However, e-hubs continue to elicit interest in industries such as car production. Yet, there is little research that investigates firms\u2019 strategies for e-procurement in the automotive industry and the potential benefits of e-hubs to them. This research re-examines the transition from bespoke electronic data interchange to generic electronic procurement, and conflicting motivations and complex barriers at firm and industry level are revealed. The article develops a framework that examines the benefits and barriers to firms joining e-hubs, applies the framework to the car industry, and proposes an e-procurement matrix that offers alternative strategies. Six cases from vehicle manufacturers and component suppliers demonstrate a shallow industry structure that lacks supplier integration, where a particular concern is the emergence of consortium e-hubs that combine a transactional approach for reducing price, with a collaborative approach that requires sharing knowledge. While this dispels the myth of simplistic e-commerce models, the governance of e-procurement across collaborative supply chains is still uncertain.<\/p>","DOI":"10.4018\/jisscm.2010092902","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,4,16]],"date-time":"2010-04-16T18:50:29Z","timestamp":1271443829000},"page":"21-42","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Strategies for E-Procurement"],"prefix":"10.4018","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Mickey","family":"Howard","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Exeter, UK"}]},{"given":"Richard","family":"Vidgen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of New South Wales, Australia"}]},{"given":"Philip","family":"Powell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of London, UK and University of Groningen, The Netherlands"}]}],"member":"2432","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"jisscm.2010092902-0","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1504\/IJATM.2005.006878","article-title":"Covisint in Europe: Analysing the auto B2B e-marketplace.","volume":"5","author":"K.Arbin","year":"2005","journal-title":"International Journal of Automotive Technology & Management"},{"key":"jisscm.2010092902-1","unstructured":"Argyris, C.
