Book excerpt: This book collects and reports on the results of a study conducted on the Chinese Software and Services Outsourcing (SSO) industry, focusing on one of its main players as a key case study. Two sets of research findings are presented: first, the knowledge management and communication processes inherent within a highly collaborative software development project between the case study company and one of its long-term UK clients are explored and distilled into specific practices; second, at the organizational level, the strategies used by the company to build and exploit capabilities and to dynamically configure resources to promote specific value positions along its outsourced services value networks are identified and discussed. The significance of these findings for similar China-based global high-tech firms and the value of this organizational form in moving closer to the goals of the 2020 enterprise vision are both discussed, along with the implications of the findings for EU/UK businesses operating in similar digital domains.

This book uses tools and techniques from a variety of disciplines to show how to successfully plan, implement and manage services outsourcing arrangements. Based on in-depth analysis of large-scale outsourcing arrangements across a wide range of sectors, this is an excellent resource for both academics and practitioners who wish to understand more about this complex phenomenon.

The authors of this book and the companies they represent hail from the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Australia, underscoring the fact that drug discovery is an international effort.

Written in the styles unique to each author, the reader will enjoy getting into the minds of the writer. Our intention is to provide a story for each aspect of the process as you move from target validation, genomic profiling, screening, medicinal chemistry, modeling and informatics, safety evaluation, therapeutic target confirmation, through to protecting the results of the research, the intellectual property. Emerging trends in drug discovery support a rapidly growing business model in outsourcing, the virtual pharma company. In recognition of this important element are several success stories and learnings on arbitraging risks in discovery. Outsourcing provides the ultimate flexibility in managing projects that may quickly grow, progress in directions unanticipated, or fail early. Last but not least, this book provides insights in working with companies outside your region, with business cultures unfamiliar or unknown. Relationship building is about understanding your sponsor or customer in their cultural space and being able to establish the rapport for clear and open communications. Priceless!

Book excerpt: The business landscape is changing. Outsourcing is now a growing phenomenon in which specific functions are subcontracted to specialist companies, often elsewhere in the world. IT represents a particular case for outsourcing, both in terms of benefits and potential inter-organizational problems.

Drawing on the theories of interfirm networks and the boundaries of the firm, here, it provides an accessible and cutting-edge perspective. Incorporating industry examples from a global network of companies (including four case specific chapters), this book investigates partnerships in industrial sectors and IT functions. An invaluable resource for those involved in IT and new technology management as well as strategic business management and planning, this book presents all the necessary theory with an indispensable practical perspective.

Since cost cutting is a reality, institutions could benefit from learning from others' experiences. For this reason, more comprehensive and standardized data collection would be in everyone's best interest.
