Open publisher page 5 citations

Abstract

Outsourcing has been a significant industry trend over the past decade. However, some scholars have stressed that companies may have gone too far by outsourcing core, as well as non-core competencies. Using a survey of large U.S. corporations our study documents the current status of outsourcing, differentiating between core and non-core competencies. We identify functions being outsourcing, satisfaction with sourcing decisions, as well as links to organizational performance measures.
