Tiivistelmä
The aim of this study is to examine how international enterprises control their business partners and particularly their suppliers in order to manage their outsourced activities. To conduct this research the following two case companies were selected: the case company H&M and the case company X. The study aims to answer the question: how international companies control their suppliers and which way of control is the most effective nowadays.
The theoretical background will be introduced first to give an understanding of the importance of having effective control over outsourced suppliers and secondly to specify what type of control exists in MNE-supplier relationships.
The data was collected from the interview with the case company’s X representative, academic books as well as the scientific articles and company’s official reports.
The study shows the way of applying the effective control system and highlights the importance of having the Code of Conduct and cooperation with auditing programs.
