| Abstract | In managing many technologies, supply-chain sourcing accounts for a large share of the total cost of goods sold (COGS) that drives the competitive advantage of a multinational enterprise (MNE). To gain significant COGS advantages in the short-term, many technology-intensive MNEs collaborate some parts of their value-adding activities with the developing and emerging economies that offer low wages and large labor pools. These low-cost countries, however, have some hidden long-term sourcing risks as well. Until recently, there has been nascent research and no comprehensive models available for assessing such long-term sourcing risks. Many prior studies on modeling supply-chain risk implicitly assume global convergence rather than exploring national specificity, though supply-chain managers are increasingly concerned with country-specific risks [19]. This study, therefore, fills an important gap in research literature, by applying Ian Bremmer's J-Curve Openness-Stability model [1] to two illustrative applications: (A) sourcing from a low cost country such as India, and others, and (B) sourcing of oil and gas from the Middle East. An additional contribution was made with an innovative way to qualitatively assess long-term sourcing risk for BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) countries and 8 low cost countries, relative to the U.S. In conclusion, research limitations are reviewed and some managerial and policy implications are proposed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
