Abstract: Abstract This chapter will discuss emerging business and technology-related trends in the field of sourcing. It will also consider how sourcing strategy can be used as a competitive differentiator and how firms can learn to innovate across geographical and organizational boundaries. We will focus on the following aspects: some of the most recent business and technology-related trends in global sourcing; whether strategic advantages can be achieved from introducing such business solutions; the strategies that captive centers could pursue; whether firms can produce innovative products and services through global sourcing.
