The Global Sourcing Workshop is back. We are pleased to release
this Call for Papers for the 15th Global Sourcing Workshop which
will be held December 10, 2022 at The IT University of Copenhagen
(ITU), Copenhagen, Denmark. We have chosen this location and date
to make it easier for colleagues attending ICIS 2022 to attend the
2022GSW. We booked only 1 day for the workshop as a pre-ICIS event
but can extend the workshop to 2 days if needed.
The workshop will aim to explore how new and emerging forms of
(out-)sourcing and offshoring, challenge sourcing practices and
theories, and consequently identify new directions for research
and practice. This workshop aims to bring together viewpoints from
various disciplines, including IB, Strategy, OM, OB and IS on
global sourcing of IT, Business Services and Innovation. We also
focus on teaching aspects related to outsourcing and offshoring
with fast track for publishing high quality teaching cases in
Journal of Information Technology Teaching Cases.
Paper Track
We invite research articles, work in progress and ?focus on
practice? papers that investigate topics relating to global
(out-)sourcing and offshoring. In particular, the workshop will
endeavor to present the views from client, supplier and advisory
viewpoints, from strategic, operational and social perspectives.
Some of the specific themes that are of interest in this workshop
are:
- Sourcing decision making
- Sourcing configurations (multi-sourcing etc.)
- Supplier and client capabilities and competences
- Contractual and relational governance
- Sourcing eco-systems
- Impact sourcing
- Cloud services
- Crowdsourcing
- New and emerging sourcing models including robotic process
automation, machine learning, artificial intelligence
- Captive (in-house) and shared service centres
- Backsourcing/re-shoring
- Knowledge-intensive services and innovation in
outsourcing/offshoring
- Cultural and social aspects of sourcing practice
- Sustainability and the impact on sourcing
- Emerging topics and concepts in sourcing not covered above
We are interested in papers that are both conceptual and
empirically-based.
Teaching Cases Track
We are interested in teaching cases on outsourcing and offshoring
which we would consider for publication in Journal of Information
Technology Teaching Cases (JITTC).
Since 2010 we have been publishing selected papers as book
chapters in Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (by
Springer). It is likely that we will publish another book based on
the papers from this Workshop. Furthermore, selected papers will
be invited to submit a revised version of their paper to be
considered for publication in Journal of Information Technology
and high quality teaching cases in JITTC.
