Findings -We identify and discuss the importance of 10 roles played by IPOs and 12 required resources/capabilities. Furthermore, considering the changes that occurred to these IPOs over a five-year period (2007-2012), we observe three distinct evolutionary behaviours (i.e. 'overall development', 'selective development', and 'stable configuration') and highlight three contingent factors that jointly affect these behaviours (i.e. the architectural and technological complexity of the sourced items, annual volume sourced abroad, and experience in the foreign context).Originality/value -This paper contributes to the resource-based view of the firm in a global sourcing context by highlighting the resources/capabilities required by IPOs and discussing their characteristics. Furthermore, it proposes a typology of IPO micro-organisational evolutionary behaviours. Finally, it applies contingency theory and identifies three factors that might affect the evolutionary behaviours.

“…Estados Unidos e na Europa fornecem dados que auxiliam no entendimento da importância do tema para as organizações. As empresas investem de 50% a 65% da receita de suas vendas em Compras de materiais e serviços de fornecedores (Cousins;Speakman, 2003;Moschuris, 2008;Monczka, 2009). Aproximadamente a metade deste valor é gasto com a compra de itens não relacionados à produção, tais como serviços de Logística, Consultorias e Marketing (Carter et al, 2003, Boer et al, 2003Ellram et al, 2004;Ireland et al, 2005).…”

This study examines the strategic role of integrated logistics and global sourcing in a firm's supply chain performance, aiming to explain their role in gaining a competitive edge. Employing an extensive literature review, the research initially investigates their broader impact on global supply chains and subsequently focuses on integrated logistics and global sourcing domains. The findings highlight the increasing importance of supply chain integration in contemporary business strategy. The study establishes that integrating logistics and global sourcing is pivotal for achieving performance improvements crucial for success in today's competitive landscape. It demonstrates that this integration yields various organizational benefits, including cost reduction, improved technology access, enhanced sourcing consistency, strengthened supplier relationships, and improved information sharing. Consequently, this paper addresses a significant gap in the global supply chain literature by synthesizing the concepts of integrated logistics and global sourcing, providing a comprehensive understanding of how they collectively enhance supply chain performance in a fiercely competitive market. As such, it offers a valuable resource for practitioners and academics seeking insight into the pivotal role of integrated logistics and global sourcing in a firm's overall performance.
