Book Synopsis Offshoring Information Technology by : Erran Carmel
Download or read book Offshoring Information Technology written by Erran Carmel and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-05-12 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decision to source software development to an overseas firm (offshoring) is looked at frequently in simple economic terms - it's cheaper, and skilled labor is easier to find. In practice, however, offshoring is fraught with difficulties. As well as the considerable challenge of controlling projects at a distance, there are differences in culture, language, business methods, politics, and many other issues to contend with. Nevertheless, as many firms have discovered, the benefits of getting it right are too great to ignore. This book explains everything you need to know to put offshoring into practice, avoid the pitfalls, and develop effective working relationships. It covers a comprehensive range of the important offshoring issues: from ROI to strategy, from SLA to culture, from country comparisons to provider marketing. Written for CTOs, CIOs, consultants, and other IT executives, this book is also an excellent introduction to sourcing for business students.

Book Synopsis Impact of Offshoring in Computer Science by : Abhishek Asokan
Download or read book Impact of Offshoring in Computer Science written by Abhishek Asokan and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offshoring is a term that has become prominent in today's business and economic world. It's not a new term for the global economy. The semi conductor and hardware industries in the 1970's and the automobile industry in the 1980's have seen earlier forms of offshoring. Later the manufacturing and production industry adopted this strategy and now almost all industries using IT and IT enabled services implement offshoring as a business strategy. So what is different between the early forms of offshoring and the current form of offshoring? We believe that early forms of offshoring affected only a specific industry whereas the present day offshoring potentially affects almost all industries and businesses. This is primarily because application of Information Technology has made businesses more manageable and more profitable than without IT. Thus almost all businesses are using IT and it follows that IT offshoring will affect almost all businesses and industries. Our thesis involves studying the impact of offshoring in the field of computer science. In particular, we examine the social and ethical implications of offshoring with relevance to IT.

Book Synopsis Services Offshoring and its Impact on the Labor Market by : Deborah Winkler
Download or read book Services Offshoring and its Impact on the Labor Market written by Deborah Winkler and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-09-18 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Services – from information technology to research to finance – are now as subject to international trade as goods have been for decades. What are the labor market consequences of the recent surge in services offshoring? While offshoring has traditionally been found to affect only less-skilled workers in industrialized countries, this study finds that services offshoring also has negative consequences for high-skilled workers. Focusing on the case of Germany, Deborah Winkler shows how services offshoring has grown, who is most affected and what policy makers can do. Winkler measures the impact of services offshoring on German productivity, employment, and employment structure. She provides a well-balanced synthesis of theoretical insights, detailed empirical analysis, and economic policy recommendations. Although her main focus is on the case of Germany, many insights are also applicable to other developed countries.

