A Guide to Global Sourcing
A Guide to Global Sourcing examines the opportunities and obstacles associated with offshore outsourcing and other global delivery models, and provides practical advice for IT professionals and senior managers on supervising projects successfully.;Global Sourcing is a sensitive and controversial issue. There has been a good deal of theoretical discussion
about the subject in the press; speculation about the number of UK-based jobs that will be lost and hearsay customer complaints about communicating with call centre workers overseas. What have been missing, however, are factual details of how companies have gone about offshoring, and what the results have been. Companies are often reluctant to talk openly about their experiences, making it difficult for other managers to learn from their mistakes and successes.;This is what makes A Guide to Global Sourcing different. Elizabeth Sparrow explains a range of business models, supported with real-life examples from a variety of industries.
