Private Equity Firms Turn to Global Sourcing for Returns
By neoIT
Global sourcing can be a strong asset for firms looking to improve savings and enhance company value as well as streamline the operating model. The benefits of global sourcing, from predictable cash flows and the ability to finance the investment, make it an attractive management tool for private equity portfolio companies, particularly during the divestiture phase.
As private equity firms continue to proliferate and the cost of equity rises, buyout firms will increasingly look for operational improvement in their portfolios. Global sourcing, when properly applied and managed, can provide returns several fold the investment.
