Abstract: Abstract In chapters 4 to 7, we profiled seven distinct Sourcing Business Models. Which one is right for your situation? The answer is: “It depends.” You don’t need a sophisticated relationship to source paper clips. A straightforward transactional deal works just fine. Likewise, as Adrian Gonzalez points out in chapter 5, an organization shouldn’t rely on an electronic auction to find a third-party logistics service provider to provide $100 million of logistics support.
