Current trends of rising wages in the emerging economies, increasing legislature, and transportation cost pressures have resulted in some arguing that supply sources need to be totally redesigned.

The rapid changes in the global economy have resulted in a world with multiple supply centres of excellence. Traditional supply sources have given way to emerging economies - Eastern Europe, Central and Latin America, and Asia. Within these emerging economies, companies have also been shifting their supply sources as the economic condition changes. But current trends of rising wages in the emerging economies, increasing legislature, and transportation cost pressures have resulted in some arguing that supply sources need to be totally redesigned.

What is the right strategy? Well, there is no single one size fits all answer. The best response is the one that combines all the characteristics of the different sources, so you can have your cake and eat it too!.
