Die politische und wirtschaftliche Öffnung Indiens, Chinas, der Türkei und der Staaten Osteuropas haben zu einer veränderten Wettbewerbssituation auf dem Weltmarkt geführt. Bereits heute gelten diese Staaten als attraktive Beschaffungsmärkte insbesondere für europäische Unternehmen. Wer jedoch die internationalen Beschaffungsmärkte und ihre Gesetzmäßigkeiten nicht kennt, für den kann Global Sourcing zur Kostenfalle werden. Dass Unternehmen trotz Risiken dennoch erfolgreich Global Sourcing betreiben können, beweist Gerd Kerkhoff in seinem Buch. Er zeigt auf, welche Güter und Dienstleistungen sich für ein Global Sourcing eignen und stellt die wichtigsten Beschaffungsmärkte und ihre Stärken vor. Konkrete Beispiele erläutern, wie die internationale Beschaffung erfolgreich ausgerichtet wird.

For the encompassing nature of this investigation, the author calls this interface issue "global sourcing."

Based on extensive research findings, the book provides practical and normative guidelines for managing new product design and development, manufacturing, and marketing around the world in an era of global competition.

For the last twenty-five years, companies such as Wal-Mart, Dell, and Toyota have enjoyed strong competitive advantages in their respective markets as a result of their world-class supply chains. As the supply chain increasingly lengthens, managers at all levels of the organization must understand the unique challenges of working with suppliers and customers located around the world--and the opportunities that can build new competitive advantages.

There are three stages to outsourcing: The first occurred at the dawn of industrial era in the 19th century, where mass production for consumption by many, became the norm and simple domestic means could not meet such demands. With the cost of labor soaring in developed countries, manufacturing of products started moving to countries like China to take advantage of labor arbitrage in the 1900s. This is the second stage of outsourcing. This book addresses issues and challenges in the third stage of outsourcing whose focus is on movement of services at electronic speed, utilizing the Internet platform.The book includes short essay questions, multiple choice questions, mini-cases at the end of most chapters and glossary of terms. It can also serve as a good reference book for practitioners.

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.

Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - General, grade: 9,0, University of Twente , language: English, abstract: This is a controversial essay about global sourcing and its impact. Within the past years the world of economy has changed drastically and so did the importance of purchasing as a function in organizations. The automatization of processes or rather groundbreaking technologies have replaced face-to-face contact with customer by quick phone calls, internal and external letters by e-mails and eventually the procedure of manually placing orders got substituted by e-procurement. As a consequence, one of the most significant by-effects is the increasing demand of customers with respect to a product's differentiation; and of course every company that wants to prove itself as a successful business has to meet customer's demand in the most stringent way one can conceive.

Seminar paper from the year 2000 in the subject Business economics - Trade and Distribution, grade: 1,7 (A-), Pforzheim University (International Business), course: Seminar, language: English, abstract: In times of “lean-production” and globalisation it’s not just the output-markets that profit from those trends, it’s also the input market which is heavily influenced by the movements towards a worldwide orientated economy. This development is promoted by new and innovative transportation-, packaging- and stock concepts as well as by improving conditions in telecommunication and the successive fall of trade barriers especially within regional economies like the EU or NAFTA.
