abstract

Creative sourcing strategies, designed to extract more value from the supply base, have become a competitive, strategic differentiator. To fuel creativity, companies install sourcing teams that can capitalize on the specialized knowledge and expertise of their employees across the company. This article introduces the concept of a team creativity climate (TCC) - team members' shared perceptions of their joint policies, procedures, and practices with respect to developing creative sourcing strategies – as a means to address the unique challenges associated with a collective, cross-functional approach to develop valueenhancing sourcing strategies. Using a systematic scale development process that validates the proposed concept, the authors confirm its ability to predict sourcing team performance, and suggest some research avenues extending from this concept.

4. Conclusion

At the heart of this study lies the recognition that developing creative sourcing strategies is a social endeavor. It arises from collective sensemaking and interactions among employees assigned to sourcing teams, as well as other involved stakeholders. These teams cannot rely fully on standard processes or top-down instructions to develop breakthrough sourcing strategies. Accordingly, this study set out to illuminate the process by which team members develop shared beliefs about how to approach creative sourcing strategy building. Drawing on the notion of work-unit climates and adopting creativity as the focal facet, this study makes two primary contributions.
