摘要: Outsourcing is not a new business practice. It is mandatory for all organizations and individuals – the only variables are which activities to outsource and to what extent.  Outsourcing of core functions in supply chains (e.g., design, manufacturing, logistics) is not a new concept either, but seems to have grown rapidly in popularity among OM/SCM researchers. This may be a due to recent failure cases, involving companies such as Boeing and Apple, which have drawn the gaze of the media and the general public. This talk will provide a tutorial on the reality of supply chain outsourcing and survey the prevailing OM/SCM paradigms for investigating the topic.  The intent is to help researchers produce more defensible work, as well as identify gaps in the literature that are worthy of attention.
