Organization Global Sourcing Practice Management

You are required to examine its global sourcing practice in light of current global sourcing literature. Analyze how the global sourcing (GS) is managed i.e., identify its GS strategy, GS structure as well as any areas which may require improvements of the selected organization. You should include the key themes explored in this module in your analysis:

GS strategy and structure, GS supply base management, GS risk management, GS related logistics management, GS related sustainability practice, Global supply chain leadership & learning, and Service offshore outsourcing.”

Note: Please use the standard Harvard system of referencing. For example, when referencing in the main text: (Smith and Jones, 2004). And when referencing in the bibliography: Smith, A. and Jones, T. (2004). Please also use appendices, but sensibly and sparingly! Do not use extensive footnotes, particularly in addition to conventional referencing as this can be confusing for the reader.
