Search local, regional, or national newspapers or magazines for stories about companies that have outsourced some piece of their value chain to another country. Look for companies in such industries as textiles, clothing, shoes, furniture, automotive parts, machine tools, or consumer electronics, as well as back-office business processes, such as accounting and call-center customer support. News sources such as the Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, and Bloomberg Business week carry stories about companies that have used global sourcing. You can also research companies using Hoovers.com, Standard & Poor’s, Mergent Online, and company Web sites to find out about their experiences with global sourcing.
