Knowledge Application: Procurement, Sourcing, and Outsourcing
The paper fits well the knowledge application of procurement, sourcing, and outsourcing. In manufacturing any product, procurement is one of the significant aspects that must be taken into consideration. There are always advantages when an organization aims to source products globally. This enhances the firm's competitive advantage and ensures rapid growth, economies of scale, and the leveraging of products from other nations (Chase & Jacobs, 2018). Besides, procurement, sourcing, and outsourcing products or materials globally ensure that the company can learn new cultures, find new markets, and identify new talents. The world is increasingly becoming diverse, and businesses must embrace a global culture (Gupta & Wang, 2018). Many innovations and developments can only be enjoyed by adopting technologies and innovations from foreign nations.
