Corporate managers look at IT outsourcing as long-term strategic choices not as short-term tactical ones, and maximizing the effect that IT outsourcing brings about is the main concern to them. Emerging different types of IT outsourcing and their effects on the corporate business decisions necessitate the research on this subject. According to previous researches, the Intent for IT outsourcing is categorized as IS Improvement, Business Impact, and Commercial Exploitation. The decison factors for these IT outsourcing include corporate strategy types, IT role, and interaction between these two. Firm size and IT maturity are selected as moderating factors to add the credibility to the research of the effect of IT outsourcing decision making. Analyzing IT outsourcing data collected from 61 large-size and mid-size domestic firms revealed that corporate strategy rather than IT role is more significant factor affecting the intent for IT outsourcing decision. That means the decision of outsourcing intent is affected by corporate strategy types. Defenders(as in corporate strategy types) tend to use IT outsourcing more as a means to improve information systems, compared to analyzers and reactors. Prospectors tend to use IT outsourcing more as a commercial exploitation, compared to analyzers and reactors. These outcomes prove that corporate strategy characteristics reflect outsourcing intent. There were previous researches that showed outsourcing decision depends on IT role however the hypothesis was rejected that IT role determines outsourcing intent. It was also rejected that the interaction between corporate strategy types and IT role determines outsourcing intent. Corporate decision makers should first analyze corporate strategy, and reflect it on the outsourcing intent when they make IT outsourcing decisions. Only the precise defining of IT outsourcing intent will lower the risk and increase the possibility of success.

정보기술 아웃소싱의 확대와 함께 최근 들어 아웃소싱을 전술적인 의도가 아닌 전략적인 의도에서 바라보며 비즈니스에 미치는 효과를 최대화하고자 아웃소싱을 추진하는 기업이 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라 다양한 형태를 보이고 있는 아웃소싱의 의도 결정에 영향을 미치는 요인에 대한 연구의 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 아웃소싱 의도는 선행 연구에 따라 정보시스템 개선, 사업에의 영향, 상업적 이용으로 분류하였고, 이러한 아웃소싱 의도를 결정하는 요인으로 조직 전략 유형 및 정보기술 역할 그리고 이들 간의 상호작용을 채택하고, 이들 요인이 아웃소싱 의도 결정에 미치는 효과를 보다 명확하게 파악하고자 조직 규모 및 정보기술 성숙도를 조절변수로 채택하였다. 분석 결과 정보기술의 역할보다는 조직의 전략이 아웃소싱 의도 결정에 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 조직의 전략 유형 중 방어자는 분석자와 수동적 반응자에 비해 정보시스템 개선을 위한 의도로 아웃소싱하는 정도가 높았다. 또한 탐색자의 경우에는 분석자 및 수동적 반론-자에 비해 상업적 이용을 위한 의도로 아웃소싱하는 정도가 높았다. 이는 조직의 전략적 특성이 아웃소싱 의도에 반영되는 것으로 볼 수 있다. 정보기술의 역할에 따라 아웃소싱 결정이 달라진다는 선행 연구가 있지만, 정보기술의 역할에 따라 아웃소싱 의도가 달라진다고 보기는 어려운 것으로 밝혀졌다. 또한 조직의 전략 유형 및 정보기술 역할 간 상호작용에 따라 아웃소싱 의도가 달라진다고 보기는 어려운 것으로 나타났다. 아웃소싱 결정을 내리게 될 때 조직의 전략을 적극적으로 파악 및 반영하여 아웃소싱의 의도를 분명히 한다면, 아웃소싱의 실패 위험을 낮추고 성공 가능성을 높여주게 될 것이다.

The classical IT-Outsourcing studies have focused on the factors which a company decides for the IT-Outsourcing strategy. But the main concerns of recent researches are more about the Critical Success Factors determining the Success of the IT-Outsourcing service. Especially, the factors, which enhance the level of Success during and after the implementation of IT-Outsourcing services, are the main field of the recent researches. The study about the Partnership between Outsourcer and Outsourcee are also one of the most frequently researched themes. The result of these studies shows us that the "Reliability" and "Communication" are the main factors for the successful partnership. In this paper we try to find out how the IT-Outsourcing factors (independent variable) have influenced on the Success of IT-Outsourcing strategy (dependent variable) with 4 kinds of parameters. These moderate variables are the 4-types of Partnership by FORT, that is, "Support", "Reliance", "Alignment" and "Alliance".

