THE DEFINITIVE RESOURCE ON OUTSOURCING

Outsourcing is the hottest topic in business, and it will
likely stay that way. Managers, workers, executives, and almost
anyone else involved in any large business will probably have to
deal with it one day, in one way or another. Outsourcing is a
business issue first and foremost, but it's also a political,
personal, and cultural issue that many people, not least managers
and executives, find difficult to fully understand.

Outsourcing documents the theory, facts, myths, benefits,
and costs of outsourcing and gives managers the information they
need to implement an outsourcing program that will help their
business the most and hurt their employees the least. Bringing
together noted academics, corporate leaders, and outsourcing
practitioners, the book covers all the major topics in the
outsourcing debate, but also presents expert guidance for business
leaders dealing with the practical side of this global issue:

* What outsourcing is and is not

* Which companies can benefit from it

* Incentives and implications

* Notable successes and failures

* Outsourcing for small and large companies

* Communicating about outsourcing

* Outsourcing terminology

* And much more
