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.

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.

In today's times, more and more companies pursue global sourcing strategies in some form and to some extent. The most prominent reason for the increased interest in global sourcing is the idea to benefit from factor cost differences between sourcing regions. However, recent research indicates that cross-border sourcing is no panacea to generate cost savings. There are situations in which international sourcing does not lead to the intended price reductions or even causes expensive backsourcing activities. Accordingly, the ambiguous image of global sourcing is the point of departure for the dissertation at hand. Thus, the main purpose of this thesis is to explore how global sourcing can contribute to a firm’s purchasing performance. The results indicate that the accumulation of social capital between the buying organisation and its international suppliers can increase the sourcing success. However, given the limited amount of resources for those intimate buyer-supplier relationships, close partnerships cannot be maintained with all suppliers. Consequently, the research at hand points in the direction that global sourcing can be a means to increase the intensity of competition in supply markets, facilitating the pursuit of more adversarial relationships.
