Abstract:

The aim of the research reported in this thesis is to gain understanding of global sourcing practices of companies in the UK and to develop a framework to improve sourcing strategy implementation. This research was conducted by carrying out literature review, analysis of case studies through semi-structured interviews, analysis of an online-based survey, development of a global sourcing framework, feedback process and finally the refinement of the framework. The global sourcing practices, in terms of eight critical success factors, which were identified through literature, was investigated thr

Abstract:

The paradigm shift in global sourcing of transmission components is achieved by developing a part-classification methodology based on a new model of core-competence analysis. The result is shaped by the empirical data analysis of the core-competence and cost-structure analysis. This paradigm shift is defined by a move from local sourcing of the European automotive industry to global sourcing, shaped by modern management philosophies, at the beginning of the new millennium, and then back to "Local for Local" sourcing, due to bad experiences with the quality performance of low cost country suppl

Cette thèse porte sur l’optimisation de l’approvisionnement dans les zones géographiquement lointaines. Au moment de planiﬁer des approvisionnements de matières premières ou de composants dans des pays lointains, la longue distance géographique entre l’acheteur et le fournisseur devient un enjeu essentiel à prendre en compte. Puisque le transport se fait souvent par la voie maritime, le délai d’approvisionnement est si long que les besoins peuvent évoluer pendant la longue période de livraison, ce qui peut engendrer un risque de rupture élevé.

Abstract:

Global sourcing has made it possible for companies to purchase components from suppliers all over the world. The intention nowadays is to find the best quality at the most competitive price, distance is not as important in today’s society. Sourcing globally is natural to many companies today and has increased in recent years. This global and open-world changed when Covid-19 erupted and the world declared a pandemic situation. Cities in China decided to implement a lockdown to reduce the infection. Covid-19 has affected global sourcing operations and made it hard to receive deliveries in time.

This dissertation consists of three essays, two in the field of international economics and one in macroeconomics.

I propose a two-country model of sourcing where heterogeneous firms choose the sourcing destination as well as the extent to which they would like to engage in productivity-enhancing R\&D investments. Firms self-select into different combinations of sourcing modes and R\&D engagements based on their pre-R\&D, or pure productivity level. This model generates novel predicti

Most firms are still failing to think strategically and systematically about managing supply disruption risk and most of the supply chain management efforts are focused on reducing supply chain operation costs rather than managing disruption. Some innovative firms have taken steps to implement supply chain risk management (SCRM). Inventory management is part of SCRM because supply disruptions negatively affect the reliability of deliveries from suppliers and the costs associated with the ordering process. The complexity of existing inventory models makes it challenging to combine the managemen

These issues involve: a. A literature “gap” and low research granularity of existing research, b.

Abstract:

<p>Background:Scholars tend to view global sourcing as a one-way street, whereby multinational manufacturers from developed countries purchase low-cost materials and products from developing countries. Undoubtedly, one of the purchasing bases for them is China because of its abundant resources and cheap labor. That is why China is aptly called the “Global Factory.” Conversely, few Chinese manufactures currently adopt a global sourcing strategy. However, the higher demand for technical quality and an increase in manufacturing cost is driving more Chinese manufacturers to adopt a global sourcing

The extensive exploitation of dusky sharks may partly be attributed to the high market value of its fins, but the contribution of individual dusky shark stocks to the fin markets is unknown. This
