Abstract

Information System (IS) Outsourcing is one of the powerful alternatives to guarantee the competitive advantages in the rapidly changing business environment. Most studies on IS outsourcing area have focused on the Critical Success Factors(CSFs) influencing the Success of IS outsourcing or the performance measuring the success of IS outsourcing projects. The CSFs or the performances which measures the success of IS outsourcing project have limitations to explain how to succeed in doing IS outsourcing project. This study uses Real Options Approach to make IS outsourcing projects' success by recognizing and minimizing IS outsourcing risks.

본 연구에서는 정보시스템 아웃소싱 프로젝트의 성공을 위하여 실물옵션접근법을 활용하여 아웃소싱 프로젝트를 수행할 때 발생할 수 있는 위험을 효과적으로 관리하는 방법에 대하여 살펴보고자 한다. 지금까지 대부분의 정보시스템 아웃소싱 프로젝트 관련 연구는 핵심성공요인 또는 프로젝트의 성과 측정에 맞추어져 주로 수행되어 오고 있다. 정보시스템 아웃소싱 프로젝트의 대표적인 형태인 ASP(Application Service Provider)에 대하여 아웃소싱 프로젝트를 수행하는 도중에 발생 가능한 여러 가지 유형의 위험을 정의하고 이 위험의 발생원천을 살펴봄으로써 아웃소싱 프로젝트의 성공을 위하여 관리 가능한 위험요인들을 실물옵션접근법을 이용하여 효과적으로 관리하는 방법을 제시하였다.
