Journal of Global Operations and Strategic Sourcing

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Global Operations and Strategic Sourcing aims to foster and lead the international debate on global operations and strategic sourcing.

It provides a central, authoritative and independent forum for the critical evaluation and dissemination of research and development, applications, processes and current practices relating to sourcing strategically for products, services, competences and resources on a global scale and to designing, implementing and managing the resulting global operations.

Journal of Global Operations and Strategic Sourcing places a strong emphasis on applied research with relevant implications for both knowledge and practice.

Also, the journal aims to facilitate the exchange of ideas and opinions on research projects and issues.

As such, on top of a standard section publishing scientific articles, there will be two additional sections: "The Industry ViewPoint": in this section, industrial practitioners from around the world will be invited (max 2 contributions per issue) to present their point of view on a relevant subject area.

This is intended to give the journal not just an academic focus, but a practical focus as well.

In this way, we intend to reflect a trend that has characterised the past few decades, where interests and initiatives in research, academia and industry have been more and more converging to the point of collaborative relationships being a common practice. "Research Updates - Executive Summaries".

In this section, researchers around the world will be given the opportunity to present their research projects in the area of global sourcing and outsourcing by means of an executive summary of their project.

This will increase awareness of the on-going research projects in the area and it will attract interest from industry.
