Synopsis

Just as many business activities are being outsourced in today's economy, so a number of companies are beginning to "netsource" computer applications dealing with operations such as accounting and human resources. This guide presents information to business managers on how to successfully decide what applications to outsource and how to evaluate the risks and the benefits. Significant material is presented on case-studies in the United States and Europe. Two of the authors have benefited financially from Price-Waterhouse and Arthur Andersen and the third works for Kern AG, (all companies with an interest in the growth of netsourcing). Annotation c.
