영문 초록

This paper examined the strategic sourcing patterns of agribusiness and multinational enterprises in the Philippines and drew insights from an emerging market’s perspective based on ten explorative case studies. Findings confirmed the extant literature relative to multinational enterprises not actively pursuing local sourcing options presented by their host country. Mango processing and export companies in the Philippines primarily sourced locally from multiple locations based on the seasonality of raw material supply. Some firms employed intrasourcing in combination with external sourcing. A majority of the firms adopted sourcing strategies depending on export market specifications. In addition, foreign sourcing was still the predominant practice with imported supplies accounting for the bulk of the procurement operation due to low cost, high and consistent quality and volume flexibility considerations. Sourcing strategies employed by firms were more reactive rather than strategic. The results imply a lack of embeddedness of purchasing and supply management strategy in the overall corporate strategy of some Philippine agribusiness and multinational enterprises.
