Abstract:
Outsourcing is an interfirm relationship between a customer firm and supplier firm, where the customer firm is in need of services and the supplier firm provides those services. Since such interfirm relationships are essential for most businesses, this chapter suggests that firms need to be careful in adopting suitable strategies. An array of strategies that can be used for both domestic and global outsourcing of information technology work are described, so that business managers can choose an appropriate strategy in order to get the best deal for their information technology needs.
