Abstract:

It provides particularly constructive advice for managers who have become outsourcing suppliers and buyers, but who have not yet attained the strategic partner end of the spectrum. For participants in MBA and executive management courses this book offers comprehensive coverage of a topic of ever-greater relevance in this era of increasing globalisation. The book may also be useful for in-house training programmes in which insourcing and outsourcing are part of the curriculum."--BOOK JACKET.

Summary

Outsourcing became fashionable in the late 1980s, came of age in the 1990s, and is now a normal part of corporate life. Written by well-known and respected business authors and incorporating new research from Copenhagen Business School, this book covers the newest elements of outsourcing today and discusses how strategic alliances should be established between the buyer and supplier. Topics explored throughout include the scope, scale and importance of what is outsourced; the pricing and risk sharing involved; and changes to organizations which lead them to seek more outsourcing.
