This book analyzes the evolution of Baxter International's Analytical Systems Automated Purchasing (ASAP), one of the earliest and most successful supplier-to-customer electronic linkages in the industry.

This book argues that the evolution of ASAP best viewed in terms of two distinct eras encompassing three phases: localized experimentation, organizational assimilation, and competitive jockeying.
