  Outsourcing Thought Leaders: Managing Business without Borders
 
Published in 2006 — This book reveals that a clear view is emerging of the changes that lie ahead for the global services industry, as well as of the most effective approach for dealing with these changes.

Outsourcing Thought Leaders: Managing Business without BordersNot long ago, some observers were getting ready to write off global outsourcing. A series of well-publicized corporate offshoring failures, public outcry over job losses in North America and Europe, and the souring experiences of first-generation contracts had led some analysts to predict trouble for the future of the global business service industry.  Those predictions have proven wrong.

Instead, the industry is becoming ever more sophisticated and, for many customers, indispensable. In "Outsourcing Thought Leaders: Managing Business without Borders," executives of some of the field’s most successful companies speak candidly about this fast-moving marketplace. These compelling interviews — half of the subjects lead prominent outsourcing service providers, half are veterans who have created and driven successful corporate outsourcing programs — reveal that a clear view is emerging of the changes that lie ahead for the global services industry, as well as of the most effective approach for dealing with these changes.

Learn from the executives of these distinguished firms.
