| Tiivistelmä: | Global sourcing is a powerful factor in developing a global competitive advantage. However, U.S. firms typically use global sourcing casually. A conceptual distinction btw. strategic and opportunistic sourcing is established. Findings indicate that U.S. companies engaged in large-scale global sourcing show tendency to place this activity at top management decision levels. They also attach an important role to global sourcing in the strategic plan. Finally, they carefully plan their global sourcing through long-term contacts and interorganizational systems. However, many respondents having engaged in global sourcing on a smaller scale, do just the opposite. They seem to treat global sourcing from an opportunistic perspective. It is maintained here that by making global sourcing a more strategic activity, U.S. firms can improve their global performance. |
