Download or read book Nine Keys to World Class Business Process Outsourcing written by Mary Lacity and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-04-23 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Business Process Outsourcing (BPO)-the sourcing of business services through external third parties-is a global phenomenon, which generated nearly $300 billion worldwide in 2012. BPO is highly IT-enabled, and on a growth trajectory that impacts across functions of major, medium and small enterprises, including procurement, human resources, accounting and finance, sales, marketing, legal, asset management and key administrative processes. Despite this size and spread, BPO services and the ability of clients to manage their providers, are still evolving and have a mixed record. In the course of their research, the authors have found only 20% of outsourcing arrangements are world-class performers. A further 25% are 'good', 40% are 'OK' and 15% are 'poor'. This book pinpoints and describes in detail the effective practices that characterize the top global BPO performers, including Microsoft, BP, EMC and TalkTalk. The authors provide case illustrations and examples throughout of how world-class practices were generated and evolved, and how they can be applied to real life settings and problem areas.

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.

Download or read book The Outsourcing and Offshoring Competitive Landscape and Its Uncertainties written by Ziad Raymond Sultan and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The outsourcing and offshoring competitive landscape is rapidly and constantly evolving, presenting new challenges and opportunities for providers and customers alike. Outsourcing providers are pressured to increase the value delivered to clients. American providers are rushing offshore in an attempt to achieve savings through lower labor cost, while Indian providers are attempting to establish a stronger presence onshore, to capture a greater share of the high-value services market. Meanwhile, the importance of business processes is being emphasized at every level. These market forces add to the difficulty of reaching a coherent understanding of outsourcing as a whole. Market research and consulting reports address the different aspects of outsourcing in a very haphazard manner, and inexperienced customers are having difficulties formulating realistic expectations. Cost savings vary significantly from case to case, and many other factors need to be taken into account, such as the risk of intellectual property loss and hidden costs due to loss of flexibility, both of which can be hard to quantify. Benchmarks are being used extensively in the industry, and associated with penalties. While the use of benchmarks can be a powerful tool, clients need to remain flexible, or both parties could end up disappointed.
Download or read book Landscapes of Capital written by Robert Goldman and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every era has its dominant representations. Just as landscape painters of previous centuries captured and expressed new modes of perceiving history, corporate advertisers now devise the imagined landscapes of global capitalism. Advertising functions as an omnipresent discursive form, publicly assembling and circulating the predominant tropes of our era. This project is based on the premise that corporate advertising’s landscapes help shape our epoch’s imaginative conceptualizations of the spatial relations, the temporal flows, and the cultural geographies that correspond to the emergence of a high-tech global economy. In Landscapes of Capital Robert Goldman and Steven Papson examine how corporate television ads from the last fifteen years have organized predominant images, tropes and narrative representations of a world in transition. The volume takes particular interest in how relations of space, time, speed, capital, technology and globalization are narratively represented in advertising. Goldman and Papson skillfully demonstrate how Capital represents itself at a moment of critical historical transition Ð the passage into high-tech globalization and the crises associated with it. They argue that corporate ads can be read to reveal how Capital represents itself and the world that is being wrought Ð in terms of the signifiers it prefers and the stories it tells.
