Abstract:
Purpose – This paper proposes a new research agenda for information technology (IT) outsourcing,motivated by the belief that the social capital concept enables IT outsourcing researchers to capture more of the nuances of the client–vendor relationship in IT outsourcing arrangements. Design/methodology/approach – The paper builds a comprehensive framework of social capital based on Nahapiet and Ghoshal (1998) to examine the IT outsourcing life cycle. Past research on IT outsourcing is examined applying the parameters of the framework to identify issues that have been addressed in research on IT outsourcing and to uncover the gaps in past research. Findings – The social capital framework is applied to IT outsourcing which suggests new avenues for future outsourcing research. Research limitations/implications – While past research has identified success factors for IT outsourcing, a significant number of outsourcing arrangement still fail to meet expectations. The research agenda presented in this paper encourages an examination of IT outsourcing from a different perspective to determine how to successfully manage IT outsourcing. Originality/value – The paper provides a new framework that is useful for identifying the relationships among past research in IT outsourcing as well as for identifying potential topics for future research.

Abstract:
<p>Development and improvement of single-industry towns remain a burning issue not only because of the entrepreneurship and business development on the respective territories but mostly because of the need to improve the quality of life and prevent outflow of working population. Other acute problems involve the advanced development of problem areas, as well as the use of modern tools to disclose the potential for socio-economic development of single-industry towns. Outsourcing can be considered such a tool, if improved. The existing practice and experience of using outsourcing for diversification of single-industry economy and development of small and medium-sized businesses show the dependence of outsourcers on the economic situation of city-forming enterprises. The paper features an analysis of the world experience in outsourcing approach for single-industry cities. It is proposed to use outsourcing as a problem solving tool for single-industry towns. Together with large companies, cityforming enterprises and service industries, outsourcing can play an important role in solving social problems, in particular through "social outsourcing".</p>

Abstract:
Information Technology (IT) outsourcing practices are increasing due to valuable strategic benefits such as cost savings, value-added activities, high quality systems, risk reduction, efficiency and competitiveness, compliance and security, and more. Today, managing the outsourcing relationship between client and vendor has become one of the significant issues to be considered for the sustainability of outsourcing interaction and the success of project outcomes. This study examines the importance of social interaction structure on project success and examines how relationship dynamics are realized between the client and vendor side through a case of “failed” IT outsourcing project. This case study puts forward the importance of IT outsourcing on project success with an interpretive analysis. In this regard, the study examines the IT outsourcing project participants’ needs, the communication dynamics and the social network model in terms of structural and tie properties; and sheds light on the hidden issues of failed IT outsourcing projects for practitioners and researchers.

Abstract:
The role of manufacturing has changed from a producer of products and services to one that integrates the whole industry value chain. In this situation, this paper proposed a new-type networked manufacturing mode which is called outsourcing-driven social manufacturing (od-SM) to solve complex manufacturing problems and perform large-scale collaborative manufacturing. First, the framework of od-SM is proposed. Then, some key enabling technologies such as modeling and community structure of outsourcing-driven social manufacturing network (od-SMN) and generation of outsourcing-driven transient machining system (od-TMS) are talked about in detail. Finally, the conclusions and future work are put forward.

Abstract:
In an organization the role of human resources is a very important determining factor for the effectiveness and success of an organization in achieving its goals. But in reality, there are still many companies that use outsourching services. With the rise of the practice of outsourcing so far it is recognized to be more detrimental to workers because employment relations are always in the form of non-permanent or contractual contracts (fixed time contracts), lower wages, limited social security, lack of job security, and lack of career development guarantees. These factors make high turnover intention in PT XYZ. From every outsourching employee's complaints and based on data to the company, the authors indicate doubts about organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and work stress. The author uses questionnaires and interviews as a data collection tool and takes a sampling of the outsourching employee population. Then analyzed using the smartPLS application. The results showed that organizational commitment had a negative and significant effect on turnover intention, job satisfaction had a negative and significant effect on turnover intention and work stress had a positive and significant effect on the turnover intention of outsourcing employee in PT XYZ.

