Outsourcing Can Do Much More Than Just Cut Costs

maddy — Thu, 17 May 2012 23:40:05 +0000

Companies that successfully create and sustain value year after year are rare. Many try to, but a recent study of 2,000 companies over 10 years by our consulting firm, Bain & Co., found that only one in 10 achieved sustained, profitable growth. Outourcing and offshoring began as cost-cutting measures, but companies that create real sustained value routinely use them for far more strategic ends--to gain capabilities that they don't have in-house, or to strengthen capabilities they do have. We have found that 85% of those winners use capability-sourcing broadly and strategically for everything from developing world-class talent to bringing new products to market faster and enabling business model innovation. In other words, they've moved way beyond mere cost-cutting. Read more....

Offshore IT- The Latest Mantra of Success

newuser — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 11:40:10 +0000

IT is such a field in which the amount of work done till the end of the day always seems to be less as compared to the requirement. Hence most of the IT companies keep expanding themselves. But I’m sure that you’ll agree to the fact that this isn’t a cost effective way to get your work done. But there’s nothing to be anxious, because there’s an answer to this situation- ‘Offshore IT’. This mode of working is indeed new, but has been amazingly successful...click here to read more on Offshoring

Offshoring / Outsourcing Banks’ Trade Services

newuser — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 23:41:08 +0000

Ever since offshoring and outsourcing in the services sector began to evolve, the banking industry has been in the fore-front to take advantage of this trend. While it started with noncore activities in the periphery, as capabilities and confidence grew, it has progressed to business enablers such as IT and then to critical back-office processes and pre-sales/postsales support activities.

Trade Services, such as letters of credit, offered by Banks is a critical business activity that has been considered for offshoring/outsourcing by major banks in recent times. Interestingly, as we shall show, the need here is not just because of cost, but due to other multiple interlinked business factors...click here to read ahead

Case Study on Unilever

admin — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 11:34:08 +0000

This article considers key issues relating to the organization and performance of large multinational firms in the post-Second World War period. Although foreign direct investment is defined by ownership and control, in practice the nature of that "control" is far from straightforward. The issue of control is examined, as is the related question of the "stickiness" of knowledge within large international firms. The discussion draws on a case study of the Anglo-Dutch consumer goods manufacturer Unilever, which has been one of the largest direct investors in the United States in the twentieth century.

Case Study: Socially Responsible Outsourcing

admin — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 11:00:39 +0000

Outsourcing is the process of contracting a business function to someone else. It is sometimes confused with offshoring, though a function may be outsourced without offshoring or vice versa. The opposite of outsourcing is called vertical integration or insourcing. The case is one of “socially-responsible outsourcing” (SRO): the use of – in this case IT – outsourcing contracts to drive livelihood benefits directly into poor communities. I’ve already written up an impact analysis of SRO that delivered new jobs, incomes, skills and empowerment into poor urban communities in Kerala. The case study analysed here also involved SRO to poor communities in India, but this time to telecentres in rural Bihar. It contracted from city-based clients both data work (data entry, data editing, digitisation for three clients) and voice work (call centre-based service/technical support and tele-sales for six clients including the Govt of Bihar). The full case report is available online.

Case Study on Trade Unions

admin — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 09:40:47 +0000

Trade unions are a major component of the system of modern industrial relations in any nation, each having, in their constitution, their own set of objectives or goals to achieve. Change in the political, social and educational environment has seen them rechristened as a forum that protects and furthers workers' interests and improves the quality of life of workers, enlarging their traditional roles of establishing terms and conditions of employment For more information on THE CHANGING ROLES OF TRADE UNIONS IN INDIA This article presents an expanded model of union education in relation to the learning and action required to mediate workplace change. It is a model of workplace learning that begins from a labour perspective and explores the role of union learning, research and policy as a means of building the collective capacity to challenge the agenda of workplace change.
