title:
"taxonomy of information technology
outsourcing decision models",
abstract:
the need for a structured review of IT/IS outsourcing literature as it relates to decision making has been raised repeatedly by researchers. some researchers conclude that the absence of a taxonomy has resulted in outsourcing decisions being made without a structured approach or strategy. this paper proposes a taxonomy of IT/IS outsourcing decision models that may assist both practitioners and researchers. the paper provides an overview of the existing decision models, and an evaluation and classification of these models based on their applicability to the IT/IS outsourcing decision process. also discussed are the scope and type of outsourcing models, decision factors and the decision dimensions these models support.