Abstract:
This article draws on the evidence gathered from a corporate social responsibility (CSR) research project in the area of global information technology (IT) outsourcing to examine the impact of liminality. IT outsourcing offers a novel context to study this phenomena, as it operates across the boundaries of both firm and country. The case study focuses on the specific project of a school in India, as the liminal space found ‘betwixt and between’ the client and provider of IT outsourcing services. Three stages of liminality are identified: separation (divestiture), transition (liminality) and incorporation (investiture); through the interpretive analysis of the empirical material. The construct of communitas is proposed for analysing the impact of liminality on the relationship between an outsourcing client and the provider. The understanding of liminality and communitas has both theoretical and practical implications, and contributes to the understanding of relationships and the wider role of CSR in global IT outsourcing.

Chapter 1: Getting Job from My Unemployed Friends: A Social Network Perspective. This paper aims to learn the role of social networks formed by unemployed workers in job transmission. We develop a model with an endogenous threshold of workers' job dissatisfaction. Compared with the case without social networks, it is shown that unemployed workers' welfare is higher and unemployment rate is lower. And social planner prefers the workers to become more selective. When networks differ in size, increasing the size difference is beneficial for workers with large social networks but detrimental to those with small ones; in addition, the unemployment rate decreases. However, because of the dilution effect, as the proportion of unemployed workers with large networks increases, it eventually results in losses for all unemployed workers, and the unemployment rate may follow a non-monotonic pattern. / Chapter 2: Another Look at Two-Tier Unemployment Compensation Reforming .This paper analyzes the importance of wage setting scheme in determining the impact of two-tier unemployment compensation reforming. We construct a stylized search model where wages are respectively set through collective and individual Nash bargaining. The model is calibrated with regard to the characteristics of US and French labor market. We first show that reducing the required contribution time of obtaining UI eligibility reduces the unemployment rate when the wage is determined through collective bargaining, but raises the unemployment rate when the wage is set through individual Nash bargaining. We second show that reducing the UI duration raises the unemployment rate no matter how wage is negotiated. Last, by doing a counterfactual simulation, we find that the welfare is lower, wage is lower and unemployment rate is higher when the wage is determined through collective bargaining. / Chapter 3: Exposure to new wave of Offshoring, Unemployment and Welfare. In this paper, we study the impact of increasing service relocation. We construct a simple two sector model and find that when the offshoring technology makes progress in the service sector, domestic unemployment can be reduced if the marginal task-specific offshoring cost is large enough. Reducing unemployment makes hiring domestic workers become more costly and consequently makes firm in the manufacturing sector expand its offshoring scale too. In addition to the analytical result, we do a calibration exercise using the parameters of Belgium and the numerical simulation predicts this possibility. Finally, in a simplified two country framework of offshoring, we show that the progress of offshoring technology reduces the unemployment of the low-wage country, raises global welfare and probably raise the global inequality

Abstract:
Etter Berlinmurens fall har de økonomiske rammene til Forsvaret vært synkende. Forsvarets krigsstruktur har under den samme tid blitt drastisk redusert. Fredsstrukturen med støttefunksjonene(logistikk mm) er ikke på samme måte berørt. Fredsstrukturen må tilpasses(skreddersys) til de oppgaver som Forsvaret har og framtidig vil ha. Dette vil medføre at vi må ha en mer fleksibel, effektiv og mindre organisasjon på drifts og produksjonssiden.Mange bedrifter har de siste 10-15 årene valgt å bruke outsourcing som et verktøy for å effektivisere og kostnadsredusere. Vellykkede outsourcing/integrasjonsprosesser kan gi høyere fleksibilitet og fordelen at man kan fokusere mer på kjernevirksomheten og ledelsen av denne. Hensikten med denne studien er å diskutere om Forsvaret kan effektiviseres gjennom outsourcing. Videre er ambisjonen å vurdere forutsetninger for outsourcing og hvordan og på hvilken områder man kan implementere outsourcing i Forsvaret.Med det store potensialet man har i Forsvaret for effektivisering kan outsourcing være et godt virkemiddell for mer rasjonell drift og derved lavere kostnader som kan brukes på investeringssiden. Vellykkede outsourcing/integrasjonsprosesser kan gi betydelige fordeler, men det må understrekes at relativt mange bedrifter er misfornøyd. Dette er ofte som en følge av at bedriftene ikke har gjennomført grundig forarbeid, planlegging og vurderinger før de har startet prosessene. Forsvaret , som er på vei inn i en ”outsourcingssituasjon”, ligger i faresonen. Flere krav og overordnede betingelser, satt av Forsvaret selv, følges ikke på en sikker måte. Dette kan medføre problemer på sikt og ”en outsourcing” uten ønskelig/optimal effekt.
With the end of the cold war, and a changed security threat, the Norwegian Armed Force military budget has declined .The  budget allocated to the purchase of new equipment and the modification and upgrade of existing systems must be increased in the future to meet the new (warfighting) scenarios. To meet this challenge CHOD NO have to  reduce the costs and improve the performance of its logistics(support) organization.The benefits of outsourcing are apparent every day in our national economy. Companies report that outsourcing could provide the desired benefits. Outsourcing enables companies and other organizations to focus on their core competencies and activities. The main intention of this study is to discuss if and how implementation of outsourcing can lower costs and provide  more efficient support(logistics)  to the Norwegian Armed Forces.The study discuss the problem through resource-based theory, and  a make-or –buy perspectives model has been used and developed for analyses and conclutions(empirical versus theory- test).The study shows that the Norwegian Armed Forces have to prepare and analyse ”their” organization prior to any outsourcing activity. Outsourcing integration must also be well prepared and analysed. Evaluation must be performed continuously.Some important areas are: • Outsourcing as a part of the Norwegian Armed Forces strategy and development to achieve future goals and visions(?) • Core competence/activity • Political  acceptance and approval • Power/dependence • Management/culture/boundaries • Readiness • Law and regulations • Cost analyses(lowest costs ?)

