The Contracting Organization - A Strategic Guide to Outsourcing - Simon (Professor of Management at The Graduate School of Business Domberger

A guide to the theory and practice of contracting, this text looks at the way in which organizations are increasingly contracting out - \outsourcing\ - many activities traditionally done in-house. Deregulation, cost reduction, a focus on core activities and the growth of the service economy all drive this process and are examined in the text.
