Summary
Globalization leads to increased fierce competition and successful global sourcing is an essential element for the economic development of companies. Global sourcing projects are, however, highly complex and two-thirds of all sourcing projects in Europe are considered to have failed. Daniel Senft generates a tool of ten steps to show how to evaluate the success of sourcing by considering the potentials and risks in an international context. The author demonstrates that successful managing of international sourcing does not only imply the primary goal to cheaply acquire parts abroad, but it can rather be seen as a kind of strategic weapon to create a strong market position and to keep the company successful on the long term.