Abstract:
Frågeställningar: Hur arbetar parterna i outsourcing-arrangemang för att etablera effektiva relationer och social anpassning?   Hur påverkar utformningen av outsourcing-arrangemanget parternas arbete med social anpassning?   Syfte: Syftet med studien är att utifrån ett kontextuellt perspektiv av outsourcing-arrangemang undersöka hur ingående parter arbetar med relationer för att uppnå social anpassning. Med kontextuellt perspektiv syftar vi på de olika aspekter som tillsammans påverkar hur outsourcing-arrangemanget är utformat. Med detta vill vi skapa större förståelse för hur parter i olika outsourcing-arrangemang arbetar med relationerna till varandra i praktiken i en allt mer heterogen outsourcing-miljö. Vidare vill vi undersöka vilken påverkan olika utformning av outsourcing-arrangemang kan ha på detta arbete och hur det påverkar arbetet med att uppnå social anpassning. Vi vill genom detta skapa större förståelse för social anpassning och göra det mer tillämpbart i praktiken genom att utgå från ett mer detaljerat, kontextuellt perspektiv.     Metod: För att uppnå studiens syfte har en kvalitativ metod använts genom intervjuer som metod för insamlandet av data. Det har genomförts sex semistrukturerade intervjuer med sju respondenter som alla har erfarenhet av ledande roller i outsouricing-arrangemang. Teorin som har använts har varit kopplad till bland annat outsourcing-relationer, social anpassning, boundary spannning och offshore-outsourcing.     Slutsats: I praktiken arbetar företagen mer “ad hoc” med att vårda relationerna än vad som teoretiska riktlinjer föreslår. Däremot värderas social anpassning högt och bidrar därför till att inblandade parter praktiskt förändrar processer och sätter in insatser, samt utarbetar välformulerade avtal för att uppnå bättre social anpassning mellan parterna outsourcing-arrangemang. Vidare kan det konstateras att utformningen av outsourcing-arrangemanget, påverkar vilka krav som ställs på relationen i att uppnå social anpassning, och därigenom hur parterna behöver arbeta för att uppnå social anpassning.
Questions: How do clients and vendors operate to enable effective relations and social alignment in outsourcing arrangements?   How does the formation of the outsourcing arrangement affect the work in social alignment creation?   Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to research how organisations work with relationships to achieve social alignment between the parties from a contextual perspective. The contextual perspective involves the different aspects that comprises the forming of the outsourcing-arrangement. Through this, we aim to develop greater understanding in how the parties of an outsourcing arrangement form their relationships in practice in a heterogeneous outsourcing environment. This will give a wider perspective to how these contextual aspects affect the social alignment between parties and how the relationships need to be tended to in achieving effective relationships and social alignment.   Method: In achieving the purpose of this thesis, a qualitative method has been applied to the data collection through a series of interviews. A total of six interviews have been conducted with respondents with great experience and leading roles within outsourcing arrengements. Theories that have been applied involve outsourcing relationships, social alignment, boundary spanning and offshore outsourcing, among others.     Conclusion: The organisations work more “ad hoc” in practice than what theoretical guidelines propose. The concept of social alignment from a practical perspective on the other hand is widely applicable and leads to the changing of processes and arranging of efforts to better achieve social alignment between the parties. Further, the aspects that comprise the shape of the outsourcing arrangement are concluded to have effect on the many ways in which the parties work whit their relationships in the forming of social alignment.

