Abstract: China is a prominent outsourcing destination in Asia. International labour outsourcing, specially in the IT sector, has grown rapidly in recent years. This article defines outsourcing through an extensive review of the literature and discusses the opportunities and challenges for outsourcing to China. Seeking strategic ‘fit’ among the disparate elements that influence the firm’s outsourcing decision is recommended. The authors explore the IT and business landscapes in China and propose strategies for outsourcing success there.
