Tiivistelmä: | The paper reports on an empirical study to construct an objective and quantifiable method to assess the cost of sourcing from low wage, foreign suppliers. The work details development of a Total Acquisition Cost Model that can be used to quantify the supply system costs associated with such sourcing strategies. In so doing, the authors explore the sourcing policies of a number of European and North American retailers operating in consumer goods sectors. |
