CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study The Nigeria Management Service (GES) is responsible for spearheading the nation Management vision by laying a good foundation that would facilitate the development of human resource in Nigeria. Since the sector has a direct investment in human capital which is the instrument for improving the productive capacity of societies as much as their political, economic and technological development is concern, there is the need for a good foundation. When children are educated poverty is reduced, the fertility rate is lowered, health is improved, and the national status is raised coupled with higher productivity leading to higher income (Shultz, 1974; Cohn, 1979; Noor, 1981). Furthermore management enhances the status of women; promote adaptability to technological changes and forges national unity (Juster, 1975). The future development of the nation (Nigeria) therefore hinges more than ever, on the capacity of the nation and individuals to acquire relevant knowledge in literacy, numeracy and problem solving skills and attitudes. This is so since management is the keystone to national development and quality basic management is the foundation. It is significant to note that the availability of well-motivated teachers is central to improving student?s achievement. Even with the best strategy in place and an appropriate organizational architecture, an organization will be effective only if its members are motivated to perform at a high level. Leading is such an important managerial activity that it entails ensuring that each member of the organization is motivated to perform highly and help the organization to achieve its goals. When managers are effective, the outcome is a highly motivated workforce.

The environment in which organization operate today is complex and comprises physical, cultural psychosocial, economics, legal, political, technical and other characteristics. It is in this environment that all organization must operate their business. They must among other analysis the character of economics and social problem and acknowledge that their policies are adopted and administered in a political system where concentration of power and self-interest has to be tacked. In addition, good communication network in the form of postal and telecommunication has been interpreted by various meaning. Some regard it as message itself. Some feel it is the channel along which the message is passed while other term it as the cut off message, passing communication can therefore be rightly defined as the process by which information is passed between individual or organization by means of a previously agreed method (either verbal or written). In everyday life one seeks information from or passes information to them. This communication can be verbal (face to face or telephone). Written (letter, memos, reports etc) or mechanical (seconding original documents instead of transmitting the message in them). The most vital means of receiving or sending information is oral communication. Osiegbu (1983:40) said that the factors that contribute to failure in implementation of organizational objectives include lack of clarity of purpose and failure in understanding of objective policies and tasks at any level by any group or individual. Failure in communication or perception clashes of interest of value, gap between anticipated and actual event, degree of flexibility and capacity of organization to respond to the unexpected all those by no means are possible constraints to organizational intention but the major concern here is the breakdown in management function due to no communication. In other word how “effective communication improves managerial performanceâ€. Communication function is the means by which organized activity is unified. The means by which social input are fed into the social systems or organization, the means by which behaviour is modified, change is effected, information is made productive and goals are achieved, be it business, the military, the government and so on. In a similar form, communication relates to exchange of facts, opinion or emotions by two or more persons in an organization. It could be word, letters, symbols or messages in a way that one-organization member shares meaning and understanding with another. On the other hand management is the managing of a complex system of men, machine, money and the physical structure whose effective coordination is necessary in the production of a product or service that have economic value to the society. The practice of management also rest to a large extent on the role or part which individuals and groups in the organization play and of course the way their activities are harmonized. Human beings are essentially crucial for the development growth and success of any organization for it is the human beings that get things done. The practice of management involve taking charge and streamlining the activities of organization member to ensure that as far as possible desired objective are active. | CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY The rise of e-business in the late 1990?s led to the development of new opportunities related to procurement: e-procurement, spend management, outsourcing and joint product design (Lancioni, Smith, and Oliva, 2000). E-procurement is defined as an Internet-based purchasing system that offers electronic purchase order processing and enhanced administrative functions to buyers and suppliers, resulting in operational efficiencies and potential cost savings. Most of the companies nowadays can be seen as being composed of three primary processes which are purchasing, manufacturing and distribution based on the overall flow of materials (Thawiwinyu and Laptened, 2009). So, in order for the companies to remain competitive in the market, it?s must reduce the costs of their components or parts and materials by sourcing from cost saving suppliers. Nowadays most of the organizations are increasingly doing E-Business using information and communication technologies and the additional use of internet too. The traditional procurement which is lowly, back-end process has been transformed into E-Procurement with the emerging technologies that make everything possible and within reach. Furthermore, with increasing on competitive pressures, supply chain management professionals must continually find solution to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and also to reduce the longest lead time. Procurement now is seen as a core player in supply chain focus on time to market, product quality based competition, cost efficiency, inventory management, and customer uncertainty. According to Monczla and Morgan (2000), this can be solved by the key competitive priorities for the 21st century is the maximization of Internet-based technologies such as E-Procurement. In 1990's along with rapid growth of the Internet, Electronic Commerce (EC) in traditional market was founded. This study attempts to assess the e-Procurement success factors in telecommunication organizations of Nigeria. The main purpose of this study is to understand how the various factors play their role in making e-Procurement technology a success for the business. 1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Overall, e-procurement adoption in private sector in VOI may be below expectations due to a lack of understanding of the consequences from non-adoption and link to competitive advantage, a presumption that e-procurement is mostly for large businesses, and the notion that it is too early to assess conclusively (CFO Europe, 2003). In addition, there is evidence that the adoption process is complex and onerous, and intervention may be necessary to stimulate initial adoption and subsequent implementation. E-procurement adoption is an area of both threat and opportunity in terms of business productivity and competitiveness Even if the benefits of adoption and the potential strategic implications of e-procurement are recognized, the list of impediments for private sectors includes items that are major potential barriers for an effective adoption: risk, uncertainty, inefficiencies from supplier and catalogue-content readiness, cultural change, staff resistance, need for firm wide training with likely disruption of on-going activities each one of these makes it difficult for SMEs to implement e-procurement strategies, to the possible extent that the implementation may be deemed too difficult. One possible explanation for a slow adoption process is that the adoption decision is complex? while many benefits arise in the longer term, major impediments and associated potential costs may be very short term (e.g. extensive staff training). Associated benefits and costs are difficult to estimate in real terms. It is on this basis that the study examined factors influencing implementation of e-procurement in private sector. 