IAOP’s Research Committee

COMMITTEE CHAIRS



IAOP’s Research Committee sets and manages the association’s ongoing program to enhance our members’ practical understanding of the management science of outsourcing. Addressing a wide range of topics, IAOP’s Research Committee seeks to leverage the unique insights of outsourcing professionals alongside world-class research programs and organizations. 

2008 Research Agenda

Beginning in September 2008, IAOP will be releasing the results of the committee’s 2008 research agenda. These studies, which make up IAOP’s
Fall 2008 Thought Leadership Series, also will be shared at The 2009 Outsourcing World Summit® next February.

Ø Strategic Outsourcing Decision Making

As the world’s economy shifts, so do companies’ decisions on outsourcing. A research study, conducted in association with the University of South Wales, looks at why and how companies around the globe are making these decisions.


Ø Deep Dive into the Benefits and Risks from Outsourcing

Building upon the wealth of data collected by IAOP’s Academic Alliance Partner, Duke CIBER Fuqua School of Business, this study uncovers trends by geography, industry, function, and company size on the drivers and risks of outsourcing around the corner and across the world.

Ø Developing Reliable Measures of Alliance Success

How do companies measure outsourcing success? What techniques provide for the most effective understanding of the results achieved; setting the stage for better outcomes in the future? Developed in association with the University of Phoenix.

Using Tools to Enhance Outsourcing Outcomes

Tools to help organizations better design, implement, and manage outsourcing relationships are gaining in popularity. This study examines where we are, and more importantly, where we need to be as a profession in using technology to enhance outsourcing success. This survey will be unveiled at the The 2008 IAOP Governance Forum in Chicago on September 9, and results will be published at The 2009 Outsourcing World Summit in February.

Related Initiatives

The following initiatives are sponsored by their respective committees with support from IAOP’s Research Committee:

Ø Regional Outsourcing Profiles. A Boston Chapter sponsored initiative seeks to understand the pervasiveness of outsourcing (both business sent out and brought in) within the New England Region. Once this survey is successfully implemented it will be customized for use in other geographies.
