Moving From Low-Cost to True Partnerships:Dynamic Governance Mechanisms

摘要：

Many companies embracing international outsourcing are motivated by the opportunity to reduce costs.However,such cost reduction benefits bring hidden costs of coordination and control to ensure a smooth flow of products and or services.Research suggests that as time elapses,exchange progresses from a mere opportunistic cost-reduction perspective,towards a more resource-based view,to finally reach a relational stage characterized by trust.Results from the qualitative phase of our research suggest that New Zealand companies,in general,did not manage to move away from the initial stage of opportunistic low cost exchange mainly because they accessed Chinese suppliers through middlemen,typically located in Hong Kong or Taiwan.
