,但对新产品开发中PSM功能的未来进行的研究还不够。本研究解决了这一差距,考虑到日益增长的数字化及其对未来PSM管理采购和创新功能的影响。为了探索PSM在新产品开发中的未来,我们对91位来自行业、学术界、政界或协会的专家进行了德尔福调查。研究结果表明,数字化将在不同的时间跨度和不同的学科领域影响新产品开发中的PSM功能。虽然在许多领域,数字技术与人类PSM专业人员之间的相互作用是预期的,但在某些领域,与数字技术相比,PSM功能可能会失去附加价值。此外,数字化有望成为PSM在NPD中更强大的关键创新角色的潜在推动者,但也会引入新的要求,如数据科学能力。

期刊介绍: The mission of the Journal of Purchasing & Supply Management is to publish original, high-quality research within the field of purchasing and supply management (PSM). Articles should have a significant impact on PSM theory and practice. The Journal ensures that high quality research is collected and disseminated widely to both academics and practitioners, and provides a forum for debate. It covers all subjects relating to the purchase and supply of goods and services in industry, commerce, local, national, and regional government, health and transportation.
