And considering that purchasing is today the single largest expenditure for the majority of organizations (Dyer & Nobeoka, 2000; Agndal & Nilsson, 2009), it is interesting to expand the idea of IOCM and explore how companies can work even closer with their suppliers to impact inter-firm transactions.

  6. 5. Low Supervision, Low Corpus size, Low Similarity! Challenges in cross-lingual alignment of word embeddings : An exploration of the limitations of cross-lingual word embedding alignment in truly low resource scenarios
