Why B2B Auctions Are Not Meeting Expectations
This three-part paper presents the reasons B2B auctions have not met expectations - specifically:
- Why B2B auction sites are not generating significant revenue.
- Why sellers are not making money with auctions.
- Why buyers are not participating in and saving money with auctions.
Part 1 examines the lack of education and knowledge about auctions among potential buyers and sellers and its consequences. (Adobe pdf format)
Part 2 examines the buyers' and sellers' auction objectives and how the incompatibility of those objectives prevents significant participation. (Adobe pdf format)
Part 3 (forthcoming) discusses possible solutions that would allow auction participants to achieve their financial goals and auctions to achieve their potential in electronic commerce.
