Download or read book Civilian Agencies Development and Implementation of Insourcing Guidelines written by John K. Needham and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fed. agencies rely on a multisector workforce composed of fed. employees and contractor personnel to perform services as they carry out their missions. Determining whether to obtain services through insourcing with current or new fed. employees, outsourcing with private sector contractors, or co-sourcing with a combination of the two is an economic and strategic decision. The exec. branch has encouraged fed. agencies since the mid-1950s to obtain commercially available services from the private sector when outsourcing is cost-effective. This report identified: (1) actions taken to assist affected agencies as they develop insourcing guidelines; and (2) the status of selected civilian agencies' efforts to develop and implement insourcing guidelines.

Download or read book The Natural Organization of Outsourcing and Insourcing written by Peter Belohlavek and published by Blue Eagle Group. This book was released on 2007-12 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides executives with the necessary questions to approach outsourcing and insourcing decisions. Technological evolution brought about new ways to approach productive processes. Outsourcing or Insourcing is a question of convenience in the short and long-term. By understanding the nature of outsourcing and by having the necessary questions you will be able to build the natural complementation with third parties to increase productivity and quality. But insourcing is a natural alternative for certain business problems. The adequate mix of both outsourcing and insourcing alternatives will provide the adequate answer to your business problems. This book provides the description of the nature of the outsourcing and insourcing processes. This book is a support for executives that are familiar with the unicist approach to business strategy, and delivers the necessary questions and conceptual information to define the "blending" of outsourcing / insourcing decisions. It includes the unicist ontology of Outsourcing and Insourcing Processes and the questions needed to manage such processes. The implicit recommendation is to define to "outsource" when it is convenient and to "insource" when it is necessary. But when outsourcing has been decided it is necessary to make a deep reflection to define which type of outsourcing should be done. This book will help you consider the benefits, the risks and the costs implicit in each type of outsourcing.
Download or read book Information Systems Outsourcing written by Rudy Hirschheim and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-06-13 with total page 695 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four years have been passed away since the first edition of this book has been published. While certain key issues on IS sourcing like determinants and application service provision have become more mature from an academic and industry perspective, additional topics have arisen on the horizon. In particular, offshoring and business process outsourcing have led to numerous insightful publications which offer a valuable and indispensable holistic sourcing persp- tive. Thus, the second edition of our outsourcing book deals with enduring themes, new perspectives, and global challenges. In addition to classical themes like Sourcing Determinants (Part I), Relationship Aspects (Part II), and Experiences (Part III), we felt it worthwhile to add three new parts. They cover information systems outsourcing from a Vendor and Individual Perspective (Part IV), Application Service Providing (Part V) as well as Offshoring and Global Outsoucing (Part VI). Again we have thoughtfully tried to arrange a compilation of contemporary outsourcing research as a primer and a platform for scientific discourse. In contrast to the first edition, this book is not the outcome of an International Conference, but rather an update of important and relevant perspectives. Since the Third International Conference on Outsourcing of Information Services will take place 2007 in Heidelberg, Germany, it may be considered as an epilogue for further interactions and discussions.
Download or read book Rebels and Rage written by Adam Habib and published by Jonathan Ball Publishers. This book was released on 2019-03-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adam Habib, the most prominent and outspoken university official through the recent student protests, takes a characteristically frank view of the past three years on South Africa's campuses in this new book. Habib charts the progress of the student protests that erupted on Wits University campus in late 2015 and raged for the better part of three years, drawing on his own intimate involvement and negotiation with the students, and also records university management and government responses to the events. He critically examines the student movement and individual student leaders who emerged under the banners #feesmustfall and #Rhodesmustfall, and debates how to achieve truly progressive social change in South Africa, on our campuses and off. This book is both an attempt at a historical account and a thoughtful reflection on the issues the protests kicked up, from the perspective not only of a high-ranking member of university management, but also Habib as political scientist with a background as an activist during the struggle against apartheid. Habib moves between reflecting on the events of the last three years on university campuses, and reimagining the future of South African higher education.