Download or read book The Offshoring of Engineering written by National Academy of Engineering and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-08-14 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The engineering enterprise is a pillar of U.S. national and homeland security, economic vitality, and innovation. But many engineering tasks can now be performed anywhere in the world. The emergence of "offshoring"- the transfer of work from the United States to affiliated and unaffiliated entities abroad - has raised concerns about the impacts of globalization. The Offshoring of Engineering helps to answer many questions about the scope, composition, and motivation for offshoring and considers the implications for the future of U.S. engineering practice, labor markets, education, and research. This book examines trends and impacts from a broad perspective and in six specific industries - software, semiconductors, personal computer manufacturing, construction engineering and services, automobiles, and pharmaceuticals. The Offshoring of Engineering will be of great interest to engineers, engineering professors and deans, and policy makers, as well as people outside the engineering community who are concerned with sustaining and strengthening U.S. engineering capabilities in support of homeland security, economic vitality, and innovation.
Book Synopsis Information Technology Offshoring by : Vikash Sananda
Download or read book Information Technology Offshoring written by Vikash Sananda and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outsourcing, as a business strategy, has been adopted for a very long time now. Offshoring, a subset of outsourcing, gained prevalence during the late eighties of the last century. Over the years, IT has evolved from being a back office procedure to a decisive and strategic paradigm, the rapid development of which has impacted, on a global scale, the way businesses conduct their operations. Offshoring has played a major role in bringing about this transformation and helping establish an industry of epic proportions in terms of geographical spread, operational diversity and impact on business and social aspects the world over. While popular perception identifies offshoring as the most effective way to trim business costs. This is not true for many reasons; the primary being, one size does not fit all and the cost-saving benefits are not always realized. The first half of this thesis aims at providing a better understanding of the IT offshoring industry by looking at the different types of outsourcing and offshoring, certain new trends that are taking form and have the potential to gain prevalence in the future, perceived benefits of IT offshoring and issues that need to be considered by an IT business before it adopts offshoring as a strategy to achieve its goals. Also, in order to demonstrate the impact of offshoring, we discuss certain implications of it on the computer science community with regard to computer science education. From a client business's perspective, there seem to be no consistent offshoring models to depict the big picture of how offshoring actually takes place. We present a general offshoring model in the latter half of the thesis that incorporates two-stage cost benefit analysis to identify candidate processes for offshoring. We then move on to present an IT process-offshoring specific model that has been derived from other models adopted by a number of client businesses and service providers, albeit customized to reflect specific process-offshoring needs. We call it the staged process-offshoring model. Our model is different in the sense that it establishes a balanced view of process-offshoring events taking place at both ends of the offshoring spectrum as opposed to presenting just strategies employed by the service provider to fulfill requirements of the client. With the model being structured in layers, each layer is present on the onshore and offshore end, which contributes towards the construction of a regulated offshoring management architecture in addition to demonstrating a job creation potential not just at the service provider location but, more essentially, at the client location.

Book Synopsis Service Offshoring, Productivity, and Employment by : Mary Amiti
Download or read book Service Offshoring, Productivity, and Employment written by Mary Amiti and published by INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND. This book was released on 2005-12-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper estimates the effects of offshoring on productivity in U.S. manufacturing industries between 1992 and 2000, using instrumental variables estimation to address the potential endogeneity of offshoring. It finds that service offshoring has a significant positive effect on productivity in the US, accounting for around 11 percent of productivity growth during this period. Offshoring material inputs also has a positive effect on productivity, but the magnitude is smaller accounting for approximately 5 percent of productivity growth. There is a small negative effect of less than half a percent on employment when industries are finely disaggregated (450 manufacturing industries). However, this affect disappears at more aggregate industry level of 96 industries indicating that there is sufficient growth in demand in other industries within these broadly defined classifications to offset any negative effects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three years have passed since the second edition of this book was published. The field of IT outsourcing continues to grow in practice as well as in academia and draws further attention in both domains. Aspects of traditional outsourcing (Part II) have remained pronounced but are becoming more mature. While o- sourcing determinants are still important, they are now of less interest to researchers. Relationship management (Chap. 1) and capability management (Chap. 2) continue to be of interest; so too are outsourcing outcomes (Chap. 3) and, as a new focus, innovation aspects (Chap. 4). These are motivating more and more research activities, complementing the lifecycle of traditional o- sourcing. We note significant growth in the field of IT offshoring (Part II). In our third edition, we offer research results on offshoring patterns and trends (Chap. 5), the crucial aspect of knowledge sharing (Chap. 6), vibrant examples for offshoring dynamics (Chap. 7), and some new contributions on the deter- nants of offshoring success (Chap. 8). The last part of our book investigates the field of business process outsourcing (Part III). In this section, issues such as standardization, process outsourcing to India and deinstitutionalization patterns in the health-care sector are presented. Given these new subjects, we believe that Enduring Themes, Global Challenges, and Process Opportunities is an appropriate subtitle for this third edition of the monograph. Again, we have thoughtfully compiled contem- rary outsourcing research as a primer and a platform for scientific discourse.
