[AISWorld] New Research Centre: Global Sourcing and Services at Loughborough School of Business

[Ilan Oshri]

The Loughborough Centre for Global Sourcing and Services’ (CGSS) main objective is to undertake an independent research on the trends and practices in global sourcing of IT and business services and to improve sourcing practices through on-going engagement with managers and policy makers. In particular, the centre takes interest in understanding how individuals, teams, organisations and other stakeholders cope with the:

·         Centralisation of business and IT service functions through shared service units;

·         Disaggregation of business and IT service functions through captive centres and third party vendors;

·         Back-sourcing of previously outsourced business and IT service functions;

·         Emergence of new sourcing models such as cloud services.
