Outsourcing and offshoring business services
Bringing together theoretical and empirical studies from the Journal of Information Technology, this book provides a definitive guide to research discovered on the growing global sourcing phenomenon. Paying particular attention to Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO) and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), theoretical chapters explore insightful ways of thinking about the different facets of outsourcing, and provide useful information to practitioners and researchers. Empirical chapters report the findings of 405 major research studies into the risks and successes of relationships between customer and vendor, the development of trust in these relationships, the factors affecting locations for offshoring, and specialized offshoring organizations such as captive centres. In this comprehensive study, the editors present an expert review of the historical development of this field, and offer analysis of emerging findings and practices for the future.

THEME 1118 OF THE STF: THE OUTSOURCED WORKER'S NEW BATTLE IN THE COURTS/ TEMA 1118 DO STF: A NOVA BATALHA DO TRABALHADOR TERCEIRIZADO NA JUSTICA
This article analyzes STF's Theme 1118, which redefined the public administration's subsidiary liability in outsourcing. The research discusses the historical evolution of outsourcing in Brazil, the impacts of the STF's decision on the burden of proof distribution, and the consequences for outsourced workers' access to justice. It is argued that the decision represents a setback in labor protection by shifting to the employee the obligation to prove a negative fact. As an alternative, the article proposes legislative and procedural solutions that could mitigate the effects of this change, ensuring greater balance in the public administration's accountability.

The dialectical meaning of offshored work : neoliberal desires and labour arbitrage in post-socialist Romania
\"The Dialectical Meaning of Offshored Work analyzes how offshoring investments function as a platform for intercultural encounters among corporate actors and local populations of hosting communities. The book synthesizes ethnographic research, media reviews, and policy analysis to examine how localized forms of offshoring production occur in social, political and economic processes to highlight dilemmas connected to mobility of capital, modernization, social equality and capitalist expansion. The book delineates the complex interplay between Western neoliberalism and a transforming post-socialist Europe, to show the complex ways in which offshoring production infiltrates local communities. Analyzing issues of labor, work and employment, this book engages with current scholarship on critical management, sociology, anthropology, and East European studies\"-- Provided by publisher.

Out of sight : the long and disturbing story of corporations outsourcing catastrophe
\"When jobs can move anywhere in the world, bosses have no incentive to protect either their workers or the environment. Work moves seamlessly across national boundaries, yet the laws that protect us from rapacious behavior remain tied to national governments. This situation creates an all-too-familiar \"race to the bottom,\" where profit is generated on the backs of workers and at the cost of toxic pollution. In Out of Sight, Erik Loomis-a historian of both the labor and environmental movements-follows the thread that runs from the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire in New York in 1911 to the collapse of the Rana Plaza factory building outside of Dhaka, Bangladesh, in 2013. The truth is that our systems of industrial production today are just as dirty and abusive as they were during the depths of the industrial revolution and the Gilded Age, but the ugly side of manufacturing is now hidden in faraway places where workers are most vulnerable. Today, American capitalists threaten that any environmental regulations will drive up the cost of production and force them to relocate our jobs to a country where they don't face such laws and can re-create their toxic work conditions. It wasn't always like this. In his insightful book, Loomis shows that the great environmental victories of twentieth-century America-the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, the EPA-were actually union victories. This history is a call to action: when we fight for our planet, we fight for our own dignity as workers and citizens.\"-- Provided by publisher.

Externaliser les services d'entretien des collèges : une économie pour les finances publiques ?
Outsourcing cleaning service in public high school: a saving for public finances? — This article examines the financial implications of outsourcing processes for cleaners in public high schools. Based on a monograph and national statistics, we compare all costs first for the public authority, then more broadly for public finances, taking into account various fiscal and social effects. It appears that outsourcing must rely on significant reductions in the volume of work to allow real budgetary savings, which raises questions about the social impact and quality of service of these strategies.
