The Purchasing Knowing Doing Gap and HRM Incentives

Max Boodie and Dirk-Jan Kamann

Several authors have observed that the daily practice in purchasing often differs from what literature prescribes.  We also learned that many practitioners do actually know very well what ideally should be done, but do not  practice those ideals. This paper will focus on three things: (1) is it possible to actually measure this ‘gap’  between how purchasing is executed on a number of aspects and how this ideally should be done in the eyes of  the stakeholders involved; (2) establish the perception gaps – of both the actual and ideal situations – between the  purchasing manager and internal clients; (3) to which extend do HRM incentives play a role in this, since they  are assumed to steer the behavior of both the Purchasing Managers and the Internal Clients.
