Outsourcing - Insourcing
| Outsourcing became fashionable in the late 1980s, came of age in the 1990s, and is now a normal part of corporate life. This new book covers the newest elements of outsourcing today and discusses how strategic alliances should be established between the buyer and supplier.
Professor in strategic management Per Jenster (Dept. of Int. Economics and Management) recently published a new book on Wiley with Henrik Stener Pedersen, PhD student Patricia Plackett (Dept. of Industrial Economics and Strategy) and David Hussey.

- Retooling marketing and the sales force
- Managing buyer/supplier relationships
- Pricing solutions and managing risks
- "Transitioning" human resources
- Structuring "next generation" IT solutions
- Achieving quality in outsourcing
- Getting a good slice of a bigger pie
