Globalization has created many opportunities for organizations.
There are many advantages and ways to create value through
outsourcing portions of one's global supply chain. For each
opportunity, there are also many ways for the project to run into
problems.
In your initial post, address the following:
Identify one example of an organization that created value for
itself through outsourcing part of its supply chain. Provide a
link to one resource.
oIdentify the benefit that occurred.
oHow did this benefit help the organization create value?
Who was the value created for—the organization, or the
customer?
In your replies to at least two peers, discuss potential risks of
outsourcing for the examples they provided—for example, risks to
supplier quality or stability, intellectual property, or reputation. The
following questions may help develop your responses:
Can you provide an example of an organization that started
outsourcing the supply chain and then stopped? What risks did
the organization face that caused them to stop the project?
Can you provide an example of an organization that outsourced
similarly and faced reputational damage due to the project?
