“…Figure 4 indicates that three variables have been used in prior research to describe the environment the buying company operates in. First, Quintens, Matthyssens, and Faes (2005) studied the impact of a company's country of origin on the structure of purchasing by comparing companies from Belgium…”

This paper presents the results of a comprehensive literature review of the organization of purchasing covering the period from 1967 to 2009. The review provides a structured overview of prior research topics and findings and identifies gaps in the existing literature that may be addressed in future research. The intention of the review is to a) synthesize prior research, b) provide researchers with a structural framework on which future research on the organization of purchasing may be oriented, and c) suggest promising areas for future research.

“…Company size has been considered as a major variable in the explanation of global strategies. Smaller companies tend to be more reactive towards international purchasing (Scully and Fawcett 1994;Quintens et al 2005); however, they may face difficulties, since appropriate resources are required to effectively operate purchasing on a global scale (Narasimhan and Carter 1990).…”

“…In this light, cultural elements have been considered relevant. As is presupposed by Hofstede's (2001) typologies, companies belonging to countries that have cultural differences may adopt different approaches to manage customers and suppliers internationally (Monczka and Giunipero 1984;Bello et al 2004;Quintens et al 2005). Similarly, the country where the foreign supplier or customer is located has been found to play a role (Quintens et al 2005).…”

Supply chain configurations in a global environment: A longitudinal perspective

et al. 2008

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In the last few years, companies have paid growing attention to the management of their supply chain at a global level. The need for better suppliers, international competition and research of specific competences have forced companies to improve their ability to cope with suppliers and customers located in different countries around the world. This paper aims to provide an overview of how manufacturing companies use global supply chains and how their behaviour changes over time. Longitudinal data from a sample of companies from the last two editions of the International Manufacturing Strategy Survey (IMSS) are used. A contingent analysis of manufacturing localization and globalization is also considered in order to identify factors influencing supply chain globalization strategies.

“…Although about 60% of FOS increased operational decision-making autonomy, only 23% of FOS increased domestic sourcing by more than the average increase (see table 2). This implies that, in many cases, increasing operational decision-making autonomy in areas connected to purchasing and production may be connected to developing global rather than domestic sourcing (Gereffi and Kaplinsky, 2001;Quintens et al, 2005;Tavares and Young, 2006;Yip, 2003).…”

This paper investigates the development of domestic sourcing by foreign-owned subsidiaries (FOS) in the UK. The regional development and international-business literatures are used to develop a conceptual framework on the links between autonomy, the use of networks, and domestic sourcing. Data from a survey of German, French, and US FOS in the UK is used to test the model. The results indicate that increased use of networks and increased operational decision-making autonomy are associated with increased domestic sourcing, but that only a minority of FOS are increasing their use of domestic sourcing. The growing importance of global sourcing is considered as a possible explanation for the low proportion of FOS that are increasing their use of domestic sourcing. The implications for regional-development policy of the findings are also assessed.
