by A.B. Maynard
Nov 2, 2004
Abstract : Many companies base their outsourcing provider selection on only one aspect of the outsourcing relationship.

With many different aspects to consider, how can a company ensure they have made the right choice in selecting an outsourcing provider? 1. Defining the Problem 2. Where to Begin 3. Key Success Factors 4. Selection Process 5. Recommendations
