Outsourcing and Human Resource Management: An International Survey (Routledge Studies in the Growth Economies of Asia): An International Survey (Routledge Studies in the Growth Economies of Asia) (Hardcover)
by Ruth Taplin (Editor)

Now it is tricky for me to say too much about this book because I am likely to be a bit biased - I was involved in writing three of the chapters. However I do think it is an extremely good book, and offers a very much needed analysis of a wide range of issues around outsourcing. Hats off to Ruth Taplin for gathering together these chapters, she has made an excellent job of developing knowledge in this area.

Here is the Synopsis
Outsourcing is an increasingly popular strategy deployed by a variety of institutions, including banks, multinational companies and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This book assesses the problems and solutions for those attempting to outsource through an analysis of human resource management, insourcing, lifecycles of the project, insurance requirements, operational management and recruitment within the context of the financial services industry, automotive and IT industries of Japan, North and South Korea, South Africa, Mexico, Eastern Europe, China and India. Including detailed comparative case studies, this book: considers how outsourcing can best be made to work; explores the human side of outsourcing; offers practical advice for improving organizational relationships and performance; looks at important practices such as insourcing; and, provides much needed analysis of the risk and insurance issues involved in outsourcing.

This could also be put in the classified section - cut out a picture from Amazon and load into an add - the link to the website could also be put in the ad descriptor.

Good idea, as we have chapters in it (even though we do not get money for sales) it would be good to see it promoted further.

Cheers,
Stephanie

At surface outsourcing looks a good option but their are several downsides too. One need to be careful about choosing vendors specially from country like Philippines where this is just a beginning and we need to educate them a lot. I have several bad experience with them, specially on delivery on time and some copyright issues.

Any company from US or UK looking to outsource to India or other countries must look for vendor credibility before going ahead. The cultural differences, language problem often leads to confusion.

Now Internet is changing, finding an suitable partner is the toughest task. Even the service providers from these countries are worried, if they are going to be paid or the work will be approved or not.
