Offshore Outsourcing,,,
In my opinion offshore outsourcing is unfair. During week 7, this subject sparked a lot discussion and hit really close to home for me. I have been a victim to offshore outsourcing and understand what it does to so many prominent companies and it's employees. Although I was able to capitalize on another great employment opportunity, there are many people that worked with that are still searching.

ReplyDeleteISAS 620 Information Systems Sourcing Management (3)
A study of how best to make and implement appropriate decisions in providing information systems to an organization. Focus is on the frameworks, tools, and techniques for making such decisions. Topics include the “make or buy” sourcing decision and various models of outsourcing, from the contracting of finite technical services through the use of off-the-shelf package software (including enterprise resource planning software) to the outsourcing of entire business processes. Processes and metrics used in the procurement and managing of outsourced services are also examined. Discussion also covers the phenomenon of “offshoring” (i.e., outsourcing business processes and functions to other countries) and its ramifications.
