Abstract:
Global sourcing is to source from the global market for goods and services across national
boundaries in order to take advantage of the global efficiencies in the delivery of a product or
service. Such efficiencies are consists of low cost skilled labor, low cost raw materials and other

in Turkey at various industries are inclined to global source finished or intermediate goods from

of finished or intermediate goods bring about a negative trade balance and loss of jobs in Turkey.
Therefore, the objective of this study is to assess the concept of global sourcing transactions on
Turkey resting on comprehensive publications
