| Abstract: | Outsourcing is not a quick fix. It needs a management culture that encourages and values collaboration. This paper highlights the organizational change implications of adopting an extensive outsourcing strategy. The research focuses on a telecommunications equipment manufacturer and its key suppliers. The company will be referred to as the Company for purposes of confidentiality. Over the last number of years the company has adopted a strategy which has led to the outsourcing of more activities to suppliers including assembly operations, piece part manufacture and, in some cases, design. This strategy has resulted in the company becoming a 'systems integrator' in which it manages and co-ordinates a network of best production and service providers. |