Abstract:
This thesis develops a conceptual framework for relating Social Capital theory to large IT outsourcing projects. It uses this to explore how social factors that arise in outsourcing situations can influence organisations’ competence in IT innovation. It finds that social capital principles provide a valuable alternative perspective to established practices in managing IT outsourcing. Social capital can be applied both in the analysis of IT outsourcing results and in planning outsourcing transitions that lead to improved longer term knowledge creation and innovation capability. Research was carried out in two large and established users of IT outsourcing, a UK government agency and a major bank. Based on this, two detailed case studies were prepared and an interpretive methodology used to understand how the respective outsourcing projects had developed. A conceptual model of the interacting organisational factors that lead to IT competence is derived from existing literature and tested against the case study data. This model sets out the new concept of an ‘outsourcing enclave’ as a unique structure in which knowledge resources of outsourcing client and vendor are combined, supported by social capital that is distinct from that in either feeding organisation. The thesis uses the model to observes how, in the cases studied, effective management of social capital in outsourcing enclaves has created situations conducive to knowledge creation and innovation and the barriers to this that were encountered. This reveals that social capital management in these organisations called for time after outsourcing transition during which social capital can stabilise in the enclave, for learning from the achievement of short term objectives and for application of relational governance alongside the outsourcing contract. The main contributions of the thesis are the conceptual framework of the outsourcing enclave and the use of this to apply social capital theory to specific situations of IT outsourcing. It also demonstrates how theorised dimensions of social capital can be used to interpret outcomes in real outsourcing situations. The cases provide further empirical support for social capital theory and their interpretation a basis for further research in the specific area of outsourcing and IT outsourcing in particular.

Abstract:
Spending by U.S. companies in offshore IT services continues at unprecedented levels despite a high failure rate. This study fills a gap in the existing literature by examining the client-vendor offshoring relationship through the theoretical lens of social exchange theory at the organizational level of analysis from the client's perspective. Social exchange theory focuses on the exchange of activities between two parties, whether they are individuals or companies and was used as a basis for examining the client and vendor relationship. Variables were identified by a review of the literature primarily from IT outsourcing and offshoring but also from general IT, marketing, sociology and organizational science literature. Data was collected using a field survey of Fortune 500 CIOs representing a population of organizations at the forefront of the offshoring phenomenon. The survey instrument was developed based on the adaptation of previously validated scales. Hypotheses regarding the correlations between social variables such as trust, communication, dependence, power, shared values and offshoring success were tested using Spearman's rho correlation. Seven of the hypotheses were supported, four hypotheses were not supported and one hypothesis was deemed not testable due to lack of information.

Livsmedelsindustrin utgör en viktig del av svensk industri och är den fjärde största branschen i Sverige mätt i omsättning. Syftet var att kartlägga hur stora och medelstora svenska producerande livsmedelsföretag i Skåne arbetar med produktutveckling samt hur de arbetar med och vilken inställning de har till outsourcing. Undersökningens resultat grundas på halvstrukturerade kvalitativa intervjuer på intervjupersonernas företag vid nio livsmedelsproducerande företag i Skåne. I resultatdelen visas en kartläggning över hur företagen i stora drag arbetar med produktutveckling från idé till färdig produkt, samt hur företagen arbetar med uppföljning av existerande produkter. Resultatdelens kärna ligger vid outsourcing av produktutveckling och företagens inställning till detta, samt vilka delar och i vilken utsträckning företagen arbetar med outsourcing i dagsläget. Resultatet visar en övervägande positiv inställning till outsourcing. Beroende på var när och hur är externa tjänster mer eller mindre intressant för företagen att köpa in. Slutsatsen är att de stora och medelstora företagen är positivt inställda till outsourcing och ser ljust på framtiden när det gäller produktutveckling.

