Abstract:

The concept and practice of traditional outsourcing is certainly not a new concept.

Abstract:

In analyzing the relationship between outsourcing and firm performance, different authors have studied the effects that outsourcing can have on the firm. Even if we establish an initial link between outsourcing and representative measurements of the results achieved through cost savings or the creation of greater market value, no author seems to have established a precise relationship between outsourcing and the most representative measures of company performance (organizational and business performance). After reviewing the literature on this issue, we believe that research has undervalued th

Abstract:

Organizational performance is a cornerstone of any thriving institution, serving as a critical measure of how effectively an organization meets its goals and fulfills its mission. Higher performance which is the desire of many organizations is characterized by their strategic vision, cohesive culture, and resilient processes, which collectively drive sustainable success. Non-achievement of organizational goals by textile firms can manifest as a result of discrepancies between the organization’s strategic objectives and the supply chain’s operational goals. The research therefore sought to asse

After analyzing environments Rosenborg Football Club operates in we introduce the regional-global model as a new organizational model in order to explain the success of the team using insights from managerial cognition and chaos theory. The success of the club in the years from 1988 until 2002 can be explained by the use of good routines linked to improvisation. We link improvisation to “total football” and “flow theory as a means to achieve success. We focus on qualitative methods when interviewing the former coach Mr, Niels Arne Eggen and former players were interviewed using thematic analys

AbstractWith the rapid globalization of business activities, logistics has become incredibly complex and intricate. As such, managing logistics is more challenging than ever. One of the trendy solutions to deal with this challenge is logistics outsourcing. In this regard, Sub‐Saharan African firms are no exception. To help Sub‐Saharan African firms succeed in leveraging logistics outsourcing for their competitive differentiators, this article aims to investigate how the organizational capabilities of third‐party logistics service providers (3PLs) contribute to their users' logistics outsourcin

Abstract:

This study aimed at investigating outsourcing performance in Ugandaâ€™s commercial banks basing on the variables of contract, relational norms, trust and commitment. It was motivated by the fact that where as outsourcing has been identified as a global trend in this millennium and a competitive strategy for the contemporary business, there were limited (if any) empirical studies on outsourcing performance in Uganda. Besides, previous studies conducted outside Uganda have provided conflicting views on whether or not contract and relational norms can be used concurrently to enhance outsourcing p

Abstract:

New public management (NPM) paradigm plays an increasingly important role in contemporary public management practices throughout the democratic world. This article argues that the driving force behind NPM reform in China at the local level is the competitive pressure to improve administrative performance. In China, where there is no electoral democratic regime, local governments face pressure in competition with counterparts over economic performance and consequent promotion opportunities for their leadership. The introduction of NPM can make local governments more effective and efficient in p

Abstract:

Should firms perform logistics services on their own or should they buy them from a logistics provider? Today’s global competition forces companies to re-evaluate their existing processes, technologies and services in order to focuse on strategic activities. Outsourcing is now increasingly used as a competitive weapon in today’s economy. External parties can often do job quicker, cheaper and better. This has resulted in an increasing awareness of the importance of the make-or-buy decision, the dilemma organisations face when deciding between keeping logistics services in house or purchasing th

Abstract:

The objective of the research is to examine the relationship between outsourcing and employee relations management. Researchers in the past have emphasised why companies should outsource based on cost savings and gaining a competitive edge, while others focus on the assumed unpalatable effects of outsourcing. Nevertheless, the impact of outsourcing on the relationship between labour and management has long been understudied. This research used a survey design with a sample size of 100. Responses from 63 employees of the selected organisations comprising twenty-five (25) from outsourced employe
