Abstract

Today, companies want to improve the operation of their supply chains because they have learned that supply chains are the source of market power. Many companies outsource and offshore selected business processes. The scope and scale of outsourcing and offshoring are constantly growing. The results of the conducted research helped expand knowledge of modern supply chains in terms of the risk, information and social capital management methods employed by companies (supply chain links) in the outsourcing and offshoring decisions they make. The results help assess the differences in approaching these issues and differences in the applicacion of risk, information and social capital management methods on different supply chain maturity levels within the context of Ch.C. Poirier’s model. They also present an overview of what effects these methods have.
