Outsourcing Terms - A Literature Review from an ISD Perspective
- 2008
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Information Technology (IT) has made it easier for firms to communicate globally. Improved IT capabilities and the increased global collaboration have been drivers of the growth of IT ´outsourcing´. This growth has resulted in a variety of IT ´outsourcing´ terms used to denote both global and domestic "client - IT-supplier" relationships. An introductory literature review showed that there exist no common standard definitions of ´outsourcing´ terms used for describing the contracting of ISD activities between a client and an IT-supplier. This may lead to confusion. The first purpose chosen for the paper is therefore to review how the variety of commonly used ISD ´outsourcing´ terms are defined in the literature. Based on these identified definition differences, the second purpose is then to propose a structured set of definitions of ISD ´outsourcing´ terms.The review process of IT/ISD ´outsourcing´ research included two steps. Firstly, a literature search study was conducted. The literature search study resulted in the collection of about 240 articles. The second step of the literature review process included reading each paper. The selection criterion for the articles to be included in the review study was that the article should focus on IT/ISD ´outsourcing´. As a result, about 100 of 240 articles were reviewed. These articles constitute the majority of the articles studied in the literature review.From the literature review, different definitions of the variety of ISD ´outsourcing´ terms have been identified. One conclusion drawn from the literature review is that many of the different ISD ´outsourcing´ terms are used as special cases of the generic ´ISD outsourcing´ term. The different ISD ´outsourcing´ terms found in the literature have been analysed and categorised based on a geographical distance perspective. Another finding from the literature review is that the relationship perspective often is neglected when ISD ´outsourcing´ terms are defined. Therefore, definitions from a relationship perspective for the majority of the ISD ´outsourcing´ terms identified are proposed. The proposed ISD ´outsourcing´ definitions provide a structured set of definitions based on both the geographical distance perspective and the relationship perspective. Furthermore, a graphical representation of how different IT-supplier locations, from the client perspective, relate to the definitions of six of the proposed ISD ´outsourcing´ terms is provided.

Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- VINNOVA har i ett antal olika arbetsmöten identifierat e-tjänster i offentlig verksamhet somett tillväxtområde. För att förstå området bättre, samt de kritiska frågor som behöver belysasför att hållbar tillväxt ska kunna skapas, har VINNOVA ansett det nödvändigt att med hjälpav olika forskningsmiljöer få till stånd ett antal fördjupningsstudier. En av dessa studier röranvändarperspektivet. Föreliggande dokument är denna fördjupningsstudies slutdokument.Delar av studien har presenterats muntligt inom ramen för en hearing som VINNOVAanordnat den 4 november 2003.

Beyond Assessing Economic Net Value from Electronic Commerce-Supported Business Process Redesign - a Discussion of the PENG Method
- 2004
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Business-to-business (B2B) electronic commerce is very much about relationship-building and bringing about mutual improvements for both trading partners. In the B2B context, the expected economic "net-value" is a primary concern when considering a deployment in an electronic commerce system or not. The main purpose is to suggest some issues to consider for possible modications of the PENG method. Firstly, this empirically grounded method for assessing an organization's economic "net value" from an IT investment is described. Then a review of some of the IS evaluation literature, structured along Pettigrew's contextual framework, is presented. In the concluding part of the paper some of the suggested modifications of the PENG method is presented
