Abstract
A first priority should be to adopt a strategy to start an offshore global buying program. Should the purchasing chief appoint someone responsible or assume that role? A purchasing manager starting foreign sourcing faces two options:
-
1.
Start with the available buyers and learn offshore know-how; or
-
2.
Locate and hire experienced foreign sourcing buyers.
