“…International business (1 article) and general management journals (2 articles), in contrast, gave limited attention to structural aspects of purchasing. These results confirm those of Quintens, Pauwels, and Matthyssens (2006a) and Pagano (2009) in the field of supply management. In addition, 11 articles were identified that appeared in journals other than the 42 selected.…”

“…(1) The selection of journals is based on the suggestions by Quintens, Pauwels, and Matthyssens (2006a) Pagano (2009) and Walker (2009), who provided literature reviews in the context of purchasing. Thus, a journal list was generated by selecting the most relevant journals in the disciplines general management, international business, international marketing management, and operations and supply (chain) management.…”

“…Thus, a journal list was generated by selecting the most relevant journals in the disciplines general management, international business, international marketing management, and operations and supply (chain) management. The most relevant journals in the respective disciplines were selected by referring to the papers by Quintens, Pauwels, and Matthyssens (2006a) Pagano (2009) and Dubois and Reeb (2000) for international business, Hult, Neese, and Bashaw (1997) Quintens, Pauwels, and Matthyssens (2006a) and Pagano (2009) for marketing, Peng (2001) Pagano (2009) and Walker (2009) for general management, and Quintens, Pauwels, and Matthyssens (2006a) Pagano (2009) and Walker (2009) for operations and supply (chain) management. Through this approach, 42 journals were selected in total.…”

“…Thus, 226 articles could be identified that met these search criteria. These papers were subjected to a further analysis of their abstract and, in case they seemed to be relevant for this literature review, selected and completely read to examine their content (Pagano 2009). In total, 45 papers were identified as relevant in this step.…”

This paper presents the results of a comprehensive literature review of the organization of purchasing covering the period from 1967 to 2009. The review provides a structured overview of prior research topics and findings and identifies gaps in the existing literature that may be addressed in future research. The intention of the review is to a) synthesize prior research, b) provide researchers with a structural framework on which future research on the organization of purchasing may be oriented, and c) suggest promising areas for future research.

“…In particular, Shook et al (2009) review the ten most important theories being applied in sourcing and recommend the application of theory in academia and business. Pagano (2009) presents a literature review on relational capabilities in global sourcing, while Kausik and Mahadevan (2012) present a literature review on strategic sourcing from 1997-2010. Here, the authors list 225 papers, but the research methodology lacks rigour and the researchers cannot justify how they select papers and how they interpret and define strategic sourcing.…”

Strategic sourcing has increased in importance in recent years, and now plays an important role in companies' planning. The current volatility in supply markets means companies face multiple challenges involving lock-in situations, supplier bankruptcies or supply security issues. In addition, their exposure can increase due to natural disasters, as witnessed recently in the form of bird flu, volcanic ash and tsunamis. Therefore, the primary focus of this study is risk management in the context of strategic sourcing.The study presents a literature review on sourcing based on the 15 years from 1998-2012, and considers 131 academic articles. The literature describes strategic sourcing as a strategic, holistic process in managing supplier relationships, with a long-term focus on adding value to the company and realising competitive advantage. Few studies discovered the real risk impact and status of risk management in strategic sourcing, and evaluation across countries and industries was limited, with the construction sector particularly under-researched.This methodology is founded on a qualitative study of twenty cases across Germany and the United Kingdom from the construction sector and electronics manufacturing industries. While considering risk management in the context of strategic sourcing, the thesis takes into account six dimensions that cover trends in strategic sourcing, theoretical and practical sourcing models, risk management, supply and demand management, critical success factors and the strategic supplier evaluation.The study contributes in several ways. First, recent trends are traced and future needs identified across the research dimensions of countries, industries and companies. Second, it evaluates critical success factors in contemporary strategic sourcing. Third, it explores the application of theoretical and practical sourcing models in terms of effectiveness and sustainability. Fourth, based on the case study findings, a risk-oriented strategic sourcing framework and a model for strategic sourcing are developed. These are based on the validation of contemporary requirements and a critical evaluation of the existing situation. It contemplates the empirical findings and leads to a structured process to manage risk in strategic sourcing. The risk-oriented framework considers areas such as trends, corporate and sourcing strategy, critical success factors, strategic supplier selection criteria, risk assessment, reporting, strategy alignment and reporting. The proposed model highlights the essential dimensions in strategic sourcing and guides us to a new definition of strategic sourcing supported by this empirical study.
