Overview

Making the Right Move in the Global Era

New approaches to business management are emerging one after another, with globalization of target markets and operations, new business models and so on, resulting in a newly dynamic sourcing environment.

One particularly important keyword here is “global”. However, sourcing models based on outsourcing are already well-established at most Japanese organizations, thus maximizing the effectiveness of sourcing within existing frameworks is a major issue.

At the 2011 Sourcing Summit, we will look at both the present and future of sourcing with a global approach and explore the strategies and measures that Japanese IT departments should take.
