Download or read book BASICS OF STRATEGIC SOURCING written by Selvan Athishtaraj V and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2020-06-21 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an outline for identifying potential vendors, conducting negotiations and engaging purchasing agreements to provide goods and/or services that meet procurement needs. In the course of time the role and character of purchasing has been changing constantly. Traditionally, purchasing was seen as merely a supportive and supplementary operational activity with little significance on a firm’s performance. This approach however conveys a rather reactive strategy of purchasing where the focus is on transactions rather than on relations and also more on an operational or tactical level rather than on a strategic one. Market trends with respect to price and quality as well as global and local trends are emphasized in this book which gives more sense in the sourcing and procurement activities. This book also explains about listing down the category to analyse the money spend on manufacturing activities.

Dinesh Sharma, Far Eastern Economic Review An astute study that especially focuses on the invaluable qualities of entrepreneurship and distributive innovation. . . . Exhaustively researched, and featuring appendices packed with additional tables and statistics of hard data, Knowledge, Organizational Evolution, and Market Creation is especially recommended for college library business and economic studies shelves. Midwest Book Review The Economics Shelf India has become a global economic powerhouse and Sud de Surie offers in this book the first systematic analysis of the global spread of Indian businesses. She skillfully maps the foreign expansion of Indian firms in five different industries, from steel, automotive components and machinery to software and biotechnology, showing that economic, political and cultural factors need to be present in order for companies to internationalize successfully. This book sets a new standard for research on international business. It is essential reading for those interested in the increasing role of emerging companies in global competition. Mauro F. Guillén, University of Pennsylvania, US Where do new multinationals come from? How do firms in developing economies become global players? Gita Sud de Surie provides new perspectives on internationalization and the multinational corporation by focusing on firms in emerging markets rather than established multinationals in industrialized economies. She shows that firms in developing countries are not passive recipients of technology; rather, the attempt to absorb new technologies builds capabilities and generates new aspirations propelling them from being adopters of technology to innovators and participants in the global knowledge economy. Knowledge, Organizational Evolution, and Market Creation documents the emergence of the Indian multinational by looking at data from firms in the old economy, such as those in manufacturing, steel-making, automotive components and heavy machinery and the new economy such as software and biotechnology. The author provides insights on knowledge transfer, innovation and capability building processes through in-depth case studies in these industries and suggests that both entrepreneurship and distributed innovation are critical for the growth of firms globally. This book will be valuable for scholars in international management, business policy and strategy, organization and management theory, economic sociology and history and technology and innovation management. Analysts, consultants and executives will find many useful insights in this book as well.

Ricky Jack, Vice President Global Operations (Retd), DuPont Solae LLC., USA “Procurement function of any organization is run by the most responsible person. If anything goes wrong, he or she who heads Purchase is generally the one held responsible. There’s always a sense of fire-fighting - raw materials must reach the plant on time, but there shouldn’t be excess inventory. Inputs must be at the lowest cost, but vendors must be loyal - even if payments are delayed, just in time even if forecast accuracy is 50%. Into this apparent chaos flutters the pages of this book, an enjoyable and educative narration on how to massage a modicum of method into the madness. Fantastic tale and a treatise from Aditya.” Dr. Anjan Ray, Director – CSIR, Indian Institute of Petroleum, INDIA.
