英文文献摘要:
A corporation’s offshore outsourcing may be seen as the result of a discrete, strategic decision taken in response to an increasing pressure from worldwide competition. However, empirical evidence of a representative cross-sector sample of international Danish firms indicates that offshore sourcing in low-cost countries is best described as a learning-by-doing process in which the offshore outsourcing of a corporation goes through a sequence of stages towards sourcing for innovation. Initially, a corporation’s outsourcing is driven by a desire for cost minimization. Over a period of time the outsourcing experience lessens the cognitive limitations of decision-makers as to the advantages that can be achieved through outsourcing in low-cost countries: the insourcer/vendor may not only offer cost advantages, but also quality improvement and innovation. The quality improvements that offshore outsourcing may bring about evoke a realization in the corporation that even innovative processes can be outsourced.
一个公司的海外外包可能被视为一个离散的,战略决策的结果,以应对日益增长的压力,来自全球竞争。然而,有代表性的跨国丹麦公司跨部门样本的经验证据表明,在低成本国家的离岸采购最好被描述为一个边做边学的过程,在这个过程中,一个公司的离岸外包经历了一系列的阶段来寻找创新的采购。最初,公司的外包是由成本最小化的愿望驱动的。在一段时间内,外包经验减少了决策者对于在低成本国家通过外包所能获得的优势的认知局限性:外包商/供应商不仅可以提供成本优势,还可以提供质量改进和创新。离岸外包可能带来的质量改进使公司意识到甚至创新过程也可以外包。
