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.

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".

Faced with tougher competition in global, organizations are pressured to improve organizational productivity, including information systems(IS) departments. Especially related to IS, trying to remain competitive and up-to-date in rapidly changing world is becoming a financial burden to many organizations. Through outsourcing, organizations can provide better services and acquire and maintain a competitive advantage. In recent years IS outsourcing related researches have appeared in trade and academic literature. However the research on accounting information systems(AIS) outsourcing is very little or limited. This study attempts to empirically test the relationship between determinant factors and the degree of accounting information systems outsourcing as well as the relationship between success factors and the interactions between the degree of accounting information systems outsourcing and outsourcing success. Based on the previous studies on IS outsourcing and its related theories, determinant factors(transaction characteristic, resource performance, and risk dependence) and success factors(monitor, participation, and vendor capability) were identified and their measures were developed. Empirical results demonstrate that the change in the degree of AIS outsourcing is determined by the specificity of accounting information asset, uncertainty, the effect of internal AIS, AIS cost-effectiveness, and cost increase risks, and that monitor and vendor capability are implementation factors determining the degree of outsourcing success.

This study explores a model of partnership to the success of outsourcing CTI(computer telephony integration) based customer service centers of a telecommunication service company. The motivation of the study is to extend the research on IT outsourcing to IT-enabled BPO of customer service centers as a specific IT outsourcing practice. Previous research on IT outsourcing partnership and success is reviewed for developing an a research model of IT-enabled BPO. This model is proposed based on the previous partnership success models in information systems research. The results of the study confirm major factors related to successful IT-enabled BPO in previous research. Especially, the specificity of a contract and strategic collaboration in partnership are found to be influential on the success of IT-enabled BPO.

While the client-vendor relationship has been mainly examined from the service receiver's perspective in IS outsourcing literature, the vendor's factors have seldom been explored. To address this issue, our study adopts interaction process theory and develops the model focusing on the competence of the vendor as a key antecedent of the client-vendor relationship intensity and outsourcing success. Results from empirical data gathered from Korean firms indicate that the vendor competence factors identified in this paper positively impacts the client-vendor relationship and outsourcing success. The findings have significant implications for IS outsourcing practices and further research.

치열한 경쟁환경에서 많은 기업들이 외부의 전문성 활용을 통한 비용절감, 리스크 감소, 경영효율화 추구, 핵심역량의 강화 등을 위해 아웃소싱을 도입하고 있다. 또한, 기업전략 및 기업의 구조적 변혁을 통한 혁신적 활동으로써 아웃소싱을 전략적으로 활용하고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 우리나라 제조업을 중심으로 아웃소싱 파트너 선정요인과 전략에 따른 아웃소싱 성공도와 BSC 성과간의 영향에 관한 연구를 하였다. 따라서 제조기업의 아웃소싱 전략과 아웃소싱 파트너 선정요인에 따른 성공도를 파악하고 그에 따르는 기업의 성과를 BSC 관점에서 실증분석을 하였다. 본 연구는 제조기업의 아웃소싱 성공도와 기업의 BSC관점에서의 성과에 관한 요인을 파악함으로써 현재 진행 중인 아웃소싱 업체의 평가 및 보상에 관하여 실무적 접근을 가능토록 하였다. 현재 기업의 환경 및 전략 의도에 따라 아웃소싱 파트너 선정과 아웃소싱 전략을 수행함으로써 만족도와 효과에 대한 기대치를 예상할 수 있는데 도움이 될 것이다.

This study develops a contingency fit between client IT capability and vendor competence in IS outsourcing relationship by integrating both the contingency theory in organization and the relationship theory in IS outsourcing. By adopting a fit as a moderation, the relationship intensity of IS outsourcing is hypothesized to be influenced by the fit between client IT capability and vendor competence, thereby leading to the success of outsourcing. The testing data was obtained from 20 IS outsourcing projects from both clients and vendors in Korea. The research model proposed in this study was then tested using the structural equation model (SEM). As expected, the result shows that when there is a fit between client IT capability and vendor competence, higher level of relationship intensity and outsourcing success exhibits. The findings have significant impactions for further research and practice.

Various stakeholders within and outside of the organization are involved and participate in the outsourced IS development. As their interests and goals are different conflict arises in the process of their interaction, and it is an important factor affecting outsourcing success. The study focuses on the conflict between client users and vendor, i.e. main conflict in the outsourcing project, and examines the relationship of conflict with project success, the antecedents of conflict, and investigates the effectiveness of conflict resolution facilitation. An integrated conceptual model is developed grounded on is outsourcing, IS development, project management, and organizational behavior literature. Nine specific hypotheses on the conflict in outsourcing projects are proposed, and data collection and analysis are performed with 214 ISD outsourcing projects. Results indicated that the conflict between client users and vendor in outsourcing projects was found to have negative effects on project success. Main causes affecting conflict were examined, and relative influences of these causes were clarified. Recently internal IT personnel have been faced their role change with the increase of outsourcing, and the importance of their conflict resolution facilitation was highlighted.

본 연구에서는 파트너십이 IT아웃소싱의 성과에 영향을 미치는 매개변수로 작용할 것인지를 분석하고자 하였다. 분석결과 경제적 요인은 성과와 파트너십에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타나 아웃소싱의 도입이 비용감소라는 목적과는 달리 오히려 비용의 증가라는 문제점을 노출시켰다는 최근의 시장분석 결과가 입증된 것이라 하겠다. 그러나 전략적 요인과 기술적 요인은 아웃소싱의 성과에 직접 영향을 미친다는 것보다는 파트너십과의 작용을 통해서 성과에 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 고객사와 서비스 제공업체간 관계에 대한 계약상의 내용을 기준으로 처리하는 트랜잭션의 형태보다 고객사와 서비스 제공업체가 서로의 위험과 이익을 공유하며 한정된 계약범위보다 필요시 서로 협력하여 지속적인 관계를 유지해 나가는 파트너십이 중요하게 작용한다는 경향이 반영된 결과라 하겠다. 따라서 성공적인 아웃소싱은 양자가 지속적인 의사소통은 물론 상호간 위험과 이익을 공유하며 필요시 서로 상생할 수 있는 파트너십 관계로의 이상적인 관계관리가 요구된다고 하겠다.
