本文迫切地研究了德国的IS离岸现象的当前状态,这些现象依赖于在各个行业和公司进行的304个项目的样本,结果表明,这主要发生在电信及其范围内。降低成本是进入海上项目的主要原因,作为公司大型计划的一部分。明显的是,大多数项目都是从印度提供的项目特征,例如项目特征在较大的离岸计划中的嵌入性,项目的规模或项目的离岸设备上的嵌入程度相关的分离劳动时间几乎没有明显的差异。
This paper empirically examines the current state of the IS offshoring phenomenon in Germany regarding project characteristics and success patterns. Relying on a sample of 304 projects conducted at various industry sectors and companies, results show that IS offshoring primarily occurs in sectors Telecommunications and IT at large corporations. Cost reduction is the main reason for going offshore and offshore projects are executed as part of a larger program at companies. Noticeably, most projects are delivered from India. Additionally, neither captive offshoring nor offshore outsourcing dominates as a delivery option. Comparing different project subgroups regarding project success, the results reveal that projects delivered by an internal or partially owned service provider are more successful. Other project characteristics such as a project’s embeddedness in a larger offshoring program, a project’s size, or a project’s offshoring degree in terms of relatively offshored labor hours show few significant differences. The paper addresses the paucity of empirical research on the current state of the IS offshoring phenomenon in Germany.