Abstract:
This thesis answers the research question: How do corporate social and environmental responsibilities (CSER) affect global IT outsourcing (GITO)? In answering this question we identified seven key trends that are directing CSER in GITO. We found that CSER in outsourcing is new and relevant, with growing interest from outsourcing providers and buyers. CSER will be driven by consumer concerns and employee expectations, which are particularly relevant for outsourcing buyers with a consumer oriented product or service, such as banks or retail organisations. The need to attract and retain employees will increase the need for CSER at outsource providers. Similarly, CSER is important to an organisation's brand reputation with consumers, employees and other stakeholders such as investors. Within CSER, environmental topics are a growing issue: the need to reduce power consumption and thereby reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from carbon-based power production. We learned of 'green-washing', the need to be suspicious of CSER claims that cannot be fully validated. This led us, and others, to suggest that due diligence is required to counter possible in-authentic CSER by GITO providers. As a method of validating CSER claims, we propose using global standards such as the Global Reporting Initiative and ISO 26000 when examining CSER at outsource providers. We examined CSER from a strategic perspective, to understand if CSER provides a long-term advantage to outsource providers. Directed by the research data and theoretical frameworks, we proposed a model of strategic and responsive CSER suggested by Porter and Kramer (2006). Responsive CSER describes the set of basic requirements that have become 'table-stakes' for GITO providers. Strategic CSER distinguishes outsource providers by providing long-term benefits that are not easily copied by competitors. By applying the strategic/responsive CSER model for GITO in a case study we developed a model that provides guidance to outsource buyers and their providers on when and how to share and collaborate on CSER projects. The key contribution of this research is a model that describes the characteristics for buyers and providers to collaborate on CSER projects to build trust in the outsourcing relationship and to create shared benefits for both parties and to society or the environment. This research applies the Porter and Kramer model to an outsourcing relationship to understand how CSER can be used to improve GITO.

Abstract:
The outsourcing of public services often involves public sector workers transferring their employment to a private or non-profit company, yet little is known about what this transition is like for the employees themselves. This thesis investigates the employee experience of ‘being outsourced’ in the public leisure sector, which is an under-researched area, and concentrates attention toward the implications for the employment relationship. The research draws on social exchange theory as way of conceptualising the employment relationship and henceforth explores changes to it during the process of outsourcing. The research is primarily based on three longitudinal case studies (leisure services outsourced to Leisure Trusts) which includes the collection of 85 semi-structured interviews. In general, the findings suggest that the pre-transfer experience of outsourcing is likely to be a difficult emotional process to go through, with post-transfer implications including the worsening of terms and conditions and less than expected developmental opportunities. Yet, despite the difficulties of the transition, the findings also challenge the notion that the longer-term post-transfer implications are ‘all negative’ for employees, especially with regards to the quality and socioemotional side of the employment relationship – however these latter outcomes seem to be heavily dependent on the values and managerial style of the Leisure Trust managers, as well as any changes made to terms and conditions.

Abstract:
Aim/Purpose: During an evolutionary time for Iran the purpose of this research study was to establish the outsourcing best practices in the area of supply chain by investigating in the construction firms in Iran, which is identified as the most successful industry in outsourcing. Background: Clarifying outsourcing decisions have been a difficult and challenging task because the outsourcing itself is complex. Meanwhile, the construction industry is recognized as one of the most complex and vibrant industries, although no concentration was set to outsourcing practices and its approach in construction firms in Iran. This paper aims to address this gap. Methodology: Based on a combination of academic literature, screening interviews, and survey, data was collected from Iranian construction firms involved in outsourcing. Participants were senior managers and CEOs from twenty one large construction firms in Tehran. The analysis methods in this study were centered on comparative analysis, factor analysis, Pearson correlation, and relative important indices. Contribution: The paper offers insight into outsourcing decisions, focusing on Iranian construction firms. Findings: The findings identified that construction firms regularly choose to outsource their operation functions/processes to find operational expertise, a wider pool of knowledge and experience, and cost restructuring. The study revealed that selective outsourcing was the popular practiced outsourcing type in construction firms. On the other hand, the study has acknowledged that construction firms mainly practiced strategic outsourcing as a level of outsourcing. The study established that conducting a need analysis prior to making the outsourcing decision is the outsourcing success element for Iranian construction firms. Lastly, the result shows that nearly two thirds of the large construction firms were identified as successful at outsourcing process. Recommendations for Practitioners and Researchers: The outcomes of this research offer practical value for construction managers and researchers to choose the best outsourcing practices method. Impact on Society As the sanctions are removed, it is predicted the economic settings in Iran will become more firm and the findings of the study will assist the successful implementation of outsourcing in economic growth of Iran. Future Research: To further development of this study, an in-depth investigation into risks involved in outsourcing, reasons to insource, economical and environmental effects on outsourcing process, cultural and social effects, as well as the result of sanctions on the process of outsourcing can provide more insight to the outsourcing practitioners.
