The 14th Global Sourcing Workshop, 18-21 December 2019, Obergurgl,
Austria
Following the success of the past Global Sourcing Workshops, we
are pleased to release this Call for Papers for the 14th Global
Sourcing Workshop which will be held December 18-21, 2019 in
Obergurgl, Austria. We have chosen this location and dates to make
it easier for colleagues attending ICIS 2019 (Munich, Germany) to
attend the GSW 2019.
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
<http://www.palgrave-journals.com/jittc/index.html>.
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
endeavour 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, plural sourcing, etc.)
* Supplier and client capabilities and competences
* Contractual and relational governance
* Sourcing eco-system
* 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
* 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
<https://au.sagepub.com/en-gb/oce/journal-of-information-technology-teaching-cases/journal203545>
(JITTC).
Since 2010 we have been publishing selected papers as book
chapters in Lecture Notes in Business Information
Processing
<http://www.springer.com/series/7911> (by
Springer
<http://www.springer.com/>). 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
<https://au.sagepub.com/en-gb/oce/journal-of-information-technology/journal203546>
and high quality teaching cases in
JITTC
<http://www.palgrave-journals.com/jittc/index.html>.
