In examining the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games (OG), we show that supply management in major sports events (MSEs) has interesting characteristics both in terms of operationalization and resources required. We show that while supply managers must consider local development, they cannot lose sight of efficiency in delivering on other objectives. The multifaceted nature of supply, which includes sponsorship, value in kind, and so forth, requires specific supply management approaches for each stage of the OG management lifecycle. Specifically, supply management differs from other business contexts in three main areas: (a) supplier identification and selection; (b) contract negotiation and the process of acquiring goods; (c) supplier relationship management.

En effet, les gestionnaires de l'approvisionnement doivent non seulement prendre en compte le développement local, mais aussi songer à l'efficacité dans la poursuite des autres objectifs. La nature multidimensionnelle de l'approvisionnement qui comprend, entre autres, les commandites, les contributions en nature, etc. exige, à chaque étape du cycle de vie de la gestion des OG, des approches particulières en gestion de l'approvisionnement. Plus particulièrement, la gestion de l'approvisionnement diffère des autres contextes d'affaires par trois traits essentiels: (a) l'identification et la sélection des fournisseurs; (b) la négociation des contrats et le processus d'acquisition des produits; (c) la gestion des relations avec les fournisseurs.
