Existing studies on global sourcing strategy have implicitly adopted a cJosed-systems perspective in which sourcing activities are managed within a multinational company across national boundaries. Produd and process innovations and components procurement that are jointly managed by a consortium of cooperating firms have not been examined. In this paper, we empiricallyexamine the issues concerning sourcing partnerships in an open-systems perspective. Findings suggest that even in a sourcing partnership arrangement with a foreign supplier, the principal firm's ability to procure and control the supply of major components has a positive bearing on its market performance.

Os estudos sobre estratégia de suprimento global têm adotado uma perspectiva de sistemas fechados, nos quais as atividades de suprimento são gerenciadas dentro de uma empresa multinacional através de fronteiras nacionais. Inovação em processos de manufatura e suprimento de componentes gerenciados conjuntamente por um consórcio de empresas ainda não foram devidamente examinados. Neste artigo, abordaremos as questões concernentes a parcerias de suprimento em sistemas abertos. Os resultados de nosso estudo sugerem que mesmo em uma parceria de suprimento com um fornecedor estrangeiro, a principal habilidade da empresa para obter e controlar o fornecimento dos componentes principais tem uma correlação positiva com seu desempenho de mercado.
