Download or read book Outsourcing for Radical Change written by Jane C. Linder and published by AMACOM/American Management Association. This book was released on 2004 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Foreword by Thomas H. Davenport, coauthor, What's the Big Idea? and The Attention Economy If you’re looking for a serious infusion of life-blood into your company, transformational outsourcing could be the answer. This new, bold approach is not just about handing off noncore functions in order to cut costs. It’s about transforming the entire operating model -- to boost a company’s stock price, increase its market share, or drive its profitability. Take an organization like National Savings and Investments (NS&I) of Great Britain. It quickly transformed itself from an out-of-step, cumbersome, and ultimately failing institution into a lean, successful market leader in the financial services sector. And it achieved radical organizational change by employing the innovative process of transformational outsourcing. Outsourcing for Radical Change supplies a detailed analysis of the transformation process that happened at NS&I, Thomas Cook, and others, as well as examples of companies that failed to align their transformation initiative with their strategic needs. Based on a major study by Accenture and in-depth interviews by the author, this original, research-based book examines the entire process from a practical, real-world perspective: from selecting your ultimate goal, to mapping out a workable action plan, to navigating the often formidable challenges you’ll face on your quest for radical change. You’ll discover: * 7 questions to help you determine if your business needs transformational outsourcing * 0 essential leadership skills needed to spearhead a change effort * 4 major ways that companies use outsourcing for transformation * 3 critical components for successfully executing transformational outsourcing and building high-commitment relationships * Guidelines for creating a working business model for fulfilling strategic goals * Techniques to help minimize the turmoil of dislocating people * Tips for measuring and rewarding success -- and recognizing and fixing failures In the business world, major change efforts have an abysmally poor track record, with poor execution standing out as the major culprit. By comparison, transformational outsourcing has been highly successful in 17 out of the 20 companies tracked in this groundbreaking book. It brings larger, faster, and more lasting impacts than most people ever expect. And it can be your secret weapon in the struggle to survive and prosper in the 21st century. Many companies use outsourcing for their backend operations. But few have tapped into the truly transformative power of outsourcing its major functions. This groundbreaking book looks at the handful of companies that have led enterprise-wide strategic change efforts using transformational outsourcing. Executives have used it to start up new companies, drive growth, consolidate mature companies, and execute stunning strategic turnaround -- swiftly and successfully in the vast majority of cases. Find out if your company can benefit from this potent new tool!"

Download or read book Decision Sciences and Technology for Globalisation ISDSI 2008 written by B.S. Sahaye and published by Allied Publishers. This book was released on 2008-11-05 with total page 686 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is not uncommon to find books and other publications in the literature dealing individually with the subjects of 'decision sciences', 'technology' and ' globalisation' However, there are very few instances of books which integrate these three dimensions in an umbrella framework. This publication is one such attempt. This book comprises of 58 papers contributed by leading academia from universities and management institutes in India and abroad. Many of the contributions have come from USA, Canada, UK, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, UAE, Bahrain, Taiwan, Brazil and Mexico, adding to the rich diversity of the thought processes explored in the papers. Some of these papers are country-specific, while some others provide a transnational perspective. Also, while some papers provide enriched conceptual frameworks in specific disciplines, building upon existing frameworks, several other papers provide application-oriented coverage, focused at select organizations or industries, further adding unique value to this book. There are eight sections in the book, namely: Supply Chain Management Operations Management Information Systems & ICT IT & E-Business Strategies Business Modeling Global Business: Issues & Challenges Marketing and Globalisation New Paradigms in Education and Globalisation The issues touched upon by various papers within each section are diverse and yet highly relevant and contemporary. We believe this book would be useful not only to academia, research scholars and students of various disciplines of management, but also to those in the industry in India and abroad, who are seeking conceptual inputs and experience sharing in their respective positions.
