Abstract
In recent years, the business environment has become intensely competitive.
Firms, searching for sources of competitive advantage begin to look into the potential
of sourcing in adding value as purchased inputs account for 60% to 80% of cost of
goods sold. Thus, the objective of this research paper is to investigate which sourcing
strategy, intra-firm or inter-fiRn, will lead to better supplies' quality, delivery and cost
and whether in the process of achieving this outcome, it is moderated by environmentrelated
factors.
