Description
Critique of the situation in Malaysia, reflecting on the theoretical perspectives presented in the text. Focus your attention on worldwide sourcing and strategic cost management, but draw in earlier topics as well. Include in your discussion at least three concepts and constructs that management at either company should refer to when addressing the dilemma faced in this case. Which elements of the total cost when sourcing worldwide – as described in Monczka - were evident in this case? Which benefits of global sourcing prompted Code C to source from Eastern Wave? Were any barriers encountered, according to a story as related in the case study? Refer to Exhibits 10.2 and 10.3 in your response. What should Eastern Wave do to resolve their purchased material problem? What should Code C do to avoid future sourcing disruption? Elaborate on your ideas, and be sure to support your position.
