Jag tyckte det blev väldigt intressant med ett case, det blev en helt annan förstårelse för hur man till och med kan ändra sin strategi med hjälp av att föra in e-auktion som en del i upphandlingsstrategin/varugruppsstrategi. Även väldigt bra med mallar som eleven får ta del av vid olika tillfällen exempelvis inbjudan till leverantörer. Saknar dock lite mer detaljerad beskrivning på hur och vad man kvalificerar leverantörerna. Jag skulle vilja ha ett exempel på detta.
