| Abstract: | In this article, the institutional effects (hereafter as: inst-effs.) on a fast-growing area of knowledge-intensive business services (here as: buss-srvs.), that is, IT outsourcing (as: outs.) are examined, using empirical evidence from Germany and the the U.K. The research extends earlier studies on how client-supplier relations shape markets for buss-srvs. It also contributes to varieties of capitalism debates by highlighting heterogeneous inst-effs. within countries and common systemic trends, incl. multinational IT firms, in the development of the market for IT outs. Among others, it is shown that the diverse inst. contexts of Germany and the U.K. provided an equally favourable basis for growth in the IT outs. market, despite its apparent deregulatory bias. |
