Customer Reviews
In depth coverage of outsourcing. - Rated I bought this after reading other reviews both here and in the US. I was not disappointed.Well worth the money. Another source of good quality advice from a UK Source is "The Outsourcing Handbook." Pub 2006 by Kogan Page.Recommended by the Institute of Directors. Stan Felstead. Interchange Resources. UK. A mediocre book on outsourcing - Rated Brown has achieved to describe a great deal of the outsourcing project management side of how to outsource. However, while I was reading the book I felt I had heard it all before in some other books I've read previously on outsourcing contract and project management. The only essence in the book are the good examples provided to explain each stage of the outsourcing process. I would say that there are books which do go through outsourcing in more ways than one including socio-economic, legal and cultural aspects of onshore or offshore outsourcing. Undoubtedly the Most Comprehensive Outsourcing Manual & The Most Highly Praised - Rated I agree, get this one first. I provides priceless lessons and hard to find resource directories. You might not need another books on the subject after reading this single volume.\ Top Selling Global Outsourcing Manual - Rated I've read the top ten books on outsourcing in order to teach our companies' managers on the concepts and trends. By far, THE BLACK BOOK OF OUTSOURCING, surpasses the others in resources, quality and readibility, and most value. If you're only going to buy one book on outsourcing, make it this one. Comprehensive survey - Rated Authors Douglas Brown and Scott Wilson offer a good, elementary introduction to outsourcing. They present a comprehensive survey of how to decide whether to outsource and how to select an outsource vendor, deal with contract negotiations and prepare for the reality behind the hype of outsourcing. Many business readers may be surprised to learn that, notwithstanding the great difference in pay between Indian and American engineers (for example), first-year savings on outsourcing contracts may be as little as 15%, and company productivity may fall by this amount or more because of the time you must invest in knowledge-transfer and training. The book includes a lengthy directory of firms involved in outsourcing services and provides several chapters to guide employees who are facing the possibility of having their jobs outsourced. We recommend this book to managers whose companies are considering outsourcing and to those who hope for careers in the burgeoning outsourcing industry.
