| Information is the basis for global sourcing promotion. Centering upon the theme of "how to establish an information system to promote global sourcing", this dissertation first gives a brief overview of global sourcing and the Jiangsu Global Sourcing Promotion Center (JSGSPC). Then using empirical analysis methods, it studies 7 well-known domestic and international global sourcing information systems. On the basis of this, it undertakes planning of the establishment of JSGSPC's information system and regards the commodities' HSCODE as the key to win. The Jiangsu global sourcing information system has 4 organic components, i.e. the platform (website), channels, management, and use of information, which are studied one by one. This dissertation introduces HSCODE into the information system to standardize and manage releases of commodities supplied or demanded. It solves the problem of different expressions of the same commodities by both sides of supply and demand and therefore is both innovative and of great practical value. Using government data as an impetus during the early stages of JSGSPC can bring comparative and later-comer advantages into play. Integrating credit management, commodity specialist and illation of commodity chains into the global sourcing information system can provide a certain level of decision-making for the global sourcing operators.The research results of this dissertation have guiding values for the establishment of JSGSPC's information system. In fact, this dissertation's practical values have already been shown gradually in the process of the establishment of information system. |
