Product Details

After the acquisition of the former GE/RCA consumer-electronics company, Thomson Consumer Electronics is dealing with issues about global-sourcing activities. At heart is the consolidation/centralization of purchasing/sourcing activities conducted by 10 separate organizational subunits in Europe, Asia, and North America. The case was developed for a second-year MBA course on operations strategy but is also suitable for a global-operations management or a sourcing/purchasing course.
