Abstract

With economic activities of all the enterprises continued to expand globally, the
enterprise's management is no longer regarded as a single enterprise management, but
began to introduce the concept of the supply chain. A large number of enterprises seek
to survive and development under the rapidly changing new economic order,
international purchasing has become a major strategy. Supply chain management
became key part in real competition between enterprises; any business will get chance
to upgrade their product in linking with international production and procurement
chain. Globalization enables the production, sale, distribution and activities as well as
labor, technical and financial resources pass across borders in the world to find a
better configuration, that start integration of business activities around the world. With
the indepth development of global economic integration and improvement of the
global market, the globalization of market has accelerated, the major multinational
companies, business groups have set new strategies toward the low cost resources

areas.
The global manufacturing has moved to Asia, in particular, to China, China has a
vital part in multinational’s procurement chain. With China's accession to the WTO,
economic globalization and global sourcing came into the Chinese market. Now
China has become the world's processing plant, which is an irrefutable fact. Foreign
investment in China has increased year by year, Chinese enterprises has become an
important node of entire world supply chain. China is one of the countries in the
world that can produce all categories of goods; none foreign companies do not value
the sales and purchases of Chinese market, which has become the consensus. Many
global buyers consider China as a major source of global sourcing. China is becoming
the world's "manufacturing center", China has become a supplier of components and
finished products of many multinational companies, some of them have directly
moved their global procurement center to China, and imported a variety of products
from China, many multinational companies accompany with supply chain strategy.
Global procurement and supply chain integration activities in the performance of

China's market have been more and more frequently: large multinational companies
and procurement network of international purchasing organizations are extending to
the Chinese market; some of China's economically developed cities and regions
became the international procurement centers. Statistics show that: multinational
corporations purchases in China, accounting for over 10% of our total exports; in
2002, multinational purchasing centers have procured more than 30 billion dollars
from China; over 50 billion dollars in 2005, and more than 100 billion U.S. dollars in
2006.
Many multinational retail giants include Wal-Mart, Carrefour, Metro, Tasco,
Ito-Yokado, Auchan are targeting the Chinese market for purchases. According to
statistics, by the end of 2002, around 20 global procurement and distribution centers
were set up in Shenzhen, and over 45 were set up in Shanghai, most of which are from
famous international enterprises. Manufacturing companies are also interested in
sourcing from China. Many of these manufacturers are the leaders in the industry,
with advanced management ideas and experience, reflected all aspects of enterprise
development, including the maintenance of the entire supply chain. Presently, Ford
purchases about 90 billion U.S. dollars of auto parts globally each year, $ 200 million
of it from China. China has become the main country for spare parts procurement by
Ford; Motorola's procurement in China in 2004 amounted to 23 billion yuan RMB, in
2005, it reached 30 billion yuan, accounting for more than 60% of Motorola's global
procurement; Sony Ericsson purchased 5 billion yuan RMB and 10.5 billion value of
parts from China in 2003 and 2004, Sony Ericsson, through its Beijing procurement
center, bought 22 billion yuan worth (2.7 billion U.S. dollars) of mobile phone parts in
2005, and its sourcing from China reached 4.5 billion U.S. dollars in the following
years; GE (China) decided to "buy more" in China; DuPont in China has also enlarged
the procurement of goods from raw materials and ancillary products parts, to
construction of plants involved in the local building materials.
Manufacturers and retailers around the world have long been willing to cooperate
with Chinese enterprises, because China has a consumer market of 1.3 billion
populations, with cheap labor resources, raw materials resources and the necessary

technology. With the improvement of economy scale, cross-border purchases in China
presented an unprecedented scale and momentum. However, for multinational
companies, doing business with China is not an easy thing, some problems were
appeared in the development. Although the reform and opening up started in 70's of
20th century, China's situation, the policy procedures of different departments still has
some conflict with some of foreign business model, foreign investors are subject to
different restrictions in some areas.
The theoretical foundation of this research draws from the theory of supply-chain
management, and it limits its focus on existing MNCs’ supply chain in China.
Relative literatures are reviewed to construct a conceptual framework and formulate
propositions linking important components to supply-chain management
implementation of MNCs in China. It tries to analyze the activities of the MNCs’
supply chain management in China, examine the influences that may influence its
implementation, find problems existed in MNCs’ supply chain practice in China with
possible suggestions and provide managers of multinational companies and
researchers with a framework for investigating and effectively managing
organizational supply-chain networks in lie with conditions prevalent in China. It will
also recommend directions to be taken in SCM-related research so that knowledge can
be acquired to aid professionals and companies in the adoption of this practice.
A qualitative approach is used in this study, since the main research problem of
this thesis involves lots of data that cannot be quantified. Regarding the nature of it,
case study is treated as the methodology to explore and delineate actual supply chain
practices of MNCs in China. The primary data of the study is got from interview of
the target MNCs’ supply chain management officers and observation of their practices.
The secondary data consists of books, journals, research papers, articles, and company
reports collected from the library, target companies and through Internet.
This research is separated into 8 chapters namely: 1. Introduction, 2. Supply
chain, 3. Supply chain management, 4. Research framework, 5. Methodology, 6. Case
study, 7. In-depth analysis on MNCs’ supply chain in China, 8. Conclusion.
