Globalization leads to increased fierce competition and companies
which do not pursue successful global sourcing within the next five
years are probably not able to survive. However, global sourcing
projects are highly complex and two-thirds of all sourcing projects
in Europe are considered to have failed. A tool of ten steps is
elaborated to show how to evaluate the success of sourcing by
considering the potentials and risks in an international context.
Successful managing of international sourcing, however, does not
only imply the primary goal to acquire parts cheaply abroad, but it
can be seen as a kind of strategic weapon to create a strong market
position and to keep the company successful on the long term.
