Kombinatorische Auktionen in der betrieblichen BeschaffungEine Analyse grundlegender Entwurfsprobleme - An Analysis of Design Problems in Combinatorial Procurement Auctions

Combinatorial auctions are promising auction formats for industrial and public procurement. Potential advantages of using combinatorial auctions include lower overall spend, low transaction costs for multi-item negotiations, fairness and market transparency for suppliers, as well as high allocative efficiency. A number of fundamental design considerations are relevant to the application of combinatorial auctions in procurement. In addition, procurement specialists need to consider several domain-specific requirements, such as additional side constraints as well as alternative multidimensional bid types.
