Learning Process in Asymmetric IT Offshore Outsourcing Relationship:A Combinative Perspectives of Resource Dependence and Alliance Evolution Theory

摘要：

This paper puts forth a conceptual model of vendors learning in asymmetric IT offshore outsourcing from the combinative perspectives of resource dependence and strategic alliance evolution theory. Based on a multiple case study, we explore the conditions for the vendors skill acquisition and collaboration knowledge learning as well as the effects on offshoring relationship evolution. The asymmetric relationship highlights the instability of offshoring cooperation. As the bargaining power shifts, the vendors commitment into a particular offshoring relationship may be affected by the assessment of the clients trustworthiness, fairness and embeddedness bring about by collaboration knowledge learning.
