Abstract

Two typical different patterns of Information Systems (IS) outsourcing are considered as the most effective approaches in supply chain management. They are conventional outsourcing and quasi-outsourcing. Generally the later is often adopted in large-scale organizations in Japan. In order to design an effective strategy, we should identify the factors which will give important impact on the performance of IS outsourcing. In this paper, we review the relevant literature of IS outsourcing, and propose four hypotheses. We test these four hypotheses by logistic regression analysis based on our original questionnaire survey from Japanese companies in order to find the relationship between the IS outsourcing and its determinants. And finally implications of this study are discussed. Therefore, this paper provides an empirical perspective to identify the determinants of conventional outsourcing versus quasi-outsourcing in Japan. ©ISAROB 2009.
