Strategic Global Sourcing Best Practices (Best Practices (John Wiley & Sons))

Great book. If you have little or a lot of experience, this book is a good source of information and a refresh of information.

The writers were able to compile quality information from a full perspective of strategic sourcing practices and kept it easy reading. This is a book which can help those with no knowledge on strategic sourcing and also those who are very familiar with some of the best practices. It also helps the way the book was written so it can be used as an consulting material.

Its a good book but to similar to procurement and supply chain desk reference. Well written and I recommend it

going to be in my library for a long time :) very good

Overall the book is a good overview of sourcing. It was helpful for what I was trying to learn. I would have liked more examples across different types of businesses.

Good, I found useful information in it. It covers all the areas within the supply chain with information that can be applied in the real world.

Very good product

I found this book to be very benefical. It is academic enough to be well structured, and practical enough to be useful -what might be called an executive summary. The many implementation guidelines will help the practioner who has to guide a global sourcing effort. I really enjoyed the numerous stories, anecdotes and examples that were included; they made some of the topics come alive. Appropriately the authors start by recognizing that the sourcing plan must be derived from, and must support, the higher level corporate strategic objectives. The sections on cultural differences and sustainability considerations were quite interesting. The book includes a nice glossary of terms, suggested additional reading for more in depth looks at the various topics, and many lists of resources throughout the book. I recommend this book for anyone who is looking to understand the big picture of Strategic Global Sourcing.

Bits have been cut from the top right and back of the book. Some shiny wrapping paper was stuck onto the front covering the cut out. Whilst it was clear this book was not for resale in USA per the picture provided by the seller, it is not okay for selling out of Indian subcontinent - see back of book. Unacceptable experience.

I use this as one of the recommended books for the students who are preparing for the Certified Inventory Optimization Professional (CIOP) certification program. The best practices in sourcing is well delivered through the 12 chapters in a lucid way.

Concepts are well written and Good to read

Bought this book going by the subject line, expecting it will put more emphasis on Global Sourcing and some specific strategies associated with it. But it comes out as very very generic book of sourcing and a basic one. Not satisfied.
