2. Identify differences between traditional purchasing and use of e-auctions. How can Brandt use these differences to make his selection? What types of items would be best suited for purchase through e-auctions?

It was August 7th and Brandt Womack had just been given his first assignment by his purchasing manager at Miami based Snedeker Global Cruises Inc. It was the ‘‘E-Auction Development Program’’ (EDP). The purpose of EDP was to identify potential products that could be purchased through e-auctions, to determine the necessary steps to conduct a successful e-auction, and assess the impact of e-auctions on supplier relationships. As a newly hired supply chain manager Brandt wondered how to proceed.
Snedeker Global Cruises incorporated in 1986 and is a cruise company with 35 cruise ships and over 70,000 berths. Snedeker Global serves the contemporary and premium segments of the cruise vacation industry and offers a variety of itineraries to destinations worldwide, including Alaska, Asia, Australia, the Caribbean, Europe, Hawaii, Latin America, and New Zealand.
