摘要：This article serves as the first part of a two-part series that will provide an overview of the reverseauction concept, building on the best research in the field of supply chain management. In this instalment,we examine the growth of reverse auctions in both private and public sector procurement. We thenprovide a differentiation between the more readily understood forward auction concept and the emergingpractice of reverse auctioning. We then examine the two-sides of the reverse auction savings equation,looking at the "first order"savings to be derived from theuseof competitive bidding to securelowerpurchase prices, as well as the "second order" savings that can be achieved through making theprocurement process more efficient
