Chapter Chapter 5 in Outsourcing Success, 2005, pp 88-110 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Once the company has prepared its sourcing strategy and decided to outsource/offshore a few functions, the question facing it is with whom will it walk down the aisle. As we described earlier, the first, and critical, step in the partner selection process is to identify the business aims being pursued. Indefinite or vague business strategies become ill-conceived alliance strategies. The business aims being pursued stem from the strategic gap analysis that is conducted by the company.