1.3 RESEARCH OBJECTIVES 1. To find out the level of the implementation of e-procurement in the private sector. 2. To examine the success of e-procurement implementation in the private sector. 3. To ascertain the effect of skills of private sector employees and suppliers on implementation of e-procurement in private sectors 4. To determine the effect of cost of systems infrastructure on implementation of e-procurement in private sector. 5. To establish the factors influencing implementation of e-procurement in private sector. 6. To ascertain the important factors that contributes to the success of e-procurement in private sector. 1.4 RESEARCH QUESTIONS 1. What is the level of the implementation of e-procurement on the private sector? 2. What is the level of success of e-procurement implementation in the private sector? 3. What is the effect of skills of private sector employees and suppliers on implementation of e-procurement in private sectors? 4. What are the factors influencing implementation of e-procurement in private sector? 5. What are the important factors that contribute to the success of e-procurement in private sector? 1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY The study will be used by companies to get more knowledge on factors affecting use of e-Procurement in Private sector. The knowledge will be used by the researcher to develop more knowhow on e- Procurement; it will assist scholars interested in conducting research in e- procurement and related areas as a source of reference. The study will assist policy makers on e- Procurement in companies both for private and public sectors, which will help shape the procurement sectors to perform better with implementing e-Procurement in business activities. 1.6 SCOPE OF THE STUDY The study of critical factors that influences e-procurement implementation success in the private sector is limited to the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company, General Gas, Akobo Ibadan. 1.7 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY 1. Network interconnectivity to enhance elaborate research ? 2. High level of illiteracy 3. Organization operational huddles. 4. Time and cost constraints due to cause of scarcity in gasoline to go about the research. | CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study The success of any organization is determined by the complex interaction of the employer usually represented by Management and employees in organizing and utilizing available resources in the most Impactive, efficient, creative and innovative manner in satisfying the needs and in some cases the wants of customers, all in the quest of achieving the overall organizational objectives. In this regard, businesses across the world and Nigeria in their quest to achieve the number one goal of every organization; i.e. maximization of profit - striving on daily basis to create an enabling environment for employees to be innovative, creative and above all productive. Both the employee and the employer have their roles to play. The employer is expected to provide the conducive work environment, the required tools, equipment and other basic elements like employees welfare, training and development, reward and compensation just to mention but a few. Employees on the other hand are expected to contribute their quota by being diligent, dedicated, punctual, customer service oriented, loyal, innovative, creative and productive in the execution of their jobs; anything short of these would result in low productivity and performance will certainly fall short of Management?s expectations and the set organizational goals would not be met. The persistence of such a situation would definitely lead to the total collapse of the business and the organization. One important facet of the employer?s responsibility in creating the enabling environment is to meet the expectations of the employees to serve as motivation for productivity. However, human beings have varied needs and expectations. | CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.0 Background to the study Microfinance is the provision of a broad range of financial services to poor low-income households and micro enterprises (Amin and Pebley, 1994). Research interest in the issue of access to microfinance particularly by women has been on a rising trend in recent times. Bennet and Goldberg (1993) asserted that in developing economies, low-income women are often victims of societal suppression and abuse; while their counterparts in developed economies are victims of lending discrimination. It is therefore argued that lending to women may help empower them economically and socially. The heightened interest in the gender dimension of microfinance in recent times stems from the fact that women are often seen as instruments for societal change and development and as such, empowering them may be of great benefit to society. Access to credit by women has therefore become the main subject of many global and regional conferences, seminars and workshops. Experts have widely acknowledged the substantial contribution of small and micro enterprises (of which women participation constitute larger percentage) to the socio-economic development of a nation, therefore the need to support them to grow. It is therefore no exaggeration to state that, the most important goal, which every society in the contemporary world has set for itself, is to empower its women to be able to afford basic necessities of life such as food, clothing and shelter; as well as be part of decision making in the home and community. In many societies in Africa, which Nigeria is no exception, women are not fully integrated into the socio-economic development process (Meyer, 1992) and one of the possible implications is that, these societies are deprived of their full utilization of their human resource capabilities and potentials. Education, in its true sense brings some level of empowerment and once a woman is empowered it will subsequently lead to a reduction in poverty in various societies, education helps women to contribute meaningfully to development through participation in decision making which has been perceived to be the prerogative of men. | CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.0 Background of the Study The workplace today is in a state of metamorphosis with contemporary issues such as customer satisfaction , competitive advantage, revenue and expenditures, organisational culture, technological advancement, global markets, diverse customer demands and need for effective workforce with a global mindset penetrating every aspect of the organisation. Effective workforce is crucial as it is the organisation?s primary player in accomplishing goals and delivering service. According to Burke & Cooper (2004), ?a firm?s human resource management (HRM) practices and the kind of workforce help attain organisational competitiveness.? HRM is the organisational function that enhances creativity, innovation , speed, flexibility , and efficiency of the workforce to transform them into organisational assets . Human resource management is now highly recognised as a strategic lever for the organisation in creating value. For a long time, different companies or organizations in the world are taking advantage of, and spending money and trusting external providers of human resource services in order to offer cost effectiveness and efficiency of internal human resource procedures. This is particularly important for organizations, which are considered as important players in the financial sector in any country because of the economic benefits they provide in their economic environment. |
