Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立高雄第一科技大學 === 資訊管理所 === 91 === Information technology changes rapidly, enterprises have to substain their competitive advantages outside the environment to response the changing market, that performs the information outsourcing strategies as a reslut. Studies about outsourcing occurs recently, but most studies performs in a economic viewpoint, say resource-base theory、resource-dependency theory、transaction cost theory and agent-cost theory. However, economic approaches failed to address the fact that the economies of scale and scope achieved by information outsourcing may vary significantly depending on the environment, structure, and strategy factors. There have been many studies focusing on information outsourcing in social perspective, most common studies are about the partnership field. From a embeddedness perspective , this study propose a exploratory method and confirmation method for relationship networks base on social capital and partnership literature. We identify the effects of relationship network from the relevant literature and clarify the concept of relationship network and network precedents. The research model and hypothesis were proposed from relevant literature also. The model is composed of four parts: social capital theory, partnerships, network precedents, and outsourcing effectiveness. We examine the impact of network effects on outsourcing effectiveness in quantitative method, using questionnaire to collect the empirical data. Hypothesis were tested for 105 service receivers in Taiwan top 1000 enterprises in structural equation modeling(SEM) method. Finally we proposed an integrated analysis results, some implications, limitations, and future directions.
