Global sourcing is currently believed to be a common phenomenon. Drawing upon a recent survey among a representative sample of 200 large Dutch manufacturing firms this paper gives an answer to the question to what extent internationalization of sourcing is indeed taking place and whether it affects a firm's performance. The analysis reveals that for this sample of firms global sourcing is the exception rather than the rule.

One of the key debates in purchasing management today relates to the decision to source products on a global basis. However, there is little research that goes beyond asking what are the drivers and barriers to global sourcing. This paper attempts to address part of this gap by asking whether variables associated with a category's strategy, characteristics and supply markets are related to specific sourcing location choices that range from a purely local to a global basis. This is done by testing whether there are significant differences among these variables across a range of sourcing scenarios.

In this paper, we explore how firms can better manage their sourcing by developing relationships not only with their suppliers but also with their suppliers' suppliers. We detail an empirical case study explaining how the firm developed relationships with its suppliers and raw material suppliers via a collaborative center, the sourcing hub. We then analytically model the scenarios encountered in our empirical work and examine two facets of upstream sourcing under uncertain demand scenarios: (a) firms can supply raw material directly to their suppliers, and this may be beneficial for the firm and its suppliers; and (b) firms can bring their suppliers together at the sourcing hub, and the resulting cooperation between suppliers is beneficial for the suppliers and the raw material suppliers. Overall, our work explores the market and economic conditions under which active management of upstream sourcing can add value to supply chains.
