From Partitioning to Glabal Networking Is there a critical size for purchasing groups?
Does size matter? • Is there a point where large GPO’s reduce competition? • Will governments allow a monopoly for a GPO? • Can small committed groups do as well as large uncommitted groups? • Is there a set of qualities that a small group can exhibit that provides advantages to both the purchaser and the supplier? • Can GPO’s cross over international lines for more than a special project? • What are the laws that regulate GPO activity? • Sophistication of the GPO – can they manage across international borders?
