Fifth Global Sourcing Workshop

14 - 17  March 2011

Courchevel 1850, France

Following the success of the past Global Sourcing Workshops, we are
pleased to release this Call for Papers for the Fifth Global Sourcing
Workshop which will be held March 14-17, 2011 in Courchevel 1850,
France. 

The workshop will focus on Global Sourcing with a specific interest in
practices that improve firm*s performance and those that affect
communities and societies. This workshop aims to bring together
viewpoints from various disciplines, including IB, Strategy, OM, OB and
IS on global sourcing of IT, Business and Knowledge Processes and
Innovation. 

We invite research articles, works in progress and *focus on
practice* papers that investigate topics relating to global
outsourcing and offshoring. In particular, the workshop will endeavour
to present the views of managers from both client and vendor
perspectives. Some of the specific themes that are of interest in this
workshop are:

*	Sourcing models (e.g. offshoring, offshore-outsourcing,
near-shoring, cloud computing and SaaS)
*	Sourcing decision making
*	Sourcing settings (multi-sourcing, bundle services, etc.)
*	Supplier capabilities 
*	Client capabilities  
*	Outsourcing life cycle
*	Captive centres
*	Emerging topics and concepts in sourcing


We are interested in papers that are both conceptual and
empirically-based. 

Please note that a small conference venue has been reserved with
guaranteed attendance restricted to those having papers accepted for
presentation. Participants need to book early to secure  reserved
accommodation at the conference location or other rooms nearby. See full
