RESUMO

This study proposes to understand the aspects of Global Sourcing that add value to the subsidiaries in the purchase of components and services, which has as a carrier, access to sources of supply as a whole. Global Sourcing Strategy refers to the production unit will determine which particular markets and how components/goods/services it will be purchased (DAVIDSON 1982; KOTABE, 1992; McCLINTOCK, 2002). The study aimed to understand the relationship between major dimensions of Global Sourcing, property (intra firm or inter company) and location (provider independent national or foreign), that the subsidiaries of foreign multinational corporations located in Brazil have used, and the strategic guidelines of the headquarter with the Brazilian subsidiaries, in terms of autonomy and integration. The suggested model has theoretical strategies for internationalization, management of subsidiaries, Supply Chain, Global Sourcing and Global Sourcing organizational model. To prove these assumptions, a survey research was conducted by 1,200 companies with responses from 181 subsidiaries of multinational companies located in national territory of distinct market segments, size and origin reflecting the heterogeneous composition of these corporations in the country. In general, the results confirm these assumptions are made for the model approach. We could also testify the aspects related to the less structured and more focused on relationships and governance, which are the differentials that are contributing to the supply area in organization acting increasingly complex. With this, we hope to be contributing to a better understanding of the theories of Global Sourcing and the roles and strategies of the subsidiaries in Brazil.
