The field of sourcing decision problems encompasses an extensive and continually expanding body of research literature, reflecting the complexity and significance of the decisions involved. Therefore, this paper does not strive for exhaustive coverage. Instead, its primary purpose is to illustrate the diversity of approaches and methods employed in addressing sourcing decision problems. The analysis of the literature indicates that consensus has been reached regarding the significance of the sourcing decision. However, various research studies highlight different aspects of the sourcing decision problem domain and employ a diverse array of methods and techniques. By highlighting different perspectives, methodologies, and research findings, this paper contributes to a deeper understanding of the complexities of sourcing decisions and provides valuable insights for practitioners and researchers alike.
