For engineering goods the bought-in part costs represent a big share of the overall production costs. Facing increasing global competition, many German en­gineering companies identify low-cost sourcing from China as one of the re­maining levers to reduce costs. But shifting purchasing volume to China re­quires in general the development and improvement of new suppliers. In or­der to do so, what methods do exist? How do they match the specialties in Ger­man buyer Chinese supplier relationships? And, what can be done to boost the results? Based on the state of the art in literature and in concerned com­panies, the author Matthias Vodi¿ka analyzes the current approaches and illus­trates their strengths and weaknesses regarding their use in China. An adap­ted Balanced Scorecard is designed, which, including the identified dri­vers of success, aims for the improvement of the buyer supplier relationship it­self. With this, a strategic guideline and an action plan can boost the out­comes for both parties. This work addresses companies which are (or plan to get) involved in China sourcing activities and those, who are generally in­te­res­ted in the issues occurring for Western companies in China.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783639401080\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eImproving the Buyer Supplier  Relationship Using  the Balanced Scorecard\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783639401080","offer_id":39489770684509,"sku":"9783639401080","price":42.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/a8531ff8-f57e-41ea-9471-60e6333f911d.jpg?v=1776144089","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/guideline-for-the-development-of-chinese-suppliers-von-matthias-vodicka","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
