Abstract

Due to the growing importance of procurement in recent years, further emphasised by current management challenges and crises, the questions of future focal points and lines of development are becoming increasingly relevant. In this way, essential directional decisions can be made in good time, and their implementation can be proactively initiated. This article aims to create a solid basis for this by developing a picture of the future for procurement by means of a Delphi study. The survey of around 40 managers in the field reveals agility, sustainability, innovation and digitalisation as key upcoming priorities. Further, numerous challenges have been identified, and their managerial implications, e.g., on change management or recruiting, developed.