User firms regarded integation of distributea data centers as the prominent issue of IS environment changes. Meanwhile, SI firms chose management of IS/VAN center, office automation(OA), and management of global network, as the more important issues in the application area of outsourcing. Among the merits of outsourcing, both of them considered cost reduction and IS flexibility as the most important factors, However, they chose the difficulty of management control and the lack of operation knowledge among the demerits of outsourcing, Also, they commonly selected overall IS consulting among the components of outsourcing diffusion. In the question of future outsourcing services, user firms chose the adoption of client/server architecture, while SI firms selected the application of multimedia. These results show that there are some differences of preference between user firms and SI firms. Most of user firms consider the outsourcing to maximize information utilization, while the service suppliers focus on new IT adoption and its application to organization. For the strategic use of outsourcing services, SI firms are required to establish the diffusion strategy to meet the outsourcing needs of user firms.

As the digital economy goes global, firms are trying to find suppliers that can address their managerial goals and strategies. The alternatives are not confined to domestic firms. Firms have been trying to connect to foreign partners worldwide. Although offshore outsourcing grants firms various benefits, they present big cultural challenges. However, there is little research on the impact of cultural or country factors on outsourcing. The goal of this paper is to synthesize the outsourcing success literature and develop propositions for outsourcing success in the context of offshore outsourcing. This paper proposes that cultural effects should be included in evaluating the success of offshore outsourcing. Knowledge sharing and the scope of outsourcing are adopted in the base outsourcing success model from previous literature. In the extended model partnership quality is included as a mediator and organizational capability and outsourcing relationship type are also included as moderator. Finally, the integrated framework of offshore outsourcing success includes cultural factors as moderators of the relationships between outsourcing success antecedents and the success of offshore outsourcing. Reasoning for propositions, managerial implications, and future research directions are discussed.

Owing to the current economic downturn, one of the most important goals of the organizations who are actively involved in Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO) is the cost efficiency. We focus on supplier firm's domain understanding to make the cost efficiency; therefore, we examine how the disadvantages from lower domain knowledges affect outsourcing performance moderated by outsourcing ratio and knowledge change environments. That is, if clients can endure disadvantage from service providers' lower domain knowledge, they can achieve cost efficiency by choosing lower domain knowledge suppliers with less expensive cost. To examine performance gap depending on the environments, we applied 'A Learning Model of IT Outsourcing' which is suggested by previous literature. As a result, we suggest five strategies for clients to contract with suppliers which have lower domain knowledge: (1) Prepare the strategy to endure disadvantages from the early stage. (2) Make the strategy depending on outsourcing ratio. (3) Knowledge transfer between organizations is important. (4) Make a short-term contract if they do not have good environments for organizational learning. (5) Client's knowledge change environments are more important than those of supplier's. Finally, we offer various implications for clients and suppliers in IT outsourcing.

Recently, IT outsouricng has been one of the major concerns of many companies. This paper explores the relationship between information technology outsourcing risk factors and outsourcing performance. It is based upon a three-phase process utilizing IPO (Input-Process-Output) system. The first phase means the outsourcing planning risks t~at arise from overall environment of outsourcing, organizational refuse, and wrong contracts. The second phase implies outsourcing operational risks, which are occurred while out-sourcing perform and consist of organizational acceptances of outsourcing, partnership and hidden costs. The last phase is outsourcing performance based on four perspective of BSC(Blanced Scored Card). The survey was performed on the IT/IS firms, and the data was collected from 53 service receivers. The result of the analysis are as follows. First, Outsourcing planning risks positively affects the operational risks. Second, Outsourcing operational risks negatively affects the Outsourcing Performance.
